lyrics
They sing its praises,they still buy in
they build your stadiums with a tax upon your sin
they call you foodies,they sell your art
they do it all with cowardice and hands on hearts
welcome to the city of Cleveland,where you don't have to grow up
everyone's too broke to leave but no one shuts the fuck up
we've even got school shooters and St. Patrick's Day parades
never mind those freight trains hauling union jobs away
You'll never get,you'll never get away
spend half your life wondering why you stay
we're slowly sinking,we're slowly sinking away
in this factory of sadness that's our grave
Come see our lakefront,it's dry and bare
the 'sleeping giant' still ain't getting anywhere
but hey,there's food trucks and film fests too
and Cleveland City Schools house a world-renowned zoo
Don't get me started on our sports teams,they still haven't won shit
I stopped caring when Albert left town
and they're still sucking left hind tit
Drive down East 55th street,the vendors sell quality crack
Ford and Republic Steel are gone and they ain't never coming back
You'll never get,you'll never get away
spend half your life wondering why you stay
we're slowly sinking,we're slowly sinking away
in this factory of sadness that's our grave
UK82-inspired hardcore punk from Christchurch, New Zealand, gruff and fast and economical and, of course, righteously pissed. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 16, 2020
Dead Cross, Retox, and Qui members dish out subversive hardcore with an indignant smirk; come for the riffs, stay for the synth experiments. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 31, 2024
