lyrics

Sunset over Sumer
and the proto-working class
with spirit in captivity
so raise your beveled rim glass
escape tonight from the city-state
on each canal and every channel

jugs of wine and bowls of beer
we'll be drinking
flipping off the ziggurat
and bovver's what we're thinking
lookin' smart lookin' sharp
lookin' for a fight now
if you're working for the ensi
we're stomping on your cuneiform

drunk on sour gruel
sumerian skin glistening
from the tigris to the euphrates
but a night stomping
to the proper sound of lyres
is just a night of respite
from slavery to empire

but you stand strong
strong and proud

DEMO #1
by The Stance

supported by 4 fans who also own “Spirit Of 3069 BC”

So Im not sure how this band got past me,but Im glad I finally took a peak at how they sound. Great Oi/ Punk from another top notch Boston band. Harsh and angry ( in all the besy ways) this band knocks it outta the park. The price for this offering and the " Tape 2" make picking up The Stance's stuff a no-brainer. File this im Badass Boston Oi to wreck shit by!" East Bay Working Class
