about

Adelaide had a really bad plague of locusts back late 2010/early 2011. This is not only a reference to that, but also the Biblical plagues of Egypt. It is one of the later tracks that will feature on our Apocalypse concept album.

lyrics

Locusts rain down from the sky, a plague has come!
In the coming weeks and months life’s not going to be fun!
Get your fly spray out guys, today’s a time of need,
These insect bastards don’t know it’s impolite to eat other people’s feed!

These locusts are bugging me,
I just want to be free,
Eating all of our food,
We’re gonna be really screwed.
These locusts are bugging me,
They’ve got all the luck,
Eating our sustenance freely,
And they don’t give a fuck!

They’re good protein if you eat them, but that is not advised,
You don’t know where they’ve been for a start, and I doubt they’re sanitised!
Death to the buggy things, they’re being total dicks!
I’d fight them all myself if I had a swat and some pointy sticks!

These locusts are bugging me,
I just want to be free,
Eating all of our food,
We’re gonna be really screwed.
These locusts are bugging me,
They’ve got all the luck,
Eating our sustenance freely,
And they don’t give a fuck!

And so, the plagues continued on! I watched as crops were razed, food was destroyed, and the land itself became barren, like bread left out to become dry and stale. I watched as our race succumb to starvation, and I knew the end of days would soon be upon us, like a seagull upon chips!

These insects are making us starve, and that’s really mean!
Now all that I have left is a can of baked beans!
The bugs have won, I think it’s time for our race to enter the abyss,
I wish that Half-Life 2 because headcrabs would be better than this!

These locusts are bugging me,
I just want to be free,
Eating all of our food,
We’re gonna be really screwed.
These locusts are bugging me,
They’ve got all the luck,
Eating our sustenance freely,
And they don’t give a fuck!

The bugs have won, I think it’s time for our race to enter the abyss,
I wish that Half-Life 2 because headcrabs would be better than this!

about

The Prophets of Impending Doom Adelaide, Australia

The Prophets of Impending Doom are possibly the only ska band to ever feature a dedicated cowbellist. Combine this extra cowbell with a four-piece harmonic horn section, an awesome-as-fuck rhythm section laying down the craziest danciest beats this side of the Black Stump, and a live show more energetic than any you've seen before, and you have us - your new favourite SA ska octet! ... more
