London punks Chubby and the Gang take on the fallacy of meritocracy on 'Lightning Don't Strike Twice,' our latest Song You Need to Know

“Lightning Don’t Strike Twice” comes from a place of empathy, with Manning explaining in a statement that the song was about social inequality: “Not mine, but the people I saw around me. I feel like the whole premise of poverty is presented like this game in which, if you play your cards right, you can escape.” The song’s final verse, he added, came after watching someone alter their voice on a phone call so it didn’t seem like they came from a lower class.

Manning zeroes in on this fallacy of meritocracy on the song’s hook, “They say lightning don’t strike twice/But these still feel like loaded dice.” The metaphor mixing is shrewd here — damned no matter how you put it — but the hook is also where the hope is. Chubby and the Gang make you believe, no matter how impossible, that something can be done about this, if it’s done together.” seven-inch single with “Life’s Lemons” on May 28th via Partisan Records.
