Sheer Mag

Sheer Mag is an American rock band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States, formed in 2014. A combination of 1970s rock and punk ethos, the band continued to gather attention and has released three 7-inch EPs as of March 2016. In January 2015, Rolling Stone featured the band as one of "10 New Artists You Need To Know", describing them as "a gang of punks with a not-so-secret love of Seventies classic rock." Four of five band members attended the State University of New York at Purchase. In 2016, the band was part of the Coachella 2016 line-up and performed on Late Night with Seth Myers. On May 10, 2017, Sheer Mag released "Need To Feel Your Love," the first track off their first full-length record, Need To Feel Your Love. more »

From the sorrow we created
A fragile state of blood and whim
Made for rich men in their white skin
People bolder than I
Stood up to the lie
That equality has left! (my, my)
But it leaves no doubt in my mind
I've been reading the news and you'll surely regret
If you don't give us the ballot, expect the bayonet!
Well, expect the bayonet! (yeah, yeah)
Expect the bayonet!

Don't say I didn't warn ya
'Cause for every man high upon the hog
There's a dogwood forest buried in the fog
How naked is your eye?
Do you ever wonder why
You're being asked to recompense
When it's the last sign of your defence?
So you better resolve or you'll surely regret
If you don't give us the ballot, expect the bayonet!
Well, expect the bayonet! (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

When the name came down
I covered my ears afraid of the sound
But we got the power to take back our nights
Give up our silence and give up our time alone

We're not on our own!
Though violent minds hatch violent plans
For many it's the only thing they understand
When the dog whistle is ringing
It's the currency that they deal in
So before the world's been reduced to soot
Solidarity for those underfoot
And I better remind you or you'll surely regret
If you don't give us the ballot, expect the bayonet!
Oh well, expect the bayonet! (yeah, yeah)
Expect the bayonet!
Oh well, expect the bayonet! (yeah, yeah)
Expect the bayonet!
Oh well, expect the bayonet! (yeah, yeah)
Expect the bayonet!
