No mercy for the masses

Så här fina var vi när vi gick ut i fredags:

I övrigt så har KMFDMs låt "Dogma" en av de mest elaksmartaste och cyniska texterna ever.

All we want is a headrush
All we want is to get out of our skin for a while
We have nothing to lose because we don't have anything
Anything we want anyway
We used to hate people
Now we just make fun of them
It's more effective that way
We don't live
We just scratch on day to day
With nothing but matchbooks and sarcasm in our pockets
And all we're waiting for is something worth waiting for
Let's admit America gets the celebrities we deserve
Let's stop saying "Don't quote me"
Because if no one quotes you
You probably haven't said a thing worth saying

Sex Drugs God Cash
Sex Drugs God America
We need something to kill the pain of all that nothing inside
Sex Drugs God Cash
Sex Drugs God America
We all just want to die a little bit

We fear that pop-culture is the only kind of culture we're ever gonna have
We want to stop reading magazines
Stop watcing TV
Stop caring about Hollywood
But we're addicted to the things we hate
We don't run Washington and no one really does
Ask not what you can do for your country
Ask hat our country did to you

Sex Drugs God Cash
Sex Drugs God America
The only reason you're alive is because someone have decided to let you live
Sex Drugs Cash
Sex Drugs God America
We owe so much money we're not broke, we're broken
We're so poor we can't even pay attention

So what do you want?
You want to be rich and famous and happy
But you're terrified you have nothing to offer this world
nothing to say and no way to say it
But you can say it in three languages
You're more than the sum of what you consume
Desire is not an occupation
You are alternately thrilled and desperate
Skyhigh and fucked
Let's stop praying for someone to save us and start saving ourselves
Let's stop this and start over
Let's go out
Let's keep going


Sex Drugs God Cash
Sex Drugs God America
This is your life
This is your fucking life
Sex Drugs God Cash
Sex Drugs God America
We need something to kill the pain of all that nothing inside
America
America

Quit whining you haven't done anything wrong
Because quite frankly you haven't done much of anything
Sex Drugs God Cash
Sex Drugs God America
Someone's writing down your mistakes
Someone's documenting your downfall

"Dogma" -KMFDM
