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.

call me punk cos I wear a leather jacket
call me a hippy cos I believe in love
and peace
call me an idealist cos of songs like this one
you can call me what
you like I am all and none of these
chorus: fix a label on me to keepillusions happy
fix a label on me does it make you feel secure?
fix a labelon me to keep me at a distance
and I'll label you as ignorant not wanting to
know more
before we understand ourselves do we have to fight eachother?
Before we share opinions must we keep them undercover?
we classify andcategorize to keep ourselves divided
we are all individuals not the images
provided
chorus
labels are a subtle way of keeping us in line
divided byconformity we waste away our time
we are all individuals divided by their
rituals
think again like I have done--throw away the labels!
