Music Lyrics

[katashy]

I didn't know where to put this so i'll put it here.

 

I love these lyrics, I think they're amazing. It's a very topical subject, and I think these lyrics have meaning and depth(ish).

 

I will not "pretend" these are my lyrics, they are done by a British band called Enter Shikari. I just posted this here to see what everyone else thinks of them.

 

lyrics:

 

Each nation used to provide it's country with security

With factories providing arms for their country

 

Now multi-national companies compete in the arms trade,

To serve any customer maximizing the money to be made

 

So just as farms compete to provide fruit for other countries,

So people can live to enjoy the taste of nature

National warehouses compete to provide arms around the world

To aid death and all hell unfurled.

 

Our gracious queen should grasp her crown

And take a good f***ing swing at Blair and Brown

For leading her country into illegal warfare

And tryna pass it off that we're doing it cos we care

'Now preemptive wars are a redemptive cause.'

I've never heard such nonsense under new international laws

 

We think we have the right to enforce 'democracy'

When we're weakening ours everyday; what a hypocrisy.

 

F*** man

I just woke up to a land where killing is part of every day,

And every mind of this intelligent species

Is led blinded into the battlefield

Like it's natural for us to break instead of build

 

Unity's intrinsic, the only cause worth fighting for

All religions colours and creeds

 

Now we are the world and we are the people

We are the world and we are the people

And we will be heard...

 

We'll be forever against this

We'll be together against this

[Mekii]

It's a common theme, but nothing bad with that, I like it better than those going on the radio every single day.

I haven't heard the band, think I'll give them a try though. :happy:

[SamuraiBushi]

The language is a bit rough and there's pretty much stuff feeling like it has been heard so many times before. Not too creative. Yet, the message is still delivered effectively and the overall atmosphere is pretty good. With a sound composition work this might produce a good song! =)

It's already a son, by Enter Shikari...

[Gamerbird]

I don't think I have heard that Enter Shikari one.

Current favourite song is No Sleep Tonight from their new album :D

[katashy]

This is from their new album, it's "Fanfare for the Concious man." No Sleep tonights good, but I like Juggernauts or maybe Hectic.
