lyrics
Here is where we called our dear old Zim
Here is where the sun it used to shine
Then the Old Man sat down upon his throne
And the world left us behind
It's a petty operation
To disenfranchise all the land
Try to restore "nationalism"
And forget the common man
And the burned out slums that are bordering your home
Are a tell-tale sign of what your tyranny has done
So cut your losses, leave these people that you've broken
Cuz if you would only listen you would know they've already spoken
Forever hold your shattered peace
Oh victims of the Old Man's keep
Well no one likes a critic
When his reviews all dissapoint
But when you go and bomb his building
You think he just might have a point?
And the truth Old Man is that you don't give a damn
As long as television crews can't tape your dying land
So lie to all the cameras, redirect the blame
Cuz God knows you've gone too far to clear you bloodied name
Forever hold your shattered peace
Oh victims of the Old Man's keep
Here is where the sun it used to shine
Then the Old Man sat down upon his throne
And the world left us behind
It's a petty operation
To disenfranchise all the land
Try to restore "nationalism"
And forget the common man
And the burned out slums that are bordering your home
Are a tell-tale sign of what your tyranny has done
So cut your losses, leave these people that you've broken
Cuz if you would only listen you would know they've already spoken
Forever hold your shattered peace
Oh victims of the Old Man's keep
Well no one likes a critic
When his reviews all dissapoint
But when you go and bomb his building
You think he just might have a point?
And the truth Old Man is that you don't give a damn
As long as television crews can't tape your dying land
So lie to all the cameras, redirect the blame
Cuz God knows you've gone too far to clear you bloodied name
Forever hold your shattered peace
Oh victims of the Old Man's keep

about
The Radium Girls Boston, Massachusetts
We began playing together freshman year in college, which mostly was just daydreaming and not cutting our hair. This happened in a tiny room, barely able to fit us. We played all over Rochester and released a demo in 2008, but we craved more - and with lots of coffee, we finished our debut album 'From the Woodwork'. We graduated in 2011 and moved to Boston, so we can make it big like Bon Jovi. ... more
