lyrics

You said you’re in the army, it meant something
Welcomed back as heroes, they promised you everything
By the next day, the mayor has gone
You realise that the fight has just begun

Now you are a burden, a parasite
If you want the help then you’ve gotta fight
So where is the Mayor now?
And where are the crowds
Who once made you stand tall and proud
Who once made you feel tall and proud

They watched you on your knees
Living on Meds for PTSD
They let you be ignored
A medal means shit when you’re sleeping on cardboard
Sleeping on cardboard

A life in the army, trained to kill
If the enemy doesn’t get you, the system will
You gave them your life and they let you down
And now you’re on the streets of your boyhood hometown

Everyday’s a battle you never win
Army or civilian it’s both the same
So rest in peace but live in pain
You’ll never want to come back here again
You’ll never want to come back here again

Your name’s on the system, your name’s in a queue
Your name’s on a form, we’ll get back to you
Just don’t call again cos we’re understaffed
And if you think we care then you’re having a laugh

‘Outvoted By Robots’ - the trio’s debut EP captures all of the above in the four songs contained within.
Musically, MC16 are a short sharp shock of classic punk rock - a whirlwind of snarl and bite, mixed with a ragged melody and street-wise energies. ... more
