We talked about how we would level this town
Talked about how we would bring the state down
Thought we knew everything, white punks on hope
In our monochrome world we were cream of the crop
No war but class war was our rebel yell
No war but class war, I'm saying it still
So don't talk to me about change without pain
We've been here before and we'll be here again
Formed active cells with the people we knew
Worked in the dark with black widows and glue
Confronted the hunters, defied unjust laws
Smashed up the murals and sprayed up the walls
No war but class war was our rebel yell
No war but class war, I'm saying it still
Don't talk to me about love without rage
Confront with conviction and learn to engage
It’s not the end of days, not the curtain call
Give it your best shot, give it all you got
Nothing to lose, and everything to gain
We questioned all answers, resisted all wars
Took aim at the rich as we scratched up their cars
Battled with loyalists, blacklegs and cops
Sometimes got beaten and sometimes got caught
No war but class war was our rebel yell
No war but class war, I'm saying it still
So don't talk to me about change without pain
We've been here before and we'll be here again
And don't talk to me about hope without hate
You want peace and love well you'll just have to wait

I'm so tired of all this hate and sick of fighting
Seems the more I say the less communicating
All I need's a soapbox and a lonesome mountain tune
All the wonders of the wilderness to get me through
Gonna find me a gospel-singin', Godless-thinkin'
Appalachian country girl with tangles in her hair
Gonna raise some chickens, gonna raise the dead
Gonna raise some holy hell
Gonna find me a perfect little corner of the world to die
With a penny in my pocket and my darlin' clogger by my side
Gonna clawhammer crazy, tell a story of old glories
That were buried at the bottom of the deep dark blue
Gonna sing Idumea, Weeping Sinner, Holy Manna, Hallelujah
With the Satan-fearin', sacred harpin' crew
Gonna leather up my skin
And bare my sins under a blue ridge sun
Gonna make my peace with enemies
And shoot the breeze with everyone
Let it be seen, let it be known
You made your bed you better lie in it alone
Let it be seen, let it be known
You're leavin' when you could be takin' me home
I'm so tired of all this fightin', fucking sick of all this hatin'
Seems the more I say the less I can communicate
All I need is a soapbox and a high lonesome crooner
All the wonders of the wilderness to get me through the day
Gonna howl at the moon
And take a ride to the wrong end of town
Gotta tell someone you love them
Just before your body hits the ground

North of Misery
04:44

Lord he done gone and failed me now
I knew that snake would run
Like a snowball in the sun
I guess I'm not the chosen one
Bury my head deep in the sand
In the sun I hear no sound
In the rain I slide on down
Lord nail my bones to the ground
Sure he done gone and left me dead
Well I knew that dog would cheat
Chew the heels right off my feet
Leave me burnin’ in the reckless heat
Got me hooked on highs and lows
Like a preacherman profound
Like a sinnerman I'm hell-bound
Lord nail my hands to the ground
Show me north of misery
I'll walk as far as I can see
Take me to the edge of town
Western winds come howlin’ down
Oh lord, turn me around
Devil done gone and stole my soul
Been sprawled across the bed
Been wishin’ I was dead
Full of hate and fear and dread
Raise me from the pits of hell
From the hunger and the thirst
Tryin'a figure out which is worse
And lift this gutless curse
But there’s a pride down deep inside
For the women who rise above
For the men who talk of love
Wish I was strong enough
There’s a fire burns deep inside
For the haunted and the hurt
For a vengeance pure at heart
Lord nail my bones to the ground
Misery loves misery
It’s a never-ending ride
Like a brain without the storm
Like a moon without the shine
One day soon I do declare
Gonna shed this broken skin
Gonna find a peace within
And feast upon my sins

The Gentle Burn

Consider this, the gentle burn
That binds your veins and turns your blood to sand
We're laid to rest, both blessed and cursed
The road to hell is paved with righteous men
Don't you ever undermine our pain
Don't you ever mess with us again
Oh Lord alive, what have I done
Hearts of oak please guide me homeward bound
I've heard the things they lay 'pon me
I'm proud to say we're really not the same
Don't you ever weaponise our pain
Don't you ever mess with us again
Blinded by promises, diamonds and rust
There's not a fool on this earth you can trust
Blinded and branded, right down to the bone
There's not a soul who can fight this alone
There's not a soul who should bear this alone
Now hold your tongue, boy, and walk away
This is not the time to make a scene
So stay inside, girl, go home and hide, girl
No one wants to hear when you complain
Don't you ever normalise our pain
Don't you ever fuck with us again
Don't you ever undermine our pain
Don't you ever fuck with us again
