Killing Joke - Democracy

Title track from the 1996 album

Killing Joke - Democracy [lyric]

You have a choice, we are your voice
Red, blue or yellow.
We will blow away the green
Another five lane motorway
(You'll never get a referendum anyway)

Funny handshakes. insider dealing
Et in arcadia. arcadia ego
Backhanders and salamanders
A powerhouse that is morally
Mechula
I'm sorry democracy is changing
I'm sorry democracy is changing

I'm not a slogan or a badge
Or a cross in the ballot box
Neither values or objectives
You do not represent my deepest
Thoughts and wishes

Education in obsolete skills
Stereotyping and media projection
Industrial psychologists
Plan a campaign that is financed by
Big business

You have a choice, we are your voice
Red, blue or yellow.
We will blow away the green
Another five lane motorway
(You'll never get a referendum anyway)

@KingCrimson776 I like their 90's stuff and the 80's stuff (well, at least their stuff from 79-85) but i think the last 3 albums they made have been some of their strongest imo. where most people in their late 40's and 50's calm down Killing joke just keep bringing on the assault, its great that they are still around and with the original line up again too!

power, in the metaphysical sense, is the capacity to shape collective will into realising a narrow agenda, but the only way there can be collectivity of will is through coercion. democracy is the ultimate coercive tactic whereby the coerced believe that the agenda they strive to realize is their own. where a pageantry of superficial and extremely limited choice suffices as a platonic shadow of freedom

When democracy, organized people have the supreme power, then it is democracy. When the supreme power rests in the hands of a portion of the people, then this is called aristocracy.

@mujerado i believe in consent of the governed.. i dont hurt anyone or commit any real crimes against anyone or anything.. i dont need or want goverment ordering me around and threatening me with fines, imprisonment and violence if i dont comply with its rules.. and i dont like being forced to hand over money because i own property or work for a living.. those types of laws are for slaves, and its all enforced by the gun

[mujerado]

@longfootbuddy What alternative do you propose? The only government that allows everyone to do exactly what they want to do is no government, i.e,. anarchy. If I'm wrong, correct me and say what it is you want.
