KMFDM lyrics


Zombiedriven

I have listened to this band for quite some time and with the elections coming up you can bet they will have a new album out here pretty quickly but I was just listing to a recent album of theirs and this song just strikes a nice little cord with me.  Yes they are quite politically driven but I like their sound anyways. "Stars & Stripes"

A tyrant is a man who allows his people no freedom

Who is puffed-up by pride

Driven by the lust of power

Impelled by greed

Provoked by thirst for fame

Divided and conquered

Gripped by fear

Wishful thinking that it can't happen hear

It's well underways but nobody knows

A repeat of history

That's how it goes

Tell the people that they're under attack

By man-eating foes from mars or iraq

Mobilize outrage

Muzzle dissent

Send in the troops

Strike the pre-empt

Stars & stripes

Learn how to fight

We come together by the dawn of the light

Oh so proudly we hail as the rockets red glare

Stars & stripes

Control the airwaves

Fuel the reaction

Use every weapon of mass-distraction

Turn active people into passive consumers

Feed 'em bogus polls and harebrained rumours

Cut back civil rights

Make no mistake

Tell 'em homeland security is now at stake

Whip up a frenzy keep 'em suspended

Don't let 'em know that their liberty's ended

Everything goes in the desperate states 

The veneer of democracy rapidly fades

Wreak total havoc on all opposition

In any event fulfill your mission

Totalitarian media sensation

You will give 'em domination

Never mind they call you a liar and thief

By now you're undisputed commander-in-chief
