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.

The government are real good to us
They crowd in their shelters and let us die
The nuclear holocaust won't last long
White turns to black in the sky
[Chorus]
You build your demolition war
What the hell are you fighting for?
You keep your peace with the starving countries
The Cambodians have to be fed
But can't you see we've got our problems?
You're taxing us to buy tons of lead
[Chorus]
Labour can take the businesses over
Because they've got the worker's rights
A choice of three for democracy
And they're all parasites
[Chorus]
Parasites - taking over the country!
Parasites - taking over your home!
Parasites - taking over your mind!
