MY CHOICE
If I could do this year over again I would have just stayed home
I never should have tried to represent myself behind a flag wearing a uniform
So I will go on foot back to the center of what's relevant to me
They can call this place whatever they'd like
I can't bring myself to leave here
Don't feel bad for me
Because I raised my hands above my head when I was threatened
And I stood for nothing and I learned no lessons
I'll never want to fight again for somebody's ideas
This place is little more than words on paper
If I could do this year over again I would have burned that government letter up
And never looked back and had plenty of food down in my cellar
For the winter and the spring and the summer and maybe into next year
But I'm alive and have the chance to start again
Richer in humility and poorer in friends by increments
Don't feel bad for me
Because I raised my hands above my head when I was threatened
And I stood for nothing and I learned no lessons
I'll never want to fight again for somebody's ideas
This place is little more than words on paper
I chose to walk away from my allegiance in a black location of a burned out territory
Made my own surrender unconditionally
Now more civil and a lot less military
The Swiss quartet's strongest release yet. Two tracks of assertive post-punk with primitive garage beats and and spaced-out synths. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 5, 2018
