We Will Burn

by @morti

Liner Notes

I used a lot of #distortion and the sound wave looks like a #brick. 🤘

This was fun. Vocals by @claudia. The #revolution will be crunchy.

Lyrics

You say you started out with nothing
in your parents' garage
No concerns for basic needs
Or a source of funds

What's the point in having more money than God
While millions die poor
You want a higher score

They measure their morals in dollars and cents
If they're not caught out then they won't make amends
Civilised matters are matters for courts
They'd kill for a buck without a second thought

They will never do a thing to help us (we will burn)
They are just compulsive money hoarders (we will burn)
They will use the media to divide us (we will burn)
They're a clique of callous fire-starters (we will burn)

We connected to make progress
For all of mankind
At the right place and the right time
You took us for a ride

Once you climbed to the top the wealth trickled up
You keep us running the rat race
You can stay in space

If life is a numbers game surely it's best
If one person dies to save all of the rest
They kill the planet with their private jets
I'd rot in my prison cell with no regrets

They will never do a thing to help us (we will burn)
They are just compulsive money hoarders (we will burn)
They will use the media to divide us (we will burn)
They are a clique of callous fire-starters (we will burn)

They will never do a thing to help us (we will burn)
They are just compulsive money hoarders (we will burn)
They will use the media to divide us (we will burn)
They are a clique of callous fire-starters (we will burn)

This is such a great protest song in the real root of punk I really love that Tempo change and the energy that it brings to the overall song. I feel like I should have been wearing leather and buckles while listening to this piece! Lines like " they are a clique of callus fire starters" are so visual to me. This is a solid Punk song and I'm really glad that I listened to it. #tit4tat

Wow, this soundscape is great... somehow takes me to the early 90s and trackers... really not sure why and if that picture even makes any sense. Good work! #tit4tat

Loving that distortion. Great guitar licks. Great surprise with the total switch in time signature, too.

Nicely driven ✊ ... and the triplet change-up is great, I shall steal that for next year! [With a shout out to #tit4tat for leading me down paths I wouldn't otherwise tread.]

I like the feedbacky phrase endings in the openings. Frantic drums create an exciting backdrop for the time changes. I like the conspiracy theory lyric very angry - the delivery is great props to Claudia for fitting all those words in! A metal prog frenzy that is great fun! #Tit4tat

One of my favorite lyrical genres, and a headbanging backing track. The main guitar riff is ace and has that early heavy metal spirit. Greatly enjoyed.

I love the smell of crunchy punk in the morning - viva la revolution!

Oh yeah! This is ace! I mean, subject matter is immensely depressing, because it's true! I kind of like that the lead guitar on the verses has a bit of an 8 bit computer vibe to it; it works with how those money-hoarders see the world as their own little game. The time signature change for the pre-chorus is my favourite bit. Fab work, you two!

This is fun, what with all the distortion and changes in speed and decent amount of crunch.
