about

Forget social media trolls, society reflected through 'most respectible' media broadcasters ram societal expectations in stereo into your living room every day. Those straying from social norms are hung out to dry and ridiculed, while those brave enough to speak out are cast out or cancelled. Micro-aggression is alive and well. Meanwhile off-air their private lives aren't as perfect as they would have you imagine.

lyrics

Sharp look, white teeth, nice smile
Don't say it's never easy
Good line, catch phrase, caught you
Hold tight you could get queasy

They know what's best for you
Preachin' on the left side, preachin' on the right side
They'll drain the life from you
Taking from the left side, taking from the right side

They hold on living out a lie
Just the two of them until they die

It's just the way it's always been
You don't seem with the program
Find love, just one, not more
That's right, that's good, you understand

They draw the line at you
Standing with the left side, standing with the right side
That's just a thing they do
Fighting for the left side, fighting for the right side

They hold on living out a lie
Just the two of them until they die

Oh you always fear what you don't know
We're not like them after the show
Come backstage and be yourself
Nobody else
Let it go, let it go yeah

They hold on living out a lie
Just the two of them until they die

They need to know their genes go on
What would the neighbours say
No chance of any trouble now
Not while the cat's away

They keep their secrets well
Lyin' to the left side, lyin' to the right side
It's such a nice hotel
Sleepin' on the left side, sleepin' on the right side

They hold on living out a lie
Just the two of them until they die
They hold on living out a lie
Just the two of them until they die

We're not livin' like you
Any more than you're like us
We're not lying like you
We know, we see, we've got you sussed

about

OLDER New Zealand

We produce music that is laden with antipathy for mainstream culture and is seasoned with an alternative point of view, wrapped up in a deceptive layer of respectability. We champion the creative thinker and the under dog yapping in the wind. Everything we write is inspired by first-hand experience. If our art resonates with you then that's a connection that means everything to us. ... more
