I can’t believe you chose to be
This paranoid shell of a citizen
Compliant to authority
And demands of fear and war
Did you choose to pimp
What could be left
In your heart
To the annihilation of love
And change in time
Love and change in time
Where’s the reason?
Where’s the liberty?
Do we tie ourselves to this game
Of fear or our false idea of power?
Whispered in the ear
Are you sleeping?
Are you waiting for some compromise?
Is their vision hidden in our eyes?
Hidden in our eyes
Do you ask yourself in dreams
And in the dying hours of working days
What does this system want from me?
It’s no surprise they try to take
Over our actions and our anger
With each fashion cult on the hanger
Sacred distractions
But we can only fool ourselves
For so long ...
Where’s the reason?
Where’s the liberty?
Do we tie ourselves to this game
Of fear or our false idea of power?
Whispered in the ear
Are you sleeping?
Are you waiting for some compromise?
Is their longing hidden in our eyes?
There is a pulse beating under this life
Under this life
Our Generation
Suffocation
First world
Minute to hour
Oil tanker and tower
I won’t detonate this minefield
For your false idea of power
Where’s the reason?
Where’s the liberty?
Do we tie ourselves to this game
Of fear or our false idea of power?
Whispered in the ear
Are you sleeping?
Are you waiting for some compromise?
Is their vision hidden in our eyes?

Coming back to punk rock after spending a lot of time away listening to other things made this extremely hard hitting and fresh. McCaughan's poetic lyricsm in Sundowner shines through in this release. Somehow Metropole didn't hit me like most, but I can see how "You Are Here" was a precursor to one of my favorite records to come. Shaughn Martel

The verse "Can't even buy a coffee without exploiting someone" got me. It really hits hard. For the entire length of the album it felt like the end of the world.
But to be perfectly honest, it's just how life is these days. And it's fucked up. szczur
The legendary Crass made the stems from their debut available for remixing; the result is this excellent, mind-melting 40-track collection. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 19, 2022
