about

With a nod to typical Swiss pragmatism, the band sings about the revolution in Switzerland in this song: the protagonist decides to overthrow the Swiss government after reading a newspaper and travels to Bern. There he explains the reason for his displeasure to the politicians, is put off and sent home.

lyrics

At the boozer across the street
I checked my latest newsfeed
And I realized what goes wont come around

Timeline fines and welfare
All organized from armchairs
About as understanding as their baton rounds

When will we tell the government to fuck off
Use some elbow grease and bid them farewell
When will we tell the government to fuck off
They will rather move air than themselves

So I left home and went to Bern
And asked them nicely to return
Back to their holes whence they came

As I found they blokes I sough
I made a little drawing while I talked
And had security to show me out

When will we tell the government to fuck off
Use some elbow grease and bid them farewell
When will we tell the government to fuck off
And candidate ourselves

Remember. When will we tell the government to fuck off
And drive around in fancy limousines
Remember. When will we tell the government to fuck off
And live our lifes just as kings

Hendricks the Hatmaker Switzerland

Hendricks the Hatmaker, that’s Nicolas, Stefan and Ramona, combine the three musical genres of “Gin”, “Millinery” and „Butt- Kicking”.

Guitars, drums, bass, and even from time-to-time an acoustic instrument, complement each other almost as perfectly as cucumber and tonic water.

They now continue with their plan to take over the world as a classic punk-power-trio. ... more
