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.

Working for money and the system too
Thought the dole queue made you worthless
Now you're slaved to a public machine
Getting somewhere...is this what they mean?
Worthless...not enough money!
[Chorus:]
I'd rather work for money
Than just for something to do
But then why bother working at all?
Do you want to stay totally normal?
You wanted more and what did they say?
You'll never sell yourself to anyone
Come back and try in six months time
Don't you know there's a social decline?
Politics - don't it make you mad?
[Chorus]
You said you'd look for another job
Well try it sonny you won't get far
Do as you're told and stop complaining
Being conned is part of the training
Crash course - learning how to lose
[Chorus]
