Flux of Pink Indians-Charity Hilarity

A great song by anarcho-punk band Flux of Pink Indians
lyrics-
the oxtam ad makes you feel bad
you put a few coppers into the slot
pretending that it's all that you've got

hungry conscience
charity, hilarity
starving millions
prevention, cure
a few pence shed and both are fed
a few pence shed and both are fed

the money we donate to charity
is too small to be of real consequence
but large enough to ease our conscience

the oxtam ad makes you feel bad
you put a few coppers into the slot
pretending that it's all that you've got
hungry conscience
charity, hilarity
starving millions
prevention, cure
a few pence shed and both are fed
a few pence shed and both are fed

disease, poverty and famine need not to exist
because we let them, they continue to persist
there is enough for all of our need
but not for all of our greed

the oxtam ad makes you feel bad
you put a few coppers into the slot
pretending that it's all that you've got
hungry conscience
charity, hilarity
starving millions
prevention, cure
a few pence shed and both are fed
a few pence shed and both are fed

To call them a crass ripoff is to call all anarcho bands crass ripoffs. Ironically enough I love anarcho but don't care much for crass

[mandacruickshank]

Crass is one of my favorite bands, and yeah these guys sound similar. But I'd say the main similarity is just the genre.

crass put me in anarcho punk and i like cras alot bul i like flux omega tribe and most of anarcho punk bands as i like crass

[jerlsp1]

@menijoe same here never been a fan of crass

[montecarlo362]

and the label of course , this was put out on crass s label

[Kumite0071]

Crass helped alot of these bands out more than they practiced their instruments. But Flux was one of the few "crass" bands that made some money...along with conflict. But it was Crass's ideas/ideals that helped push the movement and these bands along.

[PunkSkanker]
