The Fallout – Same Old Shit And Some New Shit

The Fallout will be releasing a digital EP very shortly!

Here’s something to hold you over until the EP drops.  The song “Same Old Shit”was written by bass player Patty O’Lantern many years ago whilst he was a member of The Embarrassments. It was inspired, says Patty, “by Basquiat artwork. I wrote it just after Bush won his 2nd term.”

THE FALLOUT – SAME OLD SHIT
… footage: anti-bush demo / halifax, nova scotia, canada / 2004 …

Politics and a crucifix the same fight we always had
Blood runs as thick as oil but these days it’s twice as fast
Hatred spills in off the streets and it’s filtered in through glass
And all that remains is this price tag on our backs

It’s the same old shit

Everybody’s got a price and it’s quickly going down
We’re all just dollar signs so we’d better cash out now
In this razor wire playpen we can have fun within bounds
Don’t pick us up we’re in love with falling down

It’s the same old shit

Politics and a crucifix the same fight we always had
Blood runs as thick as oil but these days it’s twice as fast
In this razor wire playpen we can have fun within bounds
Don’t pick us up we’re in love with falling down

It’s the same old shit
