Snatch has that 'Old School NYC Hardcore' feel to it. Snatch meaning to take or grab...not the slang term!

NYC Hardcore meets Stoner Rock is one way I've heard it put...A thinking man's punk is another good one! We are 4 guys who just enjoy getting together to write/
You are looking/listening and hopefully enjoying a little BOOLOW. We hail from Shelby, NC. We have been together for years. Post-Hardcore band that is heavy on the politics and lite on the fluff. We don't front any fashion or trends, we just rock. One thing about BOOLOW is this, no matter if the club is packed or only employees...We are there to put on an entertaining show! The road to hell is paved with good intentions...

Story behind the song
Politicians, mainly Democrutches motivated me to write this song. I get sick of hearing about the deficit growing. The total is all thats reported. You never hear the percentage after you divide the GNP. Plus the GNP is only one factor in the end amount. So much is wasted on Social Welfare and people have the nerve to complain about a deficit. It's not a job of the Government to provide what you need and want. It's the job of other willing humans. Yet Government still offers a nibble and you keep asking for more. Then you want them to tighten up in D.C.? Do you care that, to give the nibble they must snatch a chunk from someone else? If theft is ok, why do so many people consider it a crime? "Ask not what your country can do for you" is an amazing glimpes of the big picture thought process. It's sad that most of you think it was a cool sound bite, placed into that song "Cult of Personality"! "Ask what you can do for your country".....Here's an idea that speaks to the gimme group. Get off your ass and pull your own load. We take up the topic of those who can not pull their load in another song. This topic is used in more than one song...it's just so very important. Why do you see fit to have someone else [Big Gov't] rob people...go do it yourself! You seem to think it's A-okay
Lyrics
Where are the answers, we're all searching for... The problems expanded too big to ignore. I offer service dear Ladies and Gents. Take them to task, not their two cents Reaching down to the dirty unwashed Riding their backs for the power they've got How can so many stand on the side That blanket the minions with false hope and lies Chorus: When they try to pull us down. They won't like what they see...When they try to snatch more ground man, they'll notice me! We are strong! Just incase you need to get along Government Schools teach stick with the group Leaving the unit so easily duped The idea of self-worth gets lost in the maze Wake up your mind and undo your gaze (I think) Raise up your conscience don't wait till tomorrow Today can only serve us. Social design leads only to sorrow Whatelse is left to discuss Chorus
