There are not many people who know more about punk than Pat Society. I am lucky enough to have known him for a very long time. Back when people traded tapes, I'll never forget the EATER tape he made and mailed me. I ended up finding all of that EATER on vinyl over the years.
My point, I don't know many punks in bands who would even know to cover "Nobody's Scared" by Subway Sect, never mind know the song or the band. Pat knows.
Pat says, “Hey a little taste of paying homage to one of the original punk bands. Its free if you want it... respects to Vic Godard for his permission.” Side note, I can confirm that Jim the Roadie (guitarist) is another who knows more about punk than I.
Philly's Battalion Zoska do a spot on version, capturing the brooding sound and delivery.
Check it out. It is free.
And if you don't know the original, check that out too! Lyrics from 1978 still haunt.
EVERYONE IS A PROSTITUTE SINGING A SONG IN PRISON.
MORAL STANDARDS THE WALLPAPER. THE WALL IS A BAD RELIGION.
MEDIA TEACH ME WHAT TO SPEAK. TAKE MY DECISIONS.
IT'S HOW TO FIND YOUR INNER-SELF TIME ON THE TELEVISION.
NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THEY'RE FOR. NO ONE EVEN CARES.
WE SHOUT PUBLICITY HAND-OUTS. NOBODY'S SCARED.
THE LANGUAGE WE USE, IS IT WHAT WE WANT?
DOES IT NOT PROJECT THE FALSE?
SUBJECT TO OBJECTS JOURNEYS MEAN THAT A WORD LOSES COURSE.
WE'RE TALKING IN CLICHES. BETRAY YOURSELF FOR MONEY.
