Clobber - Hang Grifters Not Flags

  


  Just noticed a comment on the last update. ANGRY PUNKPOP HARMONY ROCKERS! says "Hey, what's going on? I miss your punk news updates. Please keep going!"

  This one's for you...

  Clobber (https://www.facebook.com/Clobber.uk) are a hardcore punk band from London who've previously featured on here a couple of times  https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2022/01/clobber-karens-gammons-hippies.html

  They've a new song out that not only sounds great but which features a sentiment I wholeheartedly agree with. It's not on Bandcamp as I type this out but it is on Spotify.

  Lend it your ears, it's called Hang Grifters Not Flags...

The shyster is coming in hot
And he′s armed with the word of god
Followed by his brain dead troops
To wave flags and recruit the youth
So what? He's got bad press
He needs it like a shot in the neck
Live by the sword
Die by the coin
Always another party to join
Grifter grifter wouldn′t wanna be you
Grifter grifter bury your leader
The gammons all love and trust
Whatever they read in the fucking sun
How dare you say you love this land
Then throw salutes with your right hand
Five fucking years later
And I'm still here singing about
Hanging rich cunts
When's it gonna end?
I believe I can see the future
Because we live in the fucking past
Take all your ideologues
Hang em all
At half mast
Hang (hang) hang grifters not flags
Tell (tell) tell Tommy to pack his bags
Hang (hang) hang grifters not flags
Tell (tell) tell Tommy to pack his bags
