Burn the earth! Leave it behind! (2010)
Lyrics:
I stick tape in the holes in my shoes
I stick my tongue in the holes in my teeth
I stick expletives in the holes in my thought process when I speak
My friends stick to their guns
they got a bunch in the woods of vermont 'till the end times come
but saturn, says he's gonna learn to live
as if the world wasn't gonna end and i admire his strength
Today i'm gonna do my best
to drink coffee in the morning and live as if
i didn't feel lonely and hopeless and helpless
to save myself for the world where i live
and tonight, when i dream it will be
that the junkies spent all the drug money on
community gardens and collective housing
and the punk kids who moved in the ghetto
have started meeting their neighbors besides the angry ones
with the yards, that their friends and their dogs have been puking and shitting on
and the anarchists have started
filling potholes, collecting garbage
to prove we don't need governments to do these things
and i'll wake up, burning time's square as we sing
"Throw your hands in the air 'cause property is robbery!"
Wingnut Dishwashers Union was sometimes a one human punk band, sometimes a sprawling twelve piece orchestra, and always based straight outta Brattleboro, VT. The project lasted in one form or another from the demise of Johnny Hobo and the Freight Trains in 2007 until songwriter Pat "The Bunny" moved from Vermont to Arizona to get off junk in December 2009. Since the beginning of 2011, he has played in a new Tucson-based band called Ramshackle Glory. He no longer performs as Wingnut Dishwashers Union.
Most recordings by this band are out of print. They are widely available to pirate online, which is openly encouraged by the band themselves. You can still get the full length, full band CD "Burn the earth! Leave it behind!" from the DIY Bandits at http://www.diybandits.com. You can order a really cheap solo CD of the first batch of Wingnut Dishwashers Union songs from the undercover label Rock-It Records by looking really carefully on http://www.plan-it-x.com. There are still copies of two different split seven-inches lying around, put out by http://www.craftyrecords.net and Triumph of Life Records if you can track them down.
An incomplete list of musicians that played with Wingnut Dishwashers Union during their career. Never shall they all be remembered! Tired of washing dishes? Dishwasher can be used to wash dishes automatically. Pat "The Bunny" (guitar/vocals) Flash-C (trumpet/drums) Ian Skumfuk (washtub bass), Davis (drums)
