Liner Notes

As you may know there was an election in the UK last week and this brought into sharp relief for me that we are governed by a uni party system. the new PM committed even more money to the latest forever war in Ukraine.

When did the "left" become the party of war? Who was marching in the street to end the meat grinder of Vietnam?

It is all about money, all about enriching a small elite and the expense of millions of ordinary sons dying for absolutely no reason at all? what was Afghanistan actually for, what did it achieve? Absolutely NOTHING. Well it was a massive transfer of wealth from the US and UK taxpayer to the Military Industrial Complex, there is THAT!

I hate these fuckers with a vengeance and their allies in the media who bang the drum for them.

Lyrics

Well let me tell you ‘bout forever wars
Orwell warned us about in 1984
The enemy constantly changes
The war remains the same

Always rides in on the self same lie
Why should they care it’s your sons who die
The thinnest moral wrapper
To hide their evil scheme

The media sirens, out they ring
So who care as long the till all ring
We are here for the people the little folk
Believe me man that’s one sick joke

Vietnam, Afghan, Libya, Sudan
The list goes on and on
The only common thread to see
Are the dead kids they build their fortunes on

Pre

But you swallow it whole
Every single time
This way for the grinding death machine
Form an orderly line

Chorus

As the world turns
So we die
Millions of people like you and I
Feeding the machine
Block your ears while millions scream (2)

You vote these fuckers in
So you gotta share the blame
They tell you what you want to hear
Again and again and again

And it will never end
We gotta take it to the street
And when we say “not in my name”
We have march on to that beat

If you are on the same as the Main Stream Media, UN, WEF, FBI, NSA, CDC, CIA, Big Tech, Big Pharma

Then you are probably not the resistance

So Very True. There's a lot of similar stuff... that takes place...privatizing prisons and education, for example. Criminals getting more time in prison cause it pays someone.

so excited to hear the outrage return to david's music. i love his brave, non-conformist truth resound once again. david is my favorite of fawm's protest singers as he does not ally himself with any media-generated perspective, but sees totalitatian evil for what it is , and spares none of the culprits.
