Scumbag

"Scumbag" Seventh track from Too Far Gone

''Witt and James had this to say: “Scumbag is one of your thrashiest and blunt songs to date and seems to refer to the current political landscape, could you explain what inspired the lyrical content to this track? “Elijah – Yes, one hundred percent. I mean it literally says ‘Nazi fucking scum’ at the end of the song. This was the only time I wanted to get political on the album as it seems like an obvious stance to take, to be against the alt-right or any kind of anti-Semitic, racist, homophobic white supremacy. The song is essentially a call-out to that culture which has become much more public in America. The alt-right essentially has a new face, a cleaner more relatable version of the KKK and it’s a very scary moment. They used to be simply a laughing stock from the south, which we have witnessed being from the south ourselves; but now you see the alt-right and it’s much more clearly based from the Nazi party. If you look back at 1937 when Hitler was coming into power, it was all about a prolific visionary esque speaker captivating people. “James – They dress it up to be this glorious thing, when actually it’s pretty dark. It’s a shame to see young people growing up like this, children are going to grow up to become bigots like the rest of their family.''

I am your judge Sitting on my throne Jumping down your throat Picking off your bones I am your judge Casting you aside Burn your sheets of white I'd rather die before I watch you rise Cancer of humanity Rise, rise

I am your jury With my head held high Over your so called strife Treading on your life I am your jury You will not find grace In your final hate I won't die before I watch you burn I will watch you burn

Cancer of humanity Rise, rise You will never fucking rise Rise, rise Man infested destiny Rise, rise

You will never fucking rise, Nazi fucking scum
