lyrics

Feedback from the satellites, it's all just a cycling hummmm
Loops of palatable plastic waste: chewing digital bubble-gum
Don't stop running when you hear it coming, we've gotta keep us on the move
The steel wheel's turning as the flags are burnin' and we've got nothing to prove
Nothing to prove!

Hey! We're doing fine
Down here rockin' all the time
With a word and a beat and 600 watts a strumming,
From the underground you can hear the train a comin', yeah!

A manifesto issued forth today from the disautomatik brigade
It said "Gone are the days of the streets of romance and the safe, safe, censored airwaves
We kick our radios off the bridge tonight, we steal our music back from the sky
We mash-up, trash-up, love like we love, 'cause we're taking our own piece of the pie!
And there ain't no "why?"

Hey! We're doing fine
Down here rockin' all the time
With a word and a beat and 600 watts a strumming,
From the underground you can hear the train a comin' miles away!

Exclaim!

Hey! We're doing fine
Down here rockin' all the time
With a word and a beat and 600 watts strumming,
From the underground you can hear the train a comin' miles away!
Yeah! We're doing fine
Roots radicals rockin' all of the time
With a word and a beat and 20 strings strumming
In the underground you can always hear it coming! Yeah!

We're doing fine!
We don't mind!
We'll be just fine!
When the industry dies!
Let it die!
Let it die!
Let it die!
Let it die!

about

The Martyr Index Calgary, Alberta

The Martyr Index is your favourite fist-in-the-air, banner-flying, ol' dirty pinko rock and roll band, hailing from Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Surrounded by the opulence of what could be considered the Bahrain of North America, they are exactly the kind of contradiction that you would expect from a quasi-anarchist discourse feeding off the fruits of unrepentant frontier capitalism. ... more
