Failed Teachers - All Jobs Are Bastards

   

  So what's caught my eye (or ear) today? 

  That would be a new album by Swiss duo Failed Teachers (https://www.facebook.com/failedteachers).

  I'd not come across them before but they've been around since 2001 when "two failed teachers hit Swiss shopping streets with a toy drum kit, battery amp and wild punk “lessons”, earning a reputation as mostly dangerous but always educational." Now "in 2026, the world is completely fucked and satire is dead, but Failed Teachers are back with anthems that make any stadium crowd switch sides, raw rage-soaked hardcore rippers and flute parts played by TV celebrities."

  The album is titled We Hate Everything You Adore and it's packed with catchy, fun ditties. You can check it out here : https://failedteachers.bandcamp.com/album/we-hate-everything-you-adore

  Lots of highlights to choose from so I'll play Antifa-Fa-Fantasy on this week's show and for the blog I'll go with All Jobs Are Bastards...

A - J - A - B I know they rip me off and I’ve got to bow my knee Clocking in at 8 o’clock, let ’em put those chains on me They call it deadline — I know exactly what it means Eight hours, suicidal dreams All jobs are bastards — can’t you see? (Lay down all your tools) All jobs are bastards — can’t you see? (Wage labour is for fools) All jobs are bastards — all jobs are bastards All jobs are bastards — can’t you see? Doesn't matter where you stand — you're up against the wall Woodworker, manager or packer at a mall I walk like a soldier, like a coffee-drinking jerk I am not me when I’m at work A - J - A - B All jobs are bastards — can’t you see? (Let’s go back to bed) All jobs are bastards — can’t you see? (The working class is dead) All jobs are bastards — all jobs are bastards All jobs are bastards — can’t you see? A - J - A - B
