Grand Ideas

We had grand ideas
And this city never slept, once upon a time.
But now these streetlights, they betray us.
On sidewalks where we once roamed the night.
These city walls they hold us and this hive mind controls us.
Who could ever ask for anything more?
So if you don’t ask then I won’t, but what do we say when they go
And drag us all off into war?
Are we slaves to ideals
Or can we find a beacon in the night?
And if the end of times is near,
Can I be a shadow in the light?
They’ve got us running around in these circles and I just don’t know.
Forget the forest, we can’t even see the trees and I don’t know
If I can do it anymore.

Move

It’s when they smile you know they’re lying and they’re doing it right into your face.
They’ve got spies on every corner and traps laying all over the place.
I’ve got eyes in the back of my head and they’re just telling me to move.
These old scars shine like sparks under the light of the moon.
I wish my chest could just fly open and just let this pounding heart on through.
I’ve got eyes in the back of my head and they’re just telling me to move.
They’ve got spies on every corner and they’re watching my every move.
If I’m going then I’m gone.

Over and Out

We’ve got to go. We’ve got to go. We’ve got to go. We’ve got to go.
No, I’ve got to go. You’re moving too slow. I’m sorry -
"Oh, don’t leave me alone!" - but I’ve got to go.
When bombs start falling and bodies start flying,
Well I’m sorry boys but I’m not one for dying.
Oh, these times are hard on everyone.
The death of a nation, the rise of a tyranny.
I’m sure “God is great”, but what’s in it for me?
Oh, these times will be the death of everyone.
If Church conquers State, have we reaped what we’ve sown?
And if I disagree is my mind still my own?
Oh, these thoughts will send me to an early grave.
If not for the soldiers who line all our streets,
A chaos so grand, destruction so complete.
Oh, who knew our houses would be our graves?
Will this sprawl never end? Will I not reach the limits?
These shrapnel and flames engulf everything in them.
If I lay down my head, just for a minute,
Will the world pass me by?

Stagger Through The City
03:47

Wait ‘til they all fall down and then just stagger through the city.
I can’t forget my oldest crimes, hell no they follow with me.
Every time I turn around I just see my shadow.
Footsteps in the alleyway but there’s no one there.
I’ve got my mind made up that mine doesn’t matter anymore.
I can feel my heart beating, I can feel my lungs breathing.
I can see my breath in this cold night air, but I just don’t care now.

Our Time

What lives shall always pass
So where does that leave us?
What’s built shall never last
So where does that leave us?
We’ve had our time. We’ve had our time.

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" 🌸💀🌸💀🌸

Kodi and the boys have been making incredibly deranged and out there punk from the start. Aliens, insane asylums, conspiracy theories. Such fun stuff. Gotta support this great band!

Gutsy rock & roll from this Brooklyn group bursting with hot-rodding riffs and snarling vocals, hearkening back to classic dark punk.

Taking cues from Midwestern emo and early ’10 pop punk, this Leeds, UK outfit are full of heart— not to mention hooks.

THE UNRAVELING OF PUPTHEBAND

The Canadian pop-punk band deliver their biggest-sounding album to date, rooted in full-bodied production and cheery nihilism.
