lyrics

If you want to be free, spread your wings, now, forever / Be yourself, no DISGUISE, noone else can do you better / Speak the truth, make it sing, every word, every letter / Show your soul, MAKE it shine, that is who they’ll see

Don’t fake your soul (REPEAT)

Live a lie, fantasise, sow the seeds for stormy weather / Build a wall, bound to fall, all your ties will be severed / Fake ID for honesty, sell your soul, the price for pleasure / Hollow smile, hurt inside, that is all we’LL see

[CHORUS]

Hey surprise! / We can see through the lies / That cloak made of bull crap's attracting the flies / And each and every word that slips your lips / Burns a hole in the hull of your sinking ship / You think you're slick, in fact you're just greasy / Dripping rotten apple hanging from a diseased tree / Please be silent, stop your LIPS jabbering / Your droopy web of lies is swiftly unravelling / You're just blathering, more hot air than a zeppelin / Hindenbergs burning bones poking out of metal skin / Your stocks plummeting, Nasdaq in the nad sack / A WITHERED puppeteer fist working a sad sack / And that's that - you fake your soul and people know / It turns them off quicker than a clicked remote control / You preen and pose in your emperors clothes / Blatantly exposed as your fakery grows

[CHORUS]

Taking influence from old school and modern funk, punk, hip hop, jazz, drum and bass, and the more recent offerings of popular music, South West based Antimatador put across high energy and a positive vibes via their 8-piece powerhouse. ... more
