Throw In The Towel - Lyrics - Satanic Surfers
Satanic Surfers were formed in fall 1989 by vocalist Erik and drummer Rodrigo. Soon after Frederick and Magnus joined on guitar and Tomek on bass, but the band did not release their debut, Skate to Hell, until 1993. Skate to Hell was the first release issued by Bad Taste Records. Ulf replaced Erik on vocals for 1994's Keep Out on Burning Heart Records, and when he left the group, Rodrigo became the group's vocalist alongside drumming duties. Three LPs then followed on Burning Heart, with several lineup changes occurring before the group returned to Bad Taste for two releases in 2000. After 2002's Unconsciously Confined, the group added bassist Andy Dahlström and drummer Robert Samsonovitz, and issued their final album, 2005's Taste the Poison. They disbanded in 2007.

is this how we are trained to serve? we assume a way of life into which we are born, to fit a mould of acceptance, conformity and consumption. never questioning our freedom, embracing the privilege not to care. we allow ourselves to slide into a state of contentment, granted to us by this consumerist culture (of ours). we live our lives with the knowledge of global suffering and exploitation. still we dissociate ourselves from the problem, detach ourselves from compassion and outrage. while most people don't have the right to be apathetic we're giving up on the world, saying there's nothing we can do. what right do we have to throw in the towel? our privilege should be our obligation and responsibility to at least try to maintain some kind of awareness. our privileged lives should make us feel obliged to at least try to maintain some kind of awareness
