The feisty, ferociously fun Dublin post-punk band return with a punchy, on-point angry new number about the flawed economic term, watching systems fail in slow motion, housing crisis, rising costs, culture wars, climate collapse, and frustratingly being told to stay patient while everything burns. Out on City Slang / Sub Pop Records, it follows last year’s album All That Is Over. The band are Karla Chubb (vocals, guitar), Sam McCann (bass, vocals), Jack Callan (drums) and Zac Stephenson (guitar). To explore and enjoy more by SPRINTS, see also the other embedded links below.
Has anyone tried to explain trickle down economics to you in a bar?
I'm just waiting my whole life is waiting
I'm just waiting for pay but losing cents on inflation
Like a city on the brink of gestation
Aren't we supposed to be a some sort of first world nation
More money no gaffs emigrators
More lies no change see you later
Sick to death is the unanimous behaviour
I think I wanna give up, I wanna be Amy Taylor
But do you ever feel like?
It goes and it goes
And it turns and it turns
It goes on and on and on
It goes on and on and on
And it goes and it goes
And it turns and it turns
They're calling it free speech, it's free hate, racism disguised as nationalism
A home that's a tax haven, house crisis, humanity crisis
Don't even mention the midlife crisis
Oh and did I forget that we're destroying the environment and the fucking world is gonna end?
Sorry, I had to vent a little frustration
I mean have you seen the state of our government situation?
Did we all decide to succumb to americanisation?
I'm just gonna join the list of endless hospital patients?
Because, it really feels like
It goes and it goes
And it turns and it turns
It goes on and on and on
It goes on and on and on
And it goes and it goes
And it turns and it turns
It goes on and on and on
It goes on and on and on
On and on and on
On and on and on
On and on and on
On and on and on
On and on and on
On and on and on
No, I don't know economics
No, I don't know enough
But I've lived enough years in this city
To know you've really fucked it up
Never tired: SPRINTS
