What's worse, glutton or cruelty? What if they were the same thing? They are the same thing. So what's worse? You want our money, we want your blood Landlords on crosses, drown in the flood Red rings of roses They all fall down Streets lined with black flags Cash, take a bow What's worse, glutton or cruelty? What if they were the same thing? They are the same thing. So what's worse? They'll take the youth clubs, knock down the walls Build 50 houses that no one can afford They'll buy the forests They'll strip them bare 'Luxury' is relative There's nothing here What's worse, glutton or cruelty? What if they were the same thing? They are the same thing. So what's worse? We won't make this mistake again Your god is well and truly dead We won't do this again

Work all your life for something That you'll never be allowed to reach When you find it amounts to nothing A lesson learned, too late to teach If you don't break the endless cycle Then your children will be next Because when the system's rigged against us If you don't fight, it'll cost your neck Not giving up or burned out I still have hope But I won't lie to myself We can't stay, but we'll never get away Stuck digging our own graves to live And if work doesn't pay, then we'll find another way Because we haven't got a fuck to give The worst is over now So back to work Back the pub Back to school Back to church I hope we realise we've been sold a fucking lie About countless avoidable tragedies at the cost of countless lives We can't stay, but we'll never get away Stuck digging our own graves to live And if work doesn't pay, then we'll find another way Because we haven't got a fuck to give I won't lie to myself

about

Written and recorded in total isolation from one another. We are all between 100 and 300 miles away from one another, so recorded each of our parts in our own homes, and Em mixed and mastered it. The accompanying photo zine features photos by Megan Rose and the lyrics to the songs on the record.

Drums by Jack Kenny in Northumberland
Bass by Lucinda Livingstone in West Yorkshire
Keys by Paul Terris in Hertfordshire
Guitar and vocals by Em Foster in Kent
