I - Always sat at the back of the class I - Always struggled but I always passed Now - Don’t care if you disapprove Now - It’s time to make my move I’m back in the game Life won’t be the same I - Always at the back of the line I - Always making up the time Now - Ain’t nothing gonna hold me back Now - Now I’m back, yeah I’m back in black I’m back in the game Life won’t be the same This is not the end This is just the beginning

Interest Free and nothing more to pay I want it now nothing more to say Gimme the pen I wanna sign Strung out / hung up on the dotted line Locked in I'm fucking so locked in Let the cycle of debt begin - begin Locked in I'm fucking so locked in When will I see the the black again - again 24 years seems a long time to me And how much do you want from my pay each week Just another ploy to hold me down In a sea of fees I'm gonna drown

So tired of being brand aware Ain't no demographic I ain't no market share Jamming Culture Culture Jam Stem this one-way flow Make ourselves heard Time to take back control Jamming Culture Culture Jam Distort the message In the war of meaning Rewire the message In this war of words In the cultural poverty Of our sponsored lives We must be heard Jamming Culture Culture Jam Inflicting brand damage We'll use their momentum We'll use it against 'em Jamming Culture Culture Jam Distort the message In the war of meaning Rewire the message In this war of words

Too many names Too many numbers Too many things I gotta remember So many things I wanna forget Like what you told me yesterday And what I needed to do today Like every other word you say I DRAWN A BLANK!!! My boss' name Important dates My height in inches My average wieght My password My TFN The Meaning of These acronyms Where I parked my car A day of absent minded action A global slacker revolution We'll rid ourselves of this mind polution I drawn a blank I drawn a blank I drawn a blank We'll bring this nation To it's knees We'll make it beg We'll make it plead Turn the knife let it bleed We'll organise to forget Unionise the prolatariat Smash the system through neglect I DRAWN A BLANK!!! Left my keys Paid those bills Fines & fees TO FORGET IS TO RESIST!!!!!!!!

Refuse / To Chose Refuse / To Chose Paralysed by choice Of a new generation A generation I don't belong What if I make the wrong decision If I move too slow I move to fast And end up with a beta-max Refuse / To Chose Refuse / To Chose Paralysed by choice Of a new generation A generation I don't belong How can I make The big decisions When I can't decide Which loaf of bread to buy Should I become Six-Sided Man Roll the dice Leave it to chance

Kick your door with freedom - shock & awe When the city fell Sweep the floor with democracy When the city fell It's war by invitation When the city fell It's war by syndication That's when the city fell When the city fell Out went the lights Out When the lights When the city fell Out went the lights There go your rights Katrina's coming - cut & run When the city fell Survival of the fittest When the city fell Evacuation by invitation When the city fell Evacuation by sydnication That's when the city fell When the city fell Out went the lights Out When the lights 100 million marched 100 million said no war 100 million stood But still the city fell 100 Thousand left 100 Thousand left behind 100 Thousand stood But still the city fell-fell-fell-still the city fell

See The World 03:49

Each working week feels like a fucking year Always wanting just that little more Hour by hour increase the pressure Salary man or just a wage slave You wanna see the world But you ain't got the time You keep on worrking Todaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay You change the world But you ain't got the time You keep on slaving Awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay I hope you got what it fucking takes Cause they are gonna take all you fucking got Hour by hour increase the pressure Salary man or just a wage slave You ask if I'm happy You know if I am satisfied But all I feel is loss where you expected pride If there was one that I would change That one thing would be you-you-you-would be you

Razorcake.org - Review:

Man, I’ve listened to this thing so many times, trying to pin down exactly what it is that Locked In reminds me of and I finally came up with it. It was like a goddamn light bulb appeared above my head: Twin City Faction sounds like a less dissonant version of This Machine Kills or a slightly more spastic replica of the Torches To Rome 12”, just with a little less oomph and a few more hardcore breakdowns. It’s not quite as dense as TTR—Twin City Faction bobs and weaves their instrumental interplay too much to get the “wall of sound” thing going, but they’ve got the same sense of impending doom, the same frantic quality that those bands really nailed down in their heyday. Crazy stops and starts, a brutal rhythm section, a vocalist who belts it out so hard it sounds like he’s trying to turn his innards into outards, and backing vocals that screech, cement and accentuate it all. Throw that all together with some pretty decent social/political lyrics that aren’t dumb and a nice layout and that’s what you’re looking at. It’s by no means a monumental album but it’s also not an album that should be glossed over or shitcanned as inconsequential. Nice work. –Keith Rosson
