  • wine-damaged "They Serve Themselves" 7"
    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    A few years back, Gary spilled a bottle of wine into the merch box and all over a bunch of copies of "They Serve Themselves" on black vinyl. These vinyl have just been sitting in a bag up in Lev's loft since then, drying out, even after we sold out of all our other copies of the EP, because it never felt right selling something that's not in brand new condition. It's time we got rid of them one way or another, though, so if you want one you can pay what you want for them from 50p up here. The inserts may look and feel a little water-damaged and the actual vinyl may need a little wipe, but I don't see any reason why the tunes wouldn't play absolutely fine; I doubt the wine was acidic enough to melt the grooves in the record, but then it does seem to have melted the grooves in Gary's brain so you never know.
    Regardless, whatever you decide to pay for this will be taken as a donation directly towards the Minnesota Freedom Fund (minnesotafreedomfund.org) or organisations recommended by the Minnesota Freedom Fund, as will the money for anything else you buy from us today while BandCamp are waiving their fees.
    We'll send out the records we perceive to be in better condition out to people who donate more, but in all honesty if you're not the type of person who isn't picky about the sleeve being in perfect condition then every single one of these will be fine for you.

    For complete transparency, whatever you pay for postage will be used for postage (any change WILL be donated though), which is why we've dropped postage costs to NON-tracked for today to keep that cost down. In buying something from us today you accept the risk of anything getting sent getting lost in the mail, but if you want to message us to arrange tracking anyway then we'll do that. You can also still select "Afghanistan" as usual to just have a record set aside and pick it up from us at a show or whatever, whenever the hell we can have one of those again, but note that BandCamp will still add 25p for this (if anyone knows a way to do optional NO SHIPPING choices on BandCamp, let me know).

lyrics

They turn their backs on us,
They serve themselves.

A badge and a hat won't mask the black in your heart,
You're supposed to uphold justice but just don't play your part.
You should have integrity, you should earn respect,
But the country roll our eyes at those who should protect.
A loved one's missing, you'll presume they're dead
Coz you've got some parking tickets to be handing out instead.
Faced with real issues, you'll always turn your head.
You bother decent people and avoid the real threat.

The serve themselves.

We're the ones they should be there for, we're the ones they swear they care for,
But their word's as good as dirt, they're not worth shit, corruption fills their core.
The biggest cowards on planet Earth,
Flashing blue lights and yellow spines they put their own agenda first,
They serve themselves.

They serve themselves.

Always vigilant, always alert, always fulfil your quota no matter who gets hurt.
Fidelity? Bravery? Integrity? You're kidding me!
They seem to be nothing but cowardly.
They serve themselves.

There is no justice but rough justice.

Sometimes it feels like this whole world is a prison,
They watch your every move until you need them then they're missin'.
