This town on fire represents me

from At night I still sneak out (2007​-​2014) by Jonas Selander

about

Recorded on a camera by the great Chris Burrows (Asking For It, The Anorexic Olsen Twin, This Is A Robbery!) while he stayed with us for a couple of days back in 2008 and we played songs for each other. Thanks Chris for being so awesome.

lyrics

A E D E, A E D..... E

A E D E
I'm gonna need a job for the summer
maybe at the bank
I'm gonna need a fucking gun for the summer
at the same fucking bank!

D E A F#m, D E A....
But why bother when the sun is shining?
I get along fine on shoplifted beer and borrowed weed
and there's a parkbench to sleep on when I succeed

A E D E
You talk about class-solidarity and you talk like a book
I don't wanna hold hands with fucking bank employees,
racists or cops

D E A F#m, D E A
And sometimes I think that the whole movement is just being me
and the only class war that I fight is me being out of money
My ideology is simply hate
and the only thing that represents me is a molotov
in the rich man's face
