about

Obligatory political punk song with a healthy dash of psychedelic.

lyrics

Democracy is Dead

(Hey!)
(Hey!)
(Hey!)
(Hey!)

Pikey's on the move
Looks like he needs a new suit
Oh woe woe woe is me
Nobody came to my pity party

I once saw him pissing on a milk carton with a missing child on it

(Hey!)
(Hey!)
(Hey!)
(Hey!)

My swiss banker is a red cross nurse
Nobody gets hurt
Pockets full of dirt
My swiss banker is a man on the hill
He gives me what I want because it's power that I want

I once saw him pissing on a milk carton with a missing child on it

Give me one good reason
Give me one good reason
Not to elope

He is such a good man
He is such a good man
Even lets me vote

I don't wanna know
Please don't let me know

Mr. Philanthropy
Has a monopoly
On our homes, our schools, my children and my spouses
On my own depression, he's swingin' for the fences

I once saw him pissing on a milk carton with his own child on it

Give me one good reason
Give me one good reason
Not to elope

He is such a good man
He is such a good man
Even lets me vote

I don't wanna know
Please don't let me know
Oh no

Mary Shelley Brooklyn, New York

Punk music you can dance to. That’s what you get from the genre-hopping, instrument-swapping members of Mary Shelley. Post- punk rhythms are imbued with elements of dance/disco beats, shoegaze, hip-hop and more, while influences stretch across generations, sounds and styles. Always, the electric 4-piece scraps rules in favor of creative impulse, ensuring each new song sounds nothing like the last. ... more
