After the Punk Night at Hot Cat, I got real curious about Bastards of Imperialism. Reached out to Darryl, their songwriter and vocalist, for some information and just admited my interest. Warmhearted as he is, he answered all my questions, shared a few thoughts about a few things and let me come along for what they were doing next – recording a second album.
Too old for this shit
I came here to fuck shit up
I won’t stop ’til I’ve had enough
You don’t like it_ You can go get fucked
Here it is, my big crux
Now I’ve spent 40 long years in this trench
This is my life, and in Beijing there’s a foul, stench
This is not right
it’s rising up the depths
of the sewer
it fucking stinks
Shanzai punk, mother fuckin’
bullshit spewers
Young punk brag about their shoes
Fuck you and your i-phone too
You’re a fucking a clique
you bitch about the government
Where the fuck is your social commitment?
Now I’ve spent 40 long years in this trench
This is my life
and in Beijing there’s a foul
stench
This is not right
it’s rising up the depths
of the sewer
it fucking stinks
Shanzai punk, mother fuckin’
bullshit spewers
– What exactly is it that you’re doing here? What is it that you wanna write about?
Darryl asked me in the cab on our way back, and I told him I was’nt sure, but that there is a story here. Somewhere.
