A classic song covered today. Zounds are an British Anarcho-Punk band who were formed in Reading in 1977. Taking their name from a William Shakespeare blasphemous oath which referred to the crucifixion wounds of Christ, they split in 1982 but as with many of the early punk bands they're reformed and still active. Their debut release was 1980's Can't Cheat Karma ep which was on Crass Records and featured the tracks War, Subvert and Can't Cheat Karma.
A cover of the title track of that ep has just appeared on Dead End which is the debut album by Huntington Beach, California's Rats In The Wall. Featuring former F-Minus and Leftover Crack vocalist/guitarist Brad Logan on guitar, Eva Hall on vocals, Mike Westcoe on bass and Donny Morris on drums they're definitely worth checking out.
A slice of original English punk rock that's still as relevant today, this is Can't Cheat Karma.....
One, two, three, go
I've got an ego
It won't let me go
And what am I gonna do?

Paranoia's killing me
I'm dying on my aching feet
What a way to go
Paranoia's killing me
I'm dying on my aching feet
What a way to go
Roll up, roll up
People always stroll up
Say, "Why don't you grow up?"
No, thank you
People always stroll up
Say, "Why don't you grow up?"
No, thank you
Big cats, small cats
Some cats are fat cats
Those cats are bad cats
What we gonna do?

There's an awful lot of people in the world today
There's an awful lot of trouble on the streets these days
And it doesn't seem to matter what you do or say
If a change is gonna happen, got to help it on its way
There's an awful lot of trouble on the streets these days
And it doesn't seem to matter what you do or say
If a change is gonna happen, got to help it on its way
A change is gonna come before too long, I know
Peace has gotta come along, could be wrong, I know
But I just don't know what I can do
Peace has gotta come along, could be wrong, I know
But I just don't know what I can do
You don't trust me and I don't trust you
I bet you wish you did and I know I do
Why have you got secrets? 'Cause I know you have
If you've got something to hide then it must be bad
I bet you wish you did and I know I do
Why have you got secrets? 'Cause I know you have
If you've got something to hide then it must be bad
A change is gonna come before too long, I know
Peace has gotta come along, could be wrong, I know
But I just don't know what I can do
Peace has gotta come along, could be wrong, I know
But I just don't know what I can do
You don't trust me and I don't trust you
I bet you wish you did and I know I do
Why have you got secrets? 'Cause I know you have
If you've got something to hide then it must be bad
I bet you wish you did and I know I do
Why have you got secrets? 'Cause I know you have
If you've got something to hide then it must be bad
A change is gonna come before too long, I know
Peace has gotta come along, could be wrong, I know
But I just don't know what I can do
Peace has gotta come along, could be wrong, I know
But I just don't know what I can do
