Broken promises, zero reward They sold us a lie, independence flawed The eighties were bad, well is today worse? Made to suffer from another Tory curse Eat or heat now is the choice Given the chance we wasted our voice “Manage by ourselves, it’s the British way” Watch the facts crumble until it’s too late Vote to be independent you got it all wrong You didn’t have the facts you just propped up the con 51 to 59 and it’ll be just fine Not too good beneath the poverty line Brexit barriers and Tory abuse That’s what we did with our right to choose More than just the lies on that bus Just to make the country worse was it worth the fuss? Eat or heat now is the choice Given the chance we wasted our voice “Manage by ourselves, it’s the British way” Watch the facts crumble until it’s too late Brexit barriers and Tory abuse That’s what we did with our right to choose More than just the lies on that bus Just to make the country worse was it worth the fuss? Was it worth the fuss? More than just the lies on that bus Just to make the country worse was it worth the fuss? No!

Horrific reality yet we close our eyes See it too often and become desensitised Death toll rises day after day Turn off the news channels and it all goes away Innocent people they didn’t stand a chance Lives are extinguished but we barely share a glance Children in the wrong place will never grow up Laid dead in the rubble parents stare stunned Graveyards are now rammed to the brink The stench of death is really starting to stink Makeshift morgues in any spare room The dead family’s home is now a cold tomb Innocent people they didn’t stand a chance Lives are extinguished but we barely share a glance Children in the wrong place will never grow up Laid dead in the rubble parents stare stunned No room for the dead, now everywhere is full Unexpected tragedies, could happen to you No room for the dead, now everywhere is full Unexpected tragedies, could happen to you

Cost of living riding high, They stand back and watch as we die Children, mothers, you and me Punishing rejects of society Energy prices, council tax Communities die while they make stacks Money prized from the poorest ones Snatched by our rulers in enormous sums Families stand in food bank queues It's not their fault, there's nothing they can do Lied to, conned and kicked in the shit Rejects of society, a system unfit Cost of living riding high, They stand back and watch as we die Children, mothers, you and me Punishing rejects of society Families stand in food bank queues It's not their fault, there's nothing they can do Lied to, conned and kicked in the shit Rejects of society, a system unfit The systems broken, they're the symptom [x4] The system!

Where will you be when the planes take flight? Where will you be when they leave you to fight? You know they don't care and you know they never will You know they'll exploit you for another cheap thrill Worked to death for the launching of a rocket Worked to death, for the lining of their pockets Another fucking sycophant is sucking off the rich Another lied to hustler dies in a ditch They speak like it's for us but it's strictly made for them Profiteering kills the planet but it's us that they condemn Power grows, the line goes up and you're the one who suffers Will you help your fellow man or merely blank the others? Worked to death for the launching of a rocket Worked to death, for the lining of their pockets Another self-help Instagram is sucking off the rich Another lied to hustler dies in a ditch Will we come together as we're left behind to rot? Will you turn to strength and love as they escape in yachts? The coppers enter town to keep you in your place We are facing the end of the human race Worked to death for the launching of a rocket Worked to death, for the lining of their pockets Another self-help Instagram is sucking off the rich Another lied to hustler dies in a ditch Worked To Death

So called friends always bringing me down Times I smile fade now all I do is frown Everything I did had some kind of reason Now I just can’t seem to find the purpose I think I’m going to self-destruct I can’t take it I’ve had enough Normality starts to disrupt Lessons in self-destruction You stab me in the back yet I come back for more Drink away reality until collapsed on a floor Come back next day and do it all again Self-destructive lifestyle when will it ever end? I think I’m going to self-destruct I can’t take it I’ve had enough Normality starts to disrupt Lessons in self-destruction Falling ever further into my own demise I can’t face reality do I live with all my lies? If I don’t make a change today then when? Fall short, make excuses, do it all again

about

This demo tape illustrates the creative maelstrom that tippified the early formation of RETSU, with music wirtten by Scoot (guitar) and Alex (drums) over the course of extended jamming sessions before joining forces with Beatrice (vocals) and Sam (bass) to unite their collective interest in punk rock in all it's various forms.
An amalgamation of influences such as Broken Bones, English Dogs, Rudimentary Peni and Killing Joke, these recordings are the embryonic arrangements of songs that would be subsequently be tightened up and road-worn into shape over the next year.
A little taster for the full studio LP coming later in 2024.

50% of the money made from this release will be going to charity, whilst the other 50% will be used for the upkeep of our DIY practice space
