about

”We release yet another song with the Bristles, but with sadness, as Puma is no longer alive. But even this lyric, which he wrote and sang, is unfortunately just as relevant as all the other lyrics he wrote. We live in a world of war and a world where the rich and powerful play chess with the lives of workers.
Puma's voice is still there but the cancer took Puma.
F** Cancer!
/The Bristles

In memory of:
Johan ”Puma” Larsson 1965-2023

lyrics

a military campaign to oust a government
bomb the infrastructure, killing women and children
leaving the country in ruins and mayhem

in the name of the people
in the interest of the ruling elite

under attack, military equipment were moved
into civilian areas like residential neighborhoods
using anti aircraft weapons from hotel roofs

in the name of the people
in the interest of the ruling elite

war, what is it good for
for the people, absolutely nothing

in the name of the people
in the interest of the ruling elite
