We are all prostitutes - The pop group

Uploaded by Toimia on Oct 18, 2008
First heard this song on ashes to ashes, couldn't find it anywhere online, eventually tracked down a copy and uploaded it to youtube.
Lyrics (http://www.wedigdixon.com)
We Are All Prostitutes
Everyone has their price
And you too will learn to live the lie
Aggression
Competition
Ambition
Consumer fascism
Capitalism is the most barbaric of all religions
Department stores are our new cathedrals
Our cars are martyrs to the cause
We are all prostitutes
Our children shall rise up against us
Because we are the ones to blame
We are the ones to blame
They will give us a new name
We shall be
Hypocrites hypocrites hypocrites

@MrGutley Nick Cave never said he based the Birthday Party sound on this, just that he liked the band. It is possible to like music, or be inspired by music which is different to the music you make. And no-one was posing a competition on their respective song writing abilities.

WE ARE ALL PROSTITUTES!!! EEEEEEEEEVERY ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
-
boy is this song prescient as we enter this corpo fascist neo feudalist suck ass era ... was this song from the 80's?
-
Everyone keeps comparing them to Captain Beefheart. But the truth is that Mark Stewart and the boys didn't even know who the Captain was then. They just wanted to sound like a legit funk band, but it got filtered through a punk/dub style.
-
@Rivendude can't disagree a jot!
-
This is like the perfect mix of Cap'n Beefheart, King Crimson, James Brown and the Stooges!
-
Hard to believe Nick Cave would acclaim this. Even his worst songs are better than this. Apart from a certain noisiness and beefheartness, I can't hear any resemblance to the Birthday Party's much better written songs.

This song was really on Ashes to Ashes?? Primetime BBC1???
-
thumbs up if you hearing this for crookers
