about

Giving a shit about the world about you isn’t solely the preserve of the young. Whilst I’ve learnt many things in the thirty years since I was a teenager, that hasn’t changed my view that this society is fucked up and that we should do something about it.
Our society seems to be built on a foundation of greed and injustice, and the political and business establishment is clearly intent on keeping it that way - after all, it’s them that benefit from it. But so many of us don’t. So why should we meekly accept it - content to limit ourselves to the bland choices they present us with?
Why are we still angry? Because there’s so much to still be angry about.

lyrics

We may be older and more wise. We may have learned to compromise, but that doesn’t mean we’ll accept their lies because we’re still fucking angry. And we don’t think that it’s naive to have values in which to believe. Is it so hard for you to conceive that we’re still fucking angry? It really isn’t so profound when there’s injustice all around. So, even though we’re no longer in the flush of youth, this is still our truth. ANGRY. We’ve been shouting out loud now for so long against all the things that we think are wrong, but these feelings we have are still so strong. Yes, we’re still fucking angry. With so much shit going on today there’s still so much that we have to say, so don’t expect us to go away when we’re still fucking angry.
