about

A song written in Edinburgh in 2008, the first recording was a solo ukulele version in the toilet of the apartment we were staying in Budapest, 2011. This, the first band version, was recorded partly in Edinburgh towards the end of 2013 with a few overdubs added in Budapest at the end of January 2014.

We recorded live as a trio - vocals, acoustic guitar and bass - before adding overdubs.

lyrics

My education's gone
I flushed it down the pan
I found I could not work
For people spreading dirt
They tried to box me in
To teach me how to win
I threw it all away
To live a life astray

Spit spit spit spit spit spit spit
I'm spitting out the shit
Bit by bit by bit by bit
I'm spitting out
Spitting out the shit

The doctors could not see
Just what was wrong with me
There's nowhere I belong
There's only words and song

(Chorus)

The men who rule the world
Are just like you and me
They throw scraps to the ground
The lost think they have found
Gold and silver pensions children
Churn them out of university
Send them out to work
When all we are is pure damn hurting

(Chorus)

I've lost the will to live
And found that life just lives
The rage that burns inside each cell
Your politics can go to hell
I can't take it I won't fake it
Laugh out loud at the absurdity
Freedom is a dream
Just one more of their crazy schemes

(Chorus)
