lyrics

3, 2, 1 with a loaded gun, and my head will take the streets
With the launching codes, and a debt that’s owed, to make this mess all neat
You see a passing word and my mind hits “work”, unpacking everything a little untoward
A beat for you is a week for me, and my day is keeping score

So hit that trigger like a nuclear button
My brain shuts down and the rage comes, summoned
Take cover till the beast is gone

Give it a name to find your flaws and count them
Give it a name but it won’t solve the problem
I think I despise myself
‘Cause there is nothing else
I could be more, but I’m ever the less

A to the Z and my head agrees that the answer is more sleep
So get in the hearse, kill the light ‘cause it hurts, this is gonna take a week
I tried tuning in by naming this, my mind fought back by playing all the hits
“You’ve got no worth, no place on this earth” and “you should call it quits.”

So hit that trigger like a nuclear button
My brain shuts down and the rage comes, summoned
Take cover till the devil’s gone

Give it a name to find your flaws and count them
Give it a name but it won’t solve the problem
I think I despise myself
‘Cause there is nothing else
I could be more, but I’m ever the less

And there’s a life I try to hide
I spend my days, dreaming of a place, where me and fear can coincide
But there’s a problem with this answer
There’s no tool suitable to cut this cancer

1, 2, 3 with a quick apology that I can’t come out to play
‘Cause my weapons grade disorder said the last rites for my day
I know all the words, but not how they work, in my head there’s a beast and it feeds on the hurt
‘Cause I assumed that we were happy but I guess it never was

So hit that trigger like a nuclear button
My brain shuts down and the rage comes, summoned
Take cover till the freak is done

Give it a name to find your flaws and count them
Give it a name but it won’t solve the problem
I think I despise myself
Cause there is nothing else
I could be more, but I’m ever the less

about

Call Me Malcolm England, UK

Razor-toothed, harmony infused, delicately ferocious ska. British 5-piece Call Me Malcolm exploded onto the Ska Punk scene in 2018 with a record described by ska legends Less Than Jake as "a saving grace of the genre." Malcolm's genre blending mastery and intricate songwriting has since crafted “some of the most special, unique, ambitious music in the punk underground.” (BrooklynVegan) ... more
