lyrics

POUNDLAND SOCIETY

It's time to tear down all the myths
Of empires built, wars waged and won
They sell false pride in history
They sell you lies so you can't see
They've taken everything away
And point elsewhere to assign the blame
They've squandered all your heritage
Everything - they've sold it all - and you got nothing...

Poundland Society
- I see the desperation
- of this divided nation
- wave your flags that's all that you've got left

They started with a futile war
And made you play the patriot
Then they came for the unions
And took away your working rights
They closed down all the factories
Generations laid to waste
They said it's worth the price you paid
But as things changed you were left behind - you were left with nothing...

Now in this world of demagogues
They stir up hatred to unite
So you rally one more time
Behind your flags of ignorance
I'll leave you now as you celebrate
The hollowness of your victory
Your aim was so wide of the mark
You've handed power to the enemy - and you'll always have nothing

Poundland Society
- I see the desperation
- of this divided nation
- enjoy the independence
- of your bargain bin fucked existence
- you've got your sovereignty now
- say hello to penury now
- wave your flags that's all that you've got left

about

Slow Faction image

Slow Faction London, UK

“Slow Faction is a 1st generation-influenced punk band with a real London 77 sound. The aim of Slow Faction is simple – to make the music they want to hear; politically-charged songs with big hooks and choruses, reminiscent of the 1st wave of British punk. Slow Faction’s live sound has been described as a cross between The Clash and The Buzzcocks.” ... more
