Dedicated to João Lucas (Jhonny Suxxx And The Fucking Boys).
lyrics
The First Lie
Born in a world full of preachers of righteousness
Where the power of words is fully exploited
To build reality…
Growing up everything just seemed so right
Surrounded by a world so small
Standing too close to see that we were living but a lie
Now nothing hides the difference that the words used deny
Now it’s time to learn the truth
That’s been staged disguised as the purest of loves
You always lied for the sake of protection
But destroyed and killed our souls instead
Now feeling dead how any of us can stand
And fight another day
But even now I know we’re not alone
So it’s not fair to give this up
We won’t just give up
All of those fingers there
Pointed at us, I know that you think
That we are freaks that don’t deserve
To be treated as if we were one of you
Honestly, I don’t know
If I’d really like to be one of you
Just stay there, fingers pointing
In a minute we will break ’em all
(All) we’ve known when young
Was that everything we wanted could be achieved
We just had to fight
But now we’re not that certain
We’re trapped inside this struggle
But we’re prepared!

The Minneapolis band add a horn section, a running surrealist allegory about walls, and an occasional nod to the elegiac to their electroshocked post-punk. Bandcamp Album of the Day Mar 4, 2024
