National Treasure 02:19 video
lyrics

The founding fathers left a map All seeing eye, a deadly trap The truth is hidden in a way that only I can explain Ben Franklin left some clues that prove my grandfather wasn’t insane I’m not a thief I’m a treasure protector Can’t let you keep You know that I’m a collector I’m not a thief I’m a treasure protector Can’t let you keep My national treasure Freemasons buried a city of gold Your history books are clearly controlled The truth is hidden in a way that only I can explain Ben Franklin left some clues that prove my grandfather wasn’t insane I’m not a thief I’m a treasure protector Can’t let you keep You know that I’m a collector I’m not a thief I’m a treasure protector Can’t let you keep My national treasure

Con Air 02:18 video
lyrics

All aboard! Fortune has betrayed us Wish I’d taken the bus Now It’s too late to choose Prison break Never should’ve left the hangar It’s just my luck Heads they win, tails I lose Brace yourself for death! First class flight to your final breath This is Con Air, Con Air, Welcome to Con Air! Bet you could’ve guessed A plane full of killers This is not for the best Here on Con Air, Con Air, Welcome to Con Air! Holy shit I’m one flight away from freedom Gonna risk it all ‘Cause it’s the right thing to do Shut your mouth These fists are deadly weapons They’ll kill again If you make me break the rules Brace yourself for death! First class flight to your final breath This is Con Air, Con Air, Welcome to Con Air! Bet you could’ve guessed A plane full of killers This is not for the best Here on Con Air, Con Air, Welcome to Con Air! Put the bunny back in the fucking box Put the bunny back in the fucking box Put the bunny back in the fucking box Put the bunny back in the fucking box

Bangkok Dangerous 01:36 video
lyrics
buy track
I got more baggage than the overhead trays I’ve got more venom than the city of snakes Just a solitary man I play it safe, I hide my hand Just a traveler visiting A strange and distant land In Bangkok Where I keep my mistakes In Bangkok The city’s always awake In Bangkok You only get what you take In Bangkok You can never escape I got more secrets than the city can keep I’ll kill who you want, but it’s not gonna be cheap This city is full of mirrors Every one reflects a fear Just a traveler visiting That’s more than he appears In Bangkok Where I keep my mistakes In Bangkok The city’s always awake In Bangkok You only get what you take In Bangkok You can never escape You can never escape

Leaving Las Vegas 02:57 video
lyrics
buy track
I came here to drink myself to death And I say the right words when the liquor hits my breath Don’t think too far ahead At the end of the road, already be dead Won’t you take me as I am Won’t you take me as I am Gonna leave Las Vegas without saying goodbye Gonna leave Las Vegas, I won’t even try To the motel to rot myself away And I’m grateful for the moment I know that nothing gold can stay Whatever you do, don’t ask me to stop This is who I am, and I don’t want to swap Won’t you take me as I am Won’t you take me as I am Gonna leave Las Vegas without saying goodbye Gonna leave Las Vegas, I won’t even try Whatever you do, don’t ask me to stop This is who I am, and I don’t want to swap Won’t you take me as I am Won’t you take me as I am Gonna leave Las Vegas without saying goodbye Gonna leave Las Vegas, I won’t even try

about

Inspired by Nicolas Cage's nouveau shamanism acting method, “UNCAGED" is intense, eccentric, and often unpredictable. Blending snarky humour with an energetic and raucous sound, The Bare Minimum trade in their punk points and embrace the surrealism of post-internet irony.

Tracks like “National Treasure” and “Con Air” continue and expand The Bare Minimum’s signature trash punk sound, while “Bangkok Dangerous” leans into thrash metal, and “Leaving Las Vegas” detours into synthwave.

The EP is accompanied with lyric videos for each track and a movie by movie breakdown of Nicolas Cage’s celebrated career.
