about

Written in the aftermath of December 2019's bitter, shameful and not a little embarrassing General Election, 'They Want Us To Die' is a three-minute explosion of rampaging garage-punk that sees band members hurling invective at political polarisation, the DWP's victimisation of vulnerable people, the underfunding and dismantling of the NHS, homelessness, the gender pay gap, illegal wars, the lie of austerity, the media's complicity in spreading misinformation, the rise of nationalism and xenophobia, and weaponised false nostalgia.

The track has been given horrific new resonance by the current health emergency - to which the UK Government's preferred course of action was to allow the old and vulnerable to die in order to protect the economy, until public outcry forced a change of course.

'They Want Us To Die' was written and performed collaboratively by Tundra with Gaffa Tape Sandy, B.U.H, Kulk and Seymour Quigley (Horse Party/Miss Black America), and recorded by Jamie Robertson (Sun Scream/Bad Stone).

lyrics

THEY WANT US TO DIE
A discordant nation with no direction 
Led by donkeys, led by mules 
Disunity in our Kingdom 
Where the media has you fooled 
They'll dismantle our health system 
Sell it slowly piece by piece 
They'll declare you fit for work but 
We're dropping dead at the JCP

They want us to die

Mind the people who sleep on the pavements 
Mind the gaps in the unequal payments 
Mind the people who want us to die 
They’ll send us to war in the blink of an eye 
Mind the people, they’re angry at what’s not been given
The people who suffer without recognition 
They’ll leave us for dead in austerity ditches 
So love all your family and take back your riches

They want us to die

“Start acting your age 
‘Cause back in my day
Now there’s nothing you can do, 
I’m stuck in my ways
Unelected bureaucrats, 47 years...”
Your opinion’s not fact
I don’t want none of that
I don’t want none of that

They want us to die
