about

HYB speaks to the issues many face in the maritimes due to the housing crisis and rising wage gaps. Homelessness is increasing, the healthcare system is falling apart, and many are left feeling trapped in their mundane jobs trapped to continually fall behind as inflation increases. Through our music, we aim to make more people aware that things need to change. We don't have the answers, but in releasing this song we would like to play a part in the solution.

lyrics

Take these nails from my hands
Call me a prophet
I am man
Towing the line for the few
There is only so much I can do
People working to make ends meet
To lose their home from under their feet
Give them back all their land
And let them live to make a stand

We don't wanna work for you
We don't wanna work for you
We don't wanna work for you
We don't wanna work for you

No control for the lords
Who gouge the people for their hoards
Soaring inflation plagues the land
Just as much as a virus can
If you do not serve the names
Of those of greed who want the same
They might try and come for you
But this is what we're gonna do

We don't wanna work for you
We don't wanna work for you
We don't wanna work for you
We don't wanna work for you
We're not gonna work for you
We're not gonna work for you
We're not gonna work for you
We're not gonna work for you

Pines and gases fill the air
Everybody is in dispair
Explosions rock the town
The bay of fundy turns black and brown
Pines and gases fill the air
Everybody is in dispair
Explosions rock the town
The bay of fundy turns black and brown

Laaaaa
Laaaaa
LaaLaaLaaLaa
Laaaaa
LaaLaa
Laaaaaaaaaaaa
Laaaaa
Laaaaa
LaaLaaLaaLaa
Laaaaa
LaaLaa
Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Pines and gases fill the air
Everybody is in dispair
Explosions rock the town
The bay of fundy turns black and brown
Pines and gases fill the air
Everybody is in dispair
Explosions rock the town
The bay of fundy turns black and brown

We're still not gonna work for you
We're still not gonna work for you
We're still not gonna work for you
We're still not gonna work for you
We don't wanna work for you
We don't wanna work for you
We don't wanna work for you
We don't wanna work for you
