Sarah Shook & the Disarmers will release their next album Revelations on March 29. Today, they released the title track as the second single from the record. The track takes a long, hard look at what it’s like to work hard for very little and try to stay afloat.

Written by bandleader River Shook, “Revelations” is a raw, biting, galvanizing track that looks at navigating one’s mental health under capitalism. Sonically, the song delivers pure country twang with a toe-tapping beat. However, the lyrics are more punk rock than honky tonk. Lines like I’ve been in the state that I’m in since the day of my birth / New beginning, I’m done listening / When the Old Guard tells me what my word is worth and Hey baby I’m barely gettin’ through each day / Breakin’ my back for a pittance paid nail down the spirit of the song.
