Can it still be said that you can't keep a good man down?
When he's been beaten black and blue and dragged down underground
He works his life to build a place to call his own
And then his world gets ripped apart by the clowns who are in control
Too many times we’ve watched the blood run through their hands
We watched the faces fade and fall
Torn lives of workers that they’ll never understand
They build us up just to take it all, but we’re still holding strong
Life's what you make or at least that's what they say
But he can't stand on his feet when he gets pummeled everyday
Beat down again, well it's time to draw a line
Conquer what's in front of you because the cowards have no spine
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
