lyrics
Wake up every morning, go to wok, come home.
Walk the roads like circuit boards, each and every day.
Walk when the green man shows, stop when the red man says.
Are you still breathing under that shell, forget what we are.
Animals weighed down in wires and galvanised in metal.
Packed on public transport, no one wants to talk.
Go home to be programmed by the programmes on the box.
Five days to the grind, two to help you try and find,
the little pieces that are left of your life, freedoms not free it comes at a price.
Are you still breathing under that shell, forget what we are.
Animals weighed down in wires and galvanised in metal.
This what you have to buy, this is what you have to wear,
these are the programmes that you watch, this is how to do your hair.
This is when to march to war, this is when you have to follow, these are the lives that we are fed and they tell you when to swallow.
Are you still breathing under that shell, forget what we are.
Animals weighed down in wire and galvanised in metal

The Sparrowhawk Orkestrel recommends:
-
This is one of the best albums of last year in our opinion. Heavy guitars, big riffs, strange time signatures and tuning. Its great.
go to album -
Fat Goth are close friends of ours and totally rock. Huge influence where we're from. Incredible musicianship and dark, dark lyrical content. See them live for full effect.
go to album -
Huge math rock band. So, so good and with a mammoth sound.
