So proud of the place I was born I know it’s number one My location is probably The smartest thing I’ve ever done God bless my country Shittin’ all over the world Yeah God help your country But don’t ask me Behind these lines my definition fits My pride is nothing earned My tribe begets my wisdom It requires for nothing learned As you see we are the fulcrum of refined existence Owned and operated by God, our witness And there’s just no place like home I’m so proud of my people The best kind in the world I’m so proud to be a man You know I could have been a girl So proud of the athletes Bringing victory home I’m so proud of my flag and my shirt and my hat I’m waving it high Show it respect I wave it around for lack of anything of my own Gods favorite country Shittin’ all over the world God help your country But don’t ask me Because these lines give definition They define me and my own A personal achievement is this boundary of my home And you’ll never get in They’ll never get in Everybody’s trying to get it Into my country Shittin’ all over the world

Ain’t I typical as their heads keep coming To take a hill that you’ll cede for nothing But what I can’t understand is; so high above it how you never see the land below and take in its lay What this means is You fail to see there’s a game still running A threat still coming down You won’t concede what’s now evident and right in your face They have you pushing their lines Ah these crazy ideas of mine! Gaslighters of the World Unite in surrender Gaslighters of the World Unite in surrender Your map and their map both share the same lines One won’t lead left while the other leads right But I’m pointing it out Guess I’m the divide Push Bite Reap from mine what your ego needs to survive But who gave you that scythe? Do you remember? Do you rember their name?

Hive MInd 02:15
Destruction’s alright when everybody does it The aberrant kind is “evil” Yet it wasn’t when everybody’s got a piece of the puzzle An inch of mile A hive mind Everybody makes it so easy Even when you lie It’s the same lie as others You don’t draw the lines You just stand where they huddle Light as a feather, stiff as a board Who are you to drop A hive mind Everybody makes it so easy

Summon all the demons we haven’t named Summer was a fever that never breaks A changing tide of anxious minds With a war they’ve come to wage A hasting tribe An occasion rises for all of this to cave All the true believers will quench their thirst All of the chosen people must finish first It’s a slo-mo rip in the tide It’s the soul unfit for the mind Did a God just leave it behind as if he wanted this to die Look out Winter of resistance begins to fade Father resigned to listen begins to speak Offending lines soaked in brine Until the mouth no longer tastes They’re growing tired on the picket line Now he lays them all to waste All the disinformers invent the thirst All the ugly corners are at their worst Is there someone driving the car Do they always know where you are Was it programmed right from the start whether you wanted this or not

about

Copies of this cassette EP will be placed in various Goodwills. No other retailers- just straight to the end of the line. This EP kinda clears the chamber- One song that began while recording the first EP but wasn’t finished at the time, another that wasn’t really metal enough for the second EP which was pretty metal, a couple of recently recorded tracks, and an interlude that was made during duplication when it became obvious that there was gonna be 2 minutes of empty tape between side A and B..and that that would suck. It amounts to a more crunchy hard rock, 70s-ish, kinda vibe than the last Useless, which itself had been a step in a more 80s metal direction. There’s more of a Sabbathy, “Rocks”-era Aerosmith type thread that runs through the songs here but still with the post-punk cells that are probably in the blood of any band of who puts politics and leftist social philosophy at the forefront of its identity. There’s also the fact that Useless Against eschews any sort of studio budgeting and makes records “bedroom” style (the drums here were recorded on a cassette 4-track).
As always, the two things that really matter on a Useless Against record, and the reason the band exists, are both here on this EP- lyrical subject matter that grapples witth living in the Trump era…and some sweet ass riffs.
