The Fallout - Same Old Shit

  

  Biden Wins Presidency, Ending Four Tumultuous Years Under Trump 

  That was the headline from the New York Times and was followed with... Joseph R. Biden Jr. achieved victory offering a message of healing and unity.

  So Donald Trump will be leaving the White House (no doubt kicking and screaming) but will things change. In the opinion of Toronto punks The Fallout (https://www.facebook.com/TheFalloutToronto/), probably not. There's a new sheriff in town but he's very much a part of the old order. 

  They've just released an updated version of a song which was written by bass player Patty O'Lantern many years ago whilst he was a member of The Embarrassments. It was inspired "by Basquiat artwork. I wrote it just after Bush won his 2nd term." 

  You can get the song, name your price, here : https://thefalloutcanada.bandcamp.com/track/same-old-shit 

  This is Same Old Shit...

Politics and a crucifix the same fight we always had
Blood runs as thick as oil but these days it's twice as fast
Hatred spills in off the streets and it's filtered in through glass
And all that remains is this price tag on our backs

It's the same old shit

Everybody's got a price and it's quickly going down
We're all just dollar signs so we'd better cash out now
In this razor wire playpen we can have fun within bounds
Don't pick us up we're in love with falling down

It's the same old shit

Politics and a crucifix the same fight we always had
Blood runs as thick as oil but these days it's twice as fast
In this razor wire playpen we can have fun within bounds
Don't pick us up we're in love with falling down

It's the same old shit
