	Give me drums & give me bass Setting up some track & trace Think you need to know your place Better not invade my space Lack of grace Staying home to watch the chase In disgrace Nosey neighbours on your case Shut your face Last days of the human race Spray your mace Get some drums & get some bass Unwell fair state. Do not create Just make a date to seal your fate We’re going to manipulate So call us up & grass a mate Stay indoors Upon all fours On virus ridden Stinking floors I’m getting mine You won’t get yours The cash I’m holding In my paws Unless you have to do Some chores We’ll seal you in & bolt the doors

about

Give me drums... Give me bass... Setting up some... Track and trace...

A perfect introduction to South London's most prominent post-punk poets, Pimps Run Free is the first of 3 Crushed By Pimps releases scheduled for 2022 through Lights And Lines.

Pimps Run Free picks up the threads of the general dissonance and chaos of society explored in the debut album, bringing them up to date in the context of the pandemic. A mix of poetic nuance and anger with layers of satire and a whole load of NOISE really help hit the nail on the head with this one...

In guitarist Ben's own words:

“Pimps run free is a song about the pestilence virus times. Pimps will continue to run free regardless of pestilence virus times.”

So there you go.
