Story Behind The Song

The Earth is being rendered completely unfit for human habitation, and people won't even recycle their blood y rubbish.

Song Description

"'Nobody Is Innocent' is clattering drumbeats, a bass n’ guitar riff The Stooges would die for and the don’t-give-a-fuck vocals of Edel. Why the FUCK would ANYONE buy a Starsailor or Travis single when they could buy THIS?" - Nik Moore playlouder.com

Lyrics

NOBODY IS INNOCENT

You don't know nothing, I'll tell you something
Why do good people let bad things happen?
There's a reason, takes some believing,
It's to do with separation of Good and Evil

There's no Them, no Us, we're all on the same bus
Pissing in the same pool as all the other fools
We're all to blame
We're all beat, all dead, it's just nobody told us yet
In it up to our necks, Nobody is innocent
We're all the same

You wanna try it, you're gonna buy it,
Let the shrink wrap boil in the landfill, waiting
For the product, to come and join it
Time bomb ticking while you're masturbating

For all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God. *

Wake up and smell it, they're gonna sell it
You can't start crying when you find out how it's done
With your blessing, you never guessing
A childs' slave labour from the barrel of a gun.
