Ja, upphittad i källaren, det är den (minns ni Dylans Basement Tapes?), denna Vredessång, eller Song of Wrath. Åtminstone om man ska döma av den amatörmässiga inspelningen. Men den civilisationsskritiska texten är bra, och jag känner för den här låten. Vi har framfört den offentligt nån enstaka gång med bandet (Soggy Bees, ni vet), men sen har den fallit i glömska.
Här i en primitiv inspelning med el-piano:
Song of Wrath
Crazy motherfuckers raping Mother Gaia at their will
Killing us by millions in this bad black drama treading mill
Poisoning our minds for the dollar in their purse
They are handcuffs on our souls, my friend – apocalyptic curse
They want us to believe that lives can be converted into money
That sunshine and rain can be bought, it’s not fucking funny
Trafficking women goods to feed the free market
Children slaving in their factories, parents praying – in the darkness
Consume! Buy or die!
Or you’re doomed! Buy or die!
To feed the guys
With colden eyes
Fooling us all with their lies
I don’t wanna live or die in a world of their making
Where the giving one’s an asshole fool, the hero is the taking
Where greed is god and selfishness the ruling star
Where the meaning of life is a ratrace for a shining status car
More and more! Erasing human values to the core
There´s a hunger in my heart, my soul’s feeling sad and sore
This can’t be the solution, there must be a braver way
Where more means better and the peoples of the world have their say
Consume! Buy or die!
Or you’re doomed! Buy or die!
To feed the guys
With colden eyes
Fooling us all with their lies
