    Nice new T-shirts in black, with white logo. I am wearing it was I write this currently, and it is both comfortable, and lovely.

    Look at the picture of our very own bass supremo Mark Gatland, now looking up to 5% more irresistible in the ground-breaking white on black colour scheme. Classic yet contemporary, this T-shirt is destined to go down in fashion history as an obscure band T-shirt.

lyrics

You tell me this never happened
I was there I heard the voices
We're supposed to pretend to forget, but refuse to disappear

A repeated lie becomes history
Search your mind to find a true memory
Memory solves the prisoner's dilema
Forgiveness tames the world

Liars accuse, fake news, fake camoflage
Throw enough till it sticks though it stinks
It's all a game for someone like you

Smear and shame, play the blame game, fan the flames
Higher and higher, this is their kind of fire
And it will burn us all down

When we forget about history
When we hide behind lies
When resistance is necessary
Stand up
When we airbrush our memories
When we staple our smiles
When forgiveness is necessary
Stand up

When the painted us as traitors
I almost let myself down
Surrender tempting, simple end, outsource morality
Losing track of what I'm meant to forget
Post-truth, rationality post-hoc
Poster boys deployed with their cheat sheets
Hot shot faces, scripted gravity

When no-one stands, till someone else stands
We're all complicit
Stand first, stand fast, set the precedent
There's a future still unwritten
No destiny only choice
The world is ours for the making, breaking open the shell
And unlock the voice
