Keep trying to change the world But I’ve got too much to do The bills I need to pay The shit I must accrue I’m getting dizzy Trying to grab this spinning Earth ‘Cause I was made to work From the moment of my Birth [See me] With the hope I just can’t fault But the work that paves me to asphalt In this system they exalt [See me] Screaming all the fucking time Exhausted from the climb Of this capitalist paradigm [Hear me] Because there’s got to be something more But I can’t unlock that door I’ll accept what I abhor [Hear me] Was I built to be something else? Was I built to be something else? Was I built to be something else? Should we regress to monkeys swinging in the trees? Or simply to amoebas floating in the seas? Where photosynthesis is our supermarket shop Without the need for stupid, childish, Agitprop Buy everything you need Reduce yourself to greed All these things will bring you joy Just accept what you can’t destroy Buy everything you need Reduce yourself to greed All these things will bring you joy Just accept what you can’t destroy Cogs in machines, dropping their dreams, just for the roof above their heads

A wolf between the roses No one knows if It’s meant to be A thorn plunged into paw A whine for more On TV: Are horses with divorces Are we cautious? I don’t think I care Your mother’s calling With a warning, or Is it sage advice? Hey You take bad blood away Hey Until the end of days Snow white’s under covers with her lovers There’s no apples around But snakes don’t care If there’s no one there Their tricks Don’t make a sound A new year brings A brand new king, at least For part of the world I am left to choose You hope I lose But I think I’ll win Hey You take bad blood away Hey Until the end of days Hey You take bad blood away Hey Until the end of days Hey You take bad blood away Hey Until the end of days Hey You take bad blood away Hey

My palms are out My hands have shown A certain doubt Through marks my own I’m falling again A day of rest Becomes a week This darkened guest Won’t let me speak I’m falling again Keep grinding on But hatred calls A darker dawn And higher walls I’m falling again Judgement’s just for judgments sake Can’t stop a boulder moving on It doesn’t matter what it takes With feet buried you cannot run My only hope I spent it well To try to cope To dream, to dwell I’m falling again With blood in veins And air in lungs Too tired to change Last words on tongues I’m falling again Judgement’s just for judgments sake Can’t stop a boulder moving on It doesn’t matter what it takes With feet buried you cannot run

The Silent Prophet 03:34
lyrics

Hunted down in Pixelvision The darkest shot that you’ve been given Below the streets we run the sewers Escape the system that has screwed us I am the king of the orphans The very thing you’ve been warned of I am the alpha of my pack Hair is dyed, getting high, from aurolac I tried to climb up to Mount Sinew My bones melt to slime, my muscles rot to goo I failed so break me down, and boil me into glue Impaled on my crown, a self-inflicted coup I don’t deserve your love Or the praise you give So cast me from my thrown Cure this guilt I live With Everybody’s out to get me ‘cause I’m beautiful A silent prophet, when I speak it’s fucking mystical One day I’ll round up all these kids and start a revolution We’ll parade around, the sound of pipes will join the air pollution No one escapes my judgement The right of kings will rise again And empires never fall down They never fall down They never fall down I swam in streams of liquid gold But these damn schemes that I’ve been sold They left my lonely and forced me to withhold Chasing glory while only growing old I dreamt an angel came And took me back in time I learnt from my mistakes Before I reached my prime Let education take The place of violent crime For now I’m stuck up In this fucked up Pantomime

Ageing Years 02:54
lyrics

I don’t think there’s anything wrong Than struggling with the will to move on But am I the same person now? Through actions and my upset words This victim plays a song in thirds I’m always fighting giants at night Oh ageing years Confirm my fears Oh ageing years Please say it isn’t true Our statues are not made of stone They’re made from iron and bone The never really rocked the show The metal must be melted down And given to those teens in town They always show you where to go Oh ageing years Confirm my fears Oh ageing years Please say it isn’t true Oh ageing years Confirm my fears Oh ageing years Confirm my fears Oh ageing years Oh ageing years Oh ageing years Oh ageing years

Yetzt Berlin, Germany

Yetzt are an Anglo-German band based in Berlin. Comprising of Kie Dawson, Tjorben Reimer, Felix Riedel, and Tobias Kraller, they play post-punk that’s jittery and energetic, a sound that is seemingly about to fall apart, but that never does. Formed in late 2019, Yetzt have settled on a line-up and are working towards their debut EP. ... more
