lyrics

I think the more that I see the more this view just seems to narrow down. I'm more a sceptic than I used to be, and I don't think it's getting better. They'll keep their blinders on. Safe in their habit. They've never given much of a thought. I think the older I get the more I feel like I'm just never gonna grow up. Not in a suit and tie way. Not in a way that drives my days into some pale and ordinary grey. I’m sure not gonna let my resentments go to waste. They keep me from from becoming a hopeless case like them. I’d rather spend my time framing my complaints. But there’s no hope for the hopeless, you know.

At first I was a bit hesitant, thinking "This sounds like Paul Westerberg fronting Leatherface." and then I thought: "Paul Westerberg fronting Leatherface would be AWESOME." System_Error

Well I first listened to this a couple of times on a quiet Sunday afternoon and it really took hold - Emotionally charged songs that resonate with killer riffs that tip a hat to HDQ and Leatherface.. A real gem of a second album that will stay in my top playlist for a while! Dave Miller

Not Like This

Iron Chic's narrative, some of the most aware & conscientious lyrics you will find in punk. The music is just as damn good... "There's no answers, so take a guess & make up the rest" "I couldn't stand to watch you die, so I died first, that's how I survived" 🌸💀🌸💀🌸 ©ough©ool
