I’ve been singing every word to thing song since I was in elementary school. I would spend hours listening to it while reading the lyrics. I live the trumpet or trombone at the end that signals naive hope despite the entirety of the song and the lyrics at the end signifying defeat.


More folk punk than NOFX, but They can’t kill us all by Apes of the State is so good. Angry, sad, and hopeful. Like Twisted Sister, but with more mutual aid. Or Final countdown cabaret style. Like if the riders of the apocalypse had kazoos.
That’s a little too, mmmmm, light for my taste. I need something with an edge.
