On a day when one of the most famous horse races returns, a better bet is this fiercely caustic, fast and furious, post-punk critical perspective about the Aintree event by a nearby band, the Liverpool-based indie four-piece. Out on Nice Swan Records. The song is the second single from their new EP. To enjoy or buy their music, also visit their Bandcamp page which is embedded below.
It's just a question of sport, we’re all just setting the course
We're all just cracking the whip with some incredible force
Well that's one hell of a trip
It’s not quite justified
Well I don't care if it dies it's entertainment
Don't call it cruel, define exploitation
Well that's one hell of a quip
Not quite biding well
And I wouldn't place a bet if you paid me
I'd always end up losing my money
On some stupid horse again
I'm not here to makе friends
Can’t you comprehend?
It’s just not all that grand
Wе all gather on our artificial lawns
Discussing chemtrails and the problems at our schools
It's not my fault, you can’t tell me that I'm wrong
Well I don't care for anything apart from my returns
And if I bet my 401k, what's the harm?
Got to tuck my kid in in my new 5-bedroom home
Don’t wanna hear you complain about your loans
You're just not qualified
And I wouldn't place a bet if you paid me
I'd always end up losing my money
On some stupid horse again
I'm not here to make friends
Can't you comprehend?
It's just not all that grand
And this is not my hill to die on
This is not my hill
Grand, Grand National
Grand, Grand National …
