about

Full electric version to follow.

There's a burning in my chest
And a pounding in my ears
For all the bloodshot eyes
Raised through streaming tears
For all the covered faces
And all the swallowed fears
The signs, voices, fists all raised
She who prevails is she who hears

Still stunted boys in the schoolyard
Cussing and throwing stones
Only now they're splitting our heads
Cracking and gnawing on our bones
Back at the sty it's a badge of honor
To silence voices, pleas, and moans
But hey, now your fucking mask is off
Right here, in front of these phones

Peace for some is of mind and averted eyes
But the peace we demand is of body and of life
Out from under the thumb
Under the knee
Under the despots
In the burning streets

Life, Liberty, and Happiness
Are all dying in the street
While some of those among us
Just wish they could go out to eat
"They're not helping their cause"
Our brunchers intone over cured meat
"And they're really only destroying
Their own community"

There's a burning in my chest
And a pounding in my ears
I can't breathe
I can't breathe

Parade Chic's dizzying sophomore album, Exquisite Malaise, is out now. ... more
