Barbicide "Always Again" (live at the Subway to Skaville show at Otto's Shrunken Head, 2/10/23)

ALWAYS AGAIN
(Barbicide, m/l Mikal Reich)
Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Na Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Na
Verse 1
The meek crawl out when all is still
They no longer hi-ya-yide
From under rocks in Charlottesville
Fine people on both si-ya-ides.
They dread they’ll fade,
Their screams unheard
Completely gone, without a word.
Wiped-out from all of history
No here, no there, no legacy.
We will replace you.
You will be replaced.
We will replace you.
You will be erased.
Verse 2
Like plankton in a stream of trout
There’s one thing that they fe-ya-ear.
That one day they will all die out
Their breed will dis-a-peya-ear.
Their lives, their thoughts,
Their humble ways.
Will all be gone, just like their days.
No trucks, no beer, no TNT
All erased from memory.
We will replace you.
You will be replaced.
We will replace you.
You will be erased.
Chorus
Always again
Always again
Always again
Always again
Verse 3
They try their best to stay alive
Like moths to tiki li-a-ght
Perhaps the fit will not survive,
What if Darwin wasn’t ri-ya-ight?
Like some pre cro-magnon man
Without a thumb upon his hand
No grasp of his mortality
No future for him to see
We will replace you.
You will be replaced.
We will replace you.
You will be erased.
Always again ----
(With your goose-stepping!)
Always again ----
(With your salutes!)
Always again ----
(On the road to Poland!)
Always again ----
(You’ll draw and shoot!)
Always again ----
(Nowhere to hide!)
Always again ----
(You’ll rise again!)
Always again ----
(Cancer comes back!)
Always again ----
(The strong survive!)
