Natterers - Make Room! Make Room!
A few months ago I posted a great song by The Wurst called Soylent Green which was inspired by the old Charlton Heston movie in which the expanding population are living on a diet of something they might not enjoy as much if they knew what it was made up of.... http://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.co.uk/2016/05/the-wurst-soylent-green.html.
For today's update, I'm bringing you a song inspired by the 1966 science fiction novel Make Room! Make Room! which was written by Harry Harrison and which was the source material for Soylent Green. The song calls out the irresponsible adults who reproduce for no better reason than it's something to do and warns that Harrison's novel might not be too far away from becoming fact rather than fiction. It's a warning to take better care of our world before it's too late.
Natterers are a hardcore punk band from Yorkshire comprising of Chris (bass), Emma (shouting), John (drums) and Thomas (guitar). They recently released a demo cassette ep (limited to 100 copies) and it promises great things for this new UK band. You can get more info, or snap up a name your price digital download of the ep here : https://natterers.bandcamp.com/track/make-room-make-room
A tasty treat, this is the lead track, Make Room! Make Room!
We raped the Earth
Polluted, drained,
Depleted
Hunted, ravaged
So sorry Harry, it’s all come true!
Apple of your eye
Bane of the world
There’s too many of us
Baby baby baby baby
Breeding like flies
Selfish desire to reproduce
To fix your own broken dreams
Planet Earth doesn’t need another you
Our burning sphere
Our polluted air
Our ecocide
Our rotten history
Make room, make room!
Make room, make room!
