Police Bastard – “It’s Good To Hate” CD distributed by Cargo

Police Bastard - "It's Good To HATE" distributed by Cargo - October 6th 2014 “Police Bastard – ‘It’s Good To Hate’ CD and DVD Four new tracks and one cover here and its typical Police Bastard…powerful, inspiring, hardcore punk with passionate vocals (incidentally, when did Stu-Pid grow up and come just plain ‘Pid’?!). If any changes are noticeable since their original incarnation, then it’s probably a bit more metal influenced, with the occasional guitar screech and more Doom-esque growls of anguish, but apart from that its good as ever and especially that ‘Pid’ is back on vocals. The cover is The Mob’s ‘I Wish’ which, after the gentle intro, gets the…

Clouds Of Dust

Bush to the left of them Blair to the right Into the valley of death   Drove the 5,000 In a great cloud of dust Into the jaws of Hell   "There's not to reason Or ask of them why There's is to do and to die"   After all that has gone There's no turning back For a Suicidal Cavalry Attack   Who wants to be the last one to die? In a war that already is lost Who wants to be the last one to die? In a war that doesn't exist   Two steps forward Then three steps back For a line that was drawn on a map…

Captain Of My Soul

I am the Captain of my soul I am the master of my fate And I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming home   They'll send you to hell, with a habit of mind They'll make you a monster, with a habit of mind They'll force you to stand, it's a habit of mind And the sound of the shot, is just a habit of mind   They'll put you away, with a habit of mind The sleight of the hand, is a habit of mind They'll say that you're crazy, with a habit of mind They'll burn you alive, with a habit of mind   They'll keep you awake with a…

Leper Colony

Open the gate to the Leper Colony To a catalogue of quarantined ideas Where the one eyed madmen are imprisoned by the blind To the open sore beneath a concrete sky   Open the gate Open the gate Open the gate to the last Leper Colony   Open the gate to the place of all lost causes To the death of dreams, to the road that goes nowhere To the drone of traffic passing by outside And the rubbish sacks melting in the sun   Open the gate to the last Leper Colony Open the gate to the last Leper Colony Open the gate to the last Leper Colony Open the…

Make it stop The fucking walls The fucking walls   The fucking walls They keep us in No one is free You're one of them I hear the voice Inside my head The fucking walls The fucking walls   We're fucking lost The dead walk They know your name And your address They turn you cold With Loneliness The fucking walls The fucking walls   Words by Mark from Last Under The Sun

The Devil's Masquerade

In the darkness of street light I can see in infra red I can feel a million insect wings Beating in my head "Don't believe the human eye In sunlight or in shade This shadow show of sight and sense Is a Devil's Masquerade"   When there's nothing but hell to pay Know that no one will speak to you Their friendship is a lie To them you're another fool As you watch you life go by Do anything you want You can't take the money with you It's a Devil's Masquerade   Hand over Hand as you climb under the sky Here no one can see you, or try to…

Kill Generation

Hand them a mobile to say their goodbyes To their loved ones at home that they're leaving behind Force them to fight for a line in the sand A "Kill Generation" with a gun in their hand   War Crime, War Crime It started with a handshake But now you're on fire   No god can give you unquestionable rights Belief is no basis for intelligent life A guilt ridden grin showing white rotten teeth A War of attrition fed by greed and deceipt   War Crime, War Crime It started with a handshake But now you're on fire   Kill Generation Kill Generation Kill Generation   You sold our sons…
