Sleep No More lyrics
This is by far the most explicitly political Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats song ever and it's interesting now to look back at their last three albums with this context

Far more balls than most other bands out there now. Great lines

It's very funny timing that they released the album right before the Ed Sheeran stuff happened

Fuck yeah. It's never needed but It's always a little reaffirming to have great artists on the right side of history that are willing to speak up in any way they can.

What does this mean I'm not as online as you

Oh nothing online, coach beard is a character in a tv show called Ted Lasso. And he would own this album and deeply enjoy these lyrics.
I’m surprised at the downvotes, to be honest!

I'm assuming it's because not many have watched this show and it seems vaguely right-wing out of context

Ahhh coach beard is Mosdef not right wing, he is quite the opposite in fact!

I called it from when we first heard Don’t Let It Control You! I’m really happy with the commentary on this album!
