Kicked out, knocked down, laid out
That’s the way it’s gonna be
Chewed up, broke down, spit out
That’s the way it’s gonna be
They’ll make you break before you bend
They’ll break you down until the very end
Blown out, worn down, checked out
That’s the way it’s gonna be
Fed up, shut down, cast out
That’s the way it’s gonna be
They’ll try to hold you until you drown
They’ll never know that you’ll just pull them down
Through their disdain, the song remains the same
We’ll stand unmoved as we put them in the ground
These dying souls, they think they have a name
We’ll drag them out, we’ll tear the bastards down
Heady hardcore punk from Black Aubergine has groove, heft, and an experimental edge percolating behind the blown-out surface. Bandcamp New & Notable May 23, 2023
