Throwing Stones Ain't No Rocket Science
from The Dawn Chorus by Despite Everything
lyrics
Second before the impact
I’ll be casting stones like rockets
Bound to hit me right back
To wake me up, to wake me up
Given the chance I’d smash my head on this wall
But with my hands tied, I wish for freedom
With a rope tied to my neck I crave for life
Second before the impact
I’ll be casting stones like rockets
Bound to hit me right back
To wake me up, to wake me up
With my hands tied, my eyes bloodshot red
I feel the anger swelling up inside me
I push and pull, try to reach out
I feel there's nothing left to say
I’ll be casting stones like rockets
Bound to hit me right back
To wake me up, to wake me up
Given the chance I’d smash my head on this wall
But with my hands tied, I wish for freedom
With a rope tied to my neck I crave for life
Second before the impact
I’ll be casting stones like rockets
Bound to hit me right back
To wake me up, to wake me up
With my hands tied, my eyes bloodshot red
I feel the anger swelling up inside me
I push and pull, try to reach out
I feel there's nothing left to say

I love it. Have to agree with still bummed: this packs an emotional punch but rocks hard. I've played this whole album repeatedly over the last week which is unusual for me. Exhilarating, poignant, intelligent, melodic.

Iron Chic's narrative, some of the most aware & conscientious lyrics you will find in punk. The music is just as damn good... "There's no answers, so take a guess & make up the rest" "I couldn't stand to watch you die, so I died first, that's how I survived" 🌸💀🌸💀🌸
