Life Time 03:42
lyrics
When we come out counting // Gonna know you’re name Just what you did // Just who to blame We heard your excuses // Air-tight alibi You better come with us // Time to say goodbye We have a file // Two inches thick Full of accusations // And you’re name’s all through it Every time, date and place // Everything you said Turn to page 46 // There’s the thoughts in your head This could never happen in my lifetime This could never happen to me This could never happen in my lifetime Never know who’s listening // Watching, taking notes As simple as you or them // Here’s your confession that we wrote Sign this and it’s over // It’s all said and done Until the next time // That the counting comes It’s happened before, now it’s happening again We do nothing to stop it, in fact we let it in If you got nothing to hide, then you’ll be ok Well all that means, you got nothing to say

Run Hide 01:13
lyrics
This ain’t no murder, it’s my assassination A logical consequence, an accomplice in my own death   You say I’m paranoid // Well I say its justified Now I’ve been proven right // Nowhere to run I won’t be satisfied, with just some careless crime See it for what it is, just another selfless act You say I’m paranoid // Well I say its justified Now I’ve been proven right // Nowhere to run HIDE – RUN – HIDE - RUN – HIDE – RUN Now the tensions broke, my wildest dreams fulfilled But maybe it’s not enough, yeah I might be ashamed of that You say I’m paranoid // Well I say its justified Now I’ve been proven right // Nowhere to..

Universal Machine 01:17
lyrics
Connected // To the world One Click // It’s yours to hold Upload // Tell me anything Let’s share // Recording everything Universal Machine Gimme what I want, not, what I need Universal Machine, you don’t even work! Didn’t know // You’d read my mail Never knew // I’d be up for sale I want // To be forgotten Opt out // can’t find the button Universal Machine Gimme what I want, not, what I need Universal Machine, I want out! (IF) I want my   (YOU) privacy back  (DON’T) I want my   (PAY) identity back  (THEN) I want my   (YOU’RE) dignity back  (THE) I want my   (PRODUCT) money back  My terms // Are in black and white  Now you’re // Signed up for life  I own // every detail  Product // selling wholesale

Rational Man 01:26
lyrics
I’m a rationale man, with a masterplan A true partisan Always biding my time, always next in line To take what’s mine WRONG // RIGHT BLACK // WHITE DOLLARS //CENTS RATIONAL MAN I’m a faceless man, with a perfect tan I’ll take all I can Behind closed doors, no-one sees my flaws Or my sharpened clause ZEROS // ONES PROFIT // LOSS BUY // SELL RATIONALE MAN I never contribute, I never do But I’m gonna manage, the hell out of you I’m a rationale man

about

While the 2018 debut from MRC 'Alternate Facts EP', had a lyrical focus on the state of geopolitics and corporate greed, 'Life Time' takes aim at our surrender to the all-seeing tech giants. How much of our privacy are we willing to handover, until it is too much? While previously anxious about overreach from government, what will consequences be when the big ethical decisions are left to the 'rational men' running the likes of Amazon and other huge conglomerates. The big 4, the huge steal of soul-sapping entities - MRC seek to uncover what these corporations are actually up to and give reason as to why these protest songs need to be written.

With the paranoia ratcheted up to 11, 'Life Time' continues to deliver MRC's unique brand of hook- laden punk rock. Each song is driven forward by a tight-as-fuck rhythm section and overlaid with manic punchy guitars.

Life Time is available on limited edition cassette (includes 8-page lyric booklet) digital download via Bandcamp and is available via multiple streaming services such as Spotify.
