lyrics

Country boy with a guitar in his hand
He travels far across this land and
Documents everything he sees
With songs of brutal honesty and
He makes a stand
He draws a line in the sand
His truth is principled
He’ll never sell it out

And now he’s singing
This machine kills fascists
Yes, he’s singing
This guitar kills fascists

Small town in depression times
No work, no hope, just blighted lives
A harsh and violent, hateful place
They thought black gold their saving grace but
The oil men came
They took everything
They stripped the whole town bare
And then they went again

So now he’s singing
This machine kills fascists
Yes, he’s singing
This guitar kills fascists
So now we’re heading for the great depression of the 21st century
The clampdown’s happening
So where can we find Woody Guthrie now?

He wrote his songs of liberty
This land belongs to you and me
But not all get to have their way
If you’re poor or black you’ve got no say and
He went to war
To fight the racist state
And then he came back home
To find the same thing there....

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
