about

A song born out of frustration and our love/hate relationship with this city. It’s political yet satirical but most importantly it’s honest and it’s us. Thank you to our friends who were a part of the creative process and whether you stream it, steal it, shout it, sing it, love it or hate it - we appreciate the continued support.

lyrics

Verse 1

Nothing left here for me, hard to be punk in a dying scene
They tore down the Pav and sold Plan B
Now big real-estate's planting condo seeds.
Who's going to work at the grocery store,
Can't afford to be too poor,
The landlord says you can't pay your rent
Tough luck let the cop's go and take your tent.

Few beers in when things get rough,
Hop in the pit when your feeling tough,
I'm all in but they called my bluff,

Chorus

Drunk's not dead and I'm not punk enough
Drunk's not dead and I'm not punk enough
Drunk's not dead and I'm not punk enough
Drunk's not dead and I'm not punk enough
Drunk's not dead and I'm not punk enough

Verse 2

It's anarchy in the HRM,
Donair and cheap beer are my only friends,
Should I stay, or should I go,
To Montreal or Toronto?
Gentrification is overrated,
Now I just want to be sedated,
Fuck Tim houston, fuck Mike Savage.
Haligonia, über alles!

Few beers in when things get rough,
Hop in the pit when your feeling tough,
I'm all in but they called my bluff,

Chorus

Drunk's not dead and I'm not punk enough
Drunk's not dead and I'm not punk enough
Drunk's not dead and I'm not punk enough
Drunk's not dead and I'm not punk enough
Drunk's not dead and I'm not punk enough
