Squad 69 - 'Breed For Freedom'
"Smells like true flea-pit punk rock spirit. Firing on all glam-metal-punk cylinders, this Taunton five-piece take you on a manic roller-coaster ride into territory best described as heavy and unhinged."

Breed for Freedom - Lyrics

 Too damn stupid and I’m too damn brave

I’ll be sleeping with the fishes if I don’t behave

It’s all so terrible, of course I’m scared

I’d be lying if I said I saw the problem there.

Who cares? Who dares stand up to ugliness?

The economic sanctions of the courts should you protest

Who lies? You and I have put us in this place

A better world is possible, now breed for freedom, don’t give up on the Race.

It’s much more habit than it used to be

No one else is gonna then it starts with me

It’s not about politics or colour or nation

Now Hell’s so full it’s not about salvation

No peace, no relief, there’s always something worse

The bitter hearted selfishness with which all men are cursed

No shit, this is it, no sense in keeping face

No retreat and no surrender, breed for freedom, don’t give up on the Race.

 It’s our responsibility to teach our kids

All about the bastards they’ll be saddled with

We’ve got nothing we’ve not asked for

From the suicide bombers to the Third World War

Can’t feed ‘em? Just breed ‘em, we’ll get by somehow

It’s not like heroes never came from slums and shanty towns

We’re put on Earth to replicate and multiply in space

Spreading through the constellations, breed for freedom, don’t give up on the Race.
