The pack is playing fearless
They’re pulling up their pants
Catastrophe is genius
Perfect cover to advance
On the plus side you’re a winner
On the plus side you’re a winner
On the plus side you’re a winner
If you don’t know that you’ve lost
The player plays at feeling
Wielding fakeness like a pro
And what’s the point in hiding?
He still gets time on all their shows
On the plus side you’re a winner
On the plus side you’re a winner
On the plus side you’re a winner
If you don’t know that you’ve lost
The prick plays at a leader
Buys a Neumann, TV station
We don’t need no copyreader
If we make up the information
On the plus side you’re a winner
On the plus side you’re a winner
On the plus side you’re a winner
If you don’t know that you’ve lost
The pastor prays for justice
Preaching fear and fantasy
Whatever gets us through these troubled times
I know that God can’t judge me
On the plus side you’re a winner
On the plus side you’re a winner
On the plus side you’re a winner
If you don’t know that you’ve lost
At the very back of the liquor store
Back behind the discount rack
There is a metal door marked “Staff Only”
Open the door and see there, in the middle of the floor
A large, mahogany dresser
Open the drawers, see what’s inside
Outfits, every one your size
Double-breasted suit, work boots, temporary tattoos
Some fancy leather gloves, Aviators and jewels
Back outside, they don’t know what you’re into
They used to tell you, you can be anyone that you choose
But they never knew
That behind the entire perception of power
Lies a simple truth about knowing yourself
Every change that you’ve made changes you
So you’ve already become something else
The pariah, the messiah, the player, the prick
The pastor, the pack, the people
If all that you are is just muscle and will
Then passion must be the root of all evil
Terrific, marauding post-punk that will thrill fans of Idles with its pairing of cutting riffs and wry spoken/sung lyrics. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 26, 2022
