There are two bands with the name Subhumans: 1)Subhumans (UK): The Subhumans are an anarcho-punk band formed in Trowbridge, Wiltshire, UK in 1979 by Dick Lucas, who had formerly been in local bands including The Mental and Stupid Humans. The band released a demo in 1981 which was heard by members of the band Flux of Pink Indians after being sent to them by Graham Burnett of New Crimes fanzine, who were so impressed that they offered the Subhumans a chance to put out a record on their newly formed Spiderleg label. Shortly afterwards the Subhumans began to release material on their own Bluurg Records label. After the Subhumans split up Lucas formed the bands Culture Shock and Citizen Fish. The Subhumans occasionally reform for live performances, including at least two major tours of North America in the 21st Century, (Live in a Dive is a product of the first) and they continue to command a strong following.

Heads Of State Lyrics

Subhumans

Down in the basement in the house with the police outside
There's something secret hidden away.
In various crates in a paralyzed state.
Are the heads for the mood of the day
There's one full of piety and one for anxiety
And one for when we're heading for war
And one for the masses and the privileged classes
And one that does nothing at all.
The replaceable heads are for the government leaders
Who always seem to change their politics.
Like the head for the nation doesn't deal with immigration
'Cause patriots and riots don't mix.
When the head for the day says "I'll do it this way."
Remember the replaceable head.
'Cause when they get elected their decisions are rejected
Completely contradicting what they said.
So don't trust the politicians.
They don't make their own decisions.
'Cause they haven't got their heads screwed on.
For everything that's said it's just another head
And a politician's words can be replaced.
But then maybe I am wrong, I mean this is just a song
Is it just that politicians are two-faced?
