Stanton's Grave - A New Hope

about
This was originally written at the end of 2008 during the crazy hype over the US elections, but it pretty much holds true in any case - don't believe the hype: the new guy will be just as much of a dick as the old guy.
Just take a look back over Mr. Obama's record: have you noticed any massive changes? Me neither.

lyrics
Verse 1:
We’ve been dragged through hell
For the last eight years.
Now we finally see a light in the distance.
We just have to hope and pray
That it’s not the light of a thermonuclear explosion on the way.
Chorus:
The whole world’s waiting for a bright new day.
Hoping a new regime will bring a radical change.
Well I hesitate to use an old cliché,
But the more things change, the more they stay the same.
Verse 2:
We’re told that we can hope
For change we can believe in,
But empty words can promise you the world.
We have to hold on tight
To the scepticism we’ve all developed while we’ve languished here in hell.
We’ve been dragged through hell
For the last eight years.
Now we finally see a light in the distance.
We just have to hope and pray
That it’s not the light of a thermonuclear explosion on the way.
Chorus:
The whole world’s waiting for a bright new day.
Hoping a new regime will bring a radical change.
Well I hesitate to use an old cliché,
But the more things change, the more they stay the same.
Verse 2:
We’re told that we can hope
For change we can believe in,
But empty words can promise you the world.
We have to hold on tight
To the scepticism we’ve all developed while we’ve languished here in hell.

The Language Of Injury
by IthacaOn their debut record, the London hardcore upstarts cross-up mosh-ready fare with melancholic ambient passages, weeping guitars, and virtuosic vocal harmonies, but its romantic veneer is much more complicated than it seems.

Taking cues from Midwestern emo and early ’10 pop punk, this Leeds, UK outfit are full of heart— not to mention hooks.
