about

Not In The Game encapsulates rage against late stage capitalism and it's failings. We want people to be kind. For power to be put in its place. For air and water to be clear and clean. We want justice for the oppressed. We want exploiters of the underclass and their lands, to be divested of the power to harm. We want animals and nature to be recognised as expressions of "the Goddess" and break away from all regressive patriarchal systems. We are not here to make friends we are here to speak truth to power.

lyrics

when you see a flower and you wanna rub your face in it
and you do cos you don’t care what people think
when you think you’ve seen a ghost and you wanna walk towards it
but you don’t cos you don’t believe in ghosts

you see an empty branch you wanna swing on it
you see a hearse drive past you wanna be in it

when I’m blind and dumb and deaf
lights go out lights go dead
light a candle light a candle
wait it out in the dark in the dark in the dark

shadows on the wall loom like higher powers
shouting out to neighbours in the park
staying in bed and out of the rain
losing is easy when you’re not in the game
not in the game

when you’re staring into space and you wanna take off
take leave of all this bullshit tearing us apart
when you wanna be an alien leave it all behind
fly to the moon find a new friend touch a new star

you see an empty branch you wanna swing on it
you see a hearse drive past you wanna be in it

shadows on the wall loom like higher powers
shouting out to neighbours in the park
staying in bed and out of the rain
losing is easy when you’re not in the game
not in the game
not in the game
not in the game
not in the game
