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.

Rats Lyrics

Subhumans

a sense of enterprise is here
the attitudes that conquer fear
stabilitytogtherness
the feeling cannot be supressed
hand in hand we had our say
united
westand but so did they
hands in handcuffs dragged away
to cheers of hate andvictory!
chorus: we fought the city but no-one cared
they passed it off asjust a game
the city won't stop til attitudes change
rats in the cellars ofthe stock exchange
co-ordination was not so good
but everyone did just whatthey could
unarmed with inexperience
we had to use our common sense
if youact like rats you get treated like this
said a policeman like we didn't exist
when the force of law has ost it's head
the law of force is what you get
chorus
we fought their calculations
money gained from thrid world nations
all
that money spent on war
could be used to feed their poor
the papers played
the whole thing down
said there was nithing to worry about
the rats have allgine underground
but we'l be back again next time round
