There are too many waiting for our planet to burn There are few many fighting for what is left to save
Are we here for Extinction Are we here for Rebellion
Ice caps are melting and seasons are fading while sacred famelic creatures are lost in the cities but we're cought up, taken and distracted we fail to see
Are we here for Extinction Are we here for Rebellion Are we here for Extinction We are here for Rebellion
Suggestions on how to live happy and free
are illusions of knowing while we dive in seas of whispers and shadows that hide what is true but be careful the person you cannot lie to is you
Is you, is you, is you, is you
We are not defined by name We are not defined by race We are not defined by wealth We are not defined by faith
We are not defined by name We are not defined by race We are not defined by wealth We are not defined by faith
We are not defined by name We are not defined by race We are not defined by wealth We are not defined by faith
Are we here for Extinction Are we here for Rebellion Are we here for Extinction We are here for Rebellion

I tell you once and I tell you twice
They keep repeating far too many lies But now it’s clear, for one too many
The world is filtered right before our eyes
Well I ask you what do you think of war Can it be triggered by a pencil draw cos when’s too late, for one too many it will become a powerful ammo
One too many all the lives we’ve been deprived One too many all the wars that never die
One too many all the lies that we’ve been told and all of this is more than we can hold
Feels like I’m talking to a brick wall
No hope, I’m trapped, I’m in a death row For when’s too late for one too many We’ll all be gone faster than the light
We give you an inch and you take a mile your promises are lies in suit and tie
in fact you’ve just said one too many Time is running out don’t you realise?
One too many all the lives we’ve been deprived One too many all the wars that never die
One too many all the lies that we’ve been told and all of this is more than we can hold
Oh I’ll tell you straight now you can’t hide Eyes open now we read between the lines Words in the wind are, ONE TOO MANY Now it’s clear you’re rotten from inside!!!
One too many all the lives we’ve been deprived One too many all the wars that never die
One too many all the lies that we’ve been told and all of this is more than we can hold
One too many all the lives we’ve been deprived One too many all the wars that never die
One too many all the lies that we’ve been told and all of this is more than we can hold

o sono l'uomo nero, demone e nocchiero in una palude infernale
Io causa di questo male, tradisco, mi pento
Uomini donne e bambini, salite vi guidero'
Gettate I corpi al mare e al vento, lasciateli morire
Io fiero eroe di questa scena supero le acque, coraggioso
Io fiamma che combatte il male assicuro, al sicuro
Uomini donne e bambini, calmate - vi salvero'
Gettate I corpi al mare e al vento, lasciateli morire
Gettate I corpi al mare e al vento, lasciateli morire
Ma chi fa, ma che, chi c'e qui che fa', ma chi e' che fa mafia
Ma chi fa, ma che, chi c'e qui che fa', ma chi e' che fa mafia
Io creo eroi e infamita'
Vengo poi mostrata a dosi e burattinata
Io sono neanche mezza verita'
Uomini donne e bambini, sveglate – vi ingannero'
Gettate I corpi al mare e al vento, lasciateli morire
Gettate I corpi al mare e al vento, lasciateli morire
Ma chi fa, ma che, chi c'e qui che fa', ma chi e' che fa mafia
Ma chi fa, ma che, chi c'e qui che fa', ma chi e' che fa mafia
Ma chi fa, ma che, chi c'e qui che fa', ma chi e' che fa mafia

Everyone can change their life at once and everyone deserves a second chance no need to explain the injection of trust, adrenaline rush, rebirth is a must
When you decide to leave your troubled past behind, jumpin' in blind, future you'll find
When where you live, has got nothing to offer or give, be brave and leave and start to breathe
Everyone can change their life at once and everyone deserves a second chance no need to explain the injection of trust, adrenaline rush, rebirth is a must
Trapped in a cage, you're feeling like there is no escape. Nowhere tu run, is here where i'll die? Finding the key is easier than you think it should be, find it inside, feeling alive and you realise
Staring at the sun is now she will ever know, if she crosses all the borders what will be her home, excited of adventures her life did not give she should be rounding and changing around the way she wants to live.
Everyone can change their life at once and everyone deserves a second chance no need to explain the injection of trust, adrenaline rush, rebirth is a must

Where is London
and all its people
going to end
kick them out
keep pushing them away
and all it’s character and local businesses
and music venues
kick them all out
What is London
going to be
and offer our communities
aside from bigger chains
and larger hotels
and even grater malls
and giant ghost houses
Stop London gentrified
Our souls still alive
We see under your disguise
Money money money
business quick
are you in or are you out?
I say kick them all out
we’re all just part of it
it's cool i'll hang in it
it's cheap i'll go for it
accepting all is happening
Richer richer richer
you’re not rich enough
to live where you were born
refining all is worn
it's ten quid for coffee and cake
tasting tyres just for the sake
feeding us all that's mistake
despite what's at stake
Stop London gentrified
Our souls still alive
We see under your disguise
We’re more and more
all wanting more
and getting poorer than we’ve been before
give me more time London gentrified
your heart has minutes quantified
more more more wanting more wanting more
Stop London gentrified
Our souls still alive
We see under your disguise

Thrown in a foreign land
forced to take his hand
not old enough to make a choice
staring at a dead end
Once where she belonged
her life was nicely framed
calling you 'hey friend'
doesn't know your name
Just begging with
paper cup it's upon her
fallen a trap
Visible war
invisible borders
closer than ever
unknowable presences
some blind, some looking
for a cure
that keeps the horizon still
Don't look down
don't judge it
don't hide it
don't leave it
visible war, invisible borders
just at our doorstep
All her thoughts are questions
reminds herself her name
those haunting memories
got myself to blame
searching for a place
to finally call home
hope that never leaves her
gets stronger as she roams
Just begging with
paper cup it's upon her
fallen a trap
Visible war
invisible borders
closer than ever
unknowable presences
some blind, some looking
for a cure
that keeps the horizon still
Don't look down
don't judge it
don't hide it
don't leave it
visible war, invisible borders
just at our doorstep
Keep the horizon still
Keep the horizon still
Keep the horizon still
Keep the horizon still
Visible war
invisible borders
closer than ever
unknowable presences
some blind, some looking
for a cure
that keeps the horizon still
Don't look down
don't judge it
don't hide it
don't leave it
visible war, invisible borders
just at our doorstep

Guarda ma non guardare altro
o ti perderai
trova dove cherchi
o non ti troverai
libero
ma sognando il prigioniero
sempre libero
ma sognando il prigioniero
Ama ma non amare altro
o ti perderai
segui sempre il suono
o non ti troverai
libero
ma sognando il prigioniero
sempre libero
ma sognando il prigioniero
Sempre cercando
Sempre cercando
Sempre cercando
La verita'
La verita'
Guarda ma non guardare altro
o ti perderai
segui sempre il suono
o non ti troverai
libero
ma sognando il prigioniero
sempre libero
ma sognando il prigioniero
Sempre cercando
Sempre cercando
Sempre cercando
La verita'
La verita'

If you ever wondered what Italian body language does mean
listen carefully focus and pay attention to me
a man was walking peacefully holding a panini double cheese and salamini
but then a very hungry man cheeky and envious of his treat steals it from his fingertips
So run run run away
cos if I reach you and catch you you’ll be sorry of what you’ve done here
run run run away
cos if I reach you and grab you I will show you what I’ll do here
run run run away
cos if I reach you and catch you You’ll be sorry of what you’ve done here
I don’t need no words to tell you how I feel, capisc?
Shouting don’t you have some money to go buy your self some spaghetti
why the accusation what the hell do you want from me
Do you think I’m stupid and I didn’t see you taking what I bought from that Deli
I didn’t hear or see a thing And now you’re really boring me I really don’t give a ssh....!
So run run run away
cos if I reach you and catch you you’ll be sorry of what you’ve done here
run run run away
cos if I reach you and grab you I will show you what I’ll do here
run run run away
cos if I reach you and catch you You’ll be sorry of what you’ve done here
I don’t need no words to tell you how I feel, capisc?
After a long chase
the two men a face to face
look at me in the eyes
and tell me what you hide
oh it’s too late yea it’s too late
your treat has long gone
and I don’t give a damn no
now It’s mine oh it’s mine
cornuto!
So run run run away
cos if I reach you and catch you you’ll be sorry of what you’ve done here
run run run away
cos if I reach you and grab you I will show you what I’ll do here
run run run away
cos if I reach you and catch you You’ll be sorry of what you’ve done here
I don’t need no words to tell you how I feel, capisc?

Lies in Suit and Tie’s penchant for catchy and danceable numbers is evident just as much as its commitment to tackle socio-political and environmental issues. This seemingly contradictory statement is central to the ethos of the collective. The mainstream media filtering the truth on immigration, climate change, gentrification and Brexit are some of the topics explored within the lyrics.
From a stylistic viewpoint, the album reflects the blend of influences each and every member brings in. During the course of the 8 tracks you will hear hints of Balkan and Afro-beat, southern Italian rhythms, Rock and Ska alike.
The album opens with the single “Extinction Rebellion” and continues with “One Too Many”, a fast, brass-heavy track with an unmistakable Balkan flavour.
“Ma Chi” follows suit and denounces the human trafficking business ran by the mafia in Italy. It is one of only 2 songs written in Italian and features a dense strings arrangement, over-driven guitar and trumpet. Nestled among many fast-paced and high-energy numbers, “Horizon” is the only ballad to appear on the album. It features predominantly acoustic instruments such as double bass, acoustic guitar and Bouzuki.
