about

This one-take studio recording marks a shift for the band as they channel their energy into an unfiltered blend of singer-songwriter pop-rock suggestive of Pink Floyd, The Kinks, or The Pixies.

“One Street Back” plunges into the heart of contemporary culture, lamenting the fleeting nature of collective action in our society. Whether it’s the ongoing struggles of the Black Lives Matter movement or the ongoing suppression of the citizens of Hong Kong, the lyrics weave together themes of hope and disillusionment.

lyrics

[Verse]
Painting words on cardboard, we will tell them
Armed with chants and finance, we will help them
Tight inside our moral highs, we're seldom

[Chorus]
Cos' we know
Until the system's overthrown
Some-ol'-kun will get to call this home
We're complicit, and we know
Yeah, we know
While the gentry remain in control
One street back will get carved up and sold
We're complicit, and we know

[Verse]
Don't let them erase your past for present
But we're grateful for the hosing of the pavement
Yeah maybe our economy will help them...

[Chorus]
Though we know
Until the system's overthrown
Some-ol'-kun will get to call this home
We're complicit, and we know
Yeah, we know
While the gentry remain in control
One street back will get carved up and sold
We're complicit, and we know

[Refrain]
The banners come down and the rates go up
The facepaint comes off and
Facebook comes on
Our actions will fade
And our addictions endure

[Verse]
But for now we're here to solve a problem
It breaks my heart to watch while we just rob them

[Chorus]
Though we know
Until the system's overthrown
Some-ol'-kun will get to call this home
We're complicit, and we know
Yeah, we know
While the gentry remain in control
One street back will get carved up and sold
We're complicit, and we know

[Outro]
We know
We know
We know
We know
We know
We know
We know
