| WTF are they going political too? Have you heard their new CD? |
| Why would it surprize you? It's FAR easier to name what celebs haven't been following the pack than it is to name who has. What's really funny is that these people think they are somehow rebels because of their stand on issues. They're just more lemmings as far as I'm concerned. |
| I have heard a few of their new songs but must say I don't always listen to the words so much. I've been to one of their concerts a couple years back. David (the lead singer) took about 10 minutes to go into a little speach mid way through the concert. Most of what he said was "we don't worship the devil and support our troops." Oh and when he says throw up your devil horns.... it is not the sign of the devil, it's the sign for heavy f*ing metal! |

Looked at the lyrics for the new songs and this is the only one I see that is remotly political but I still just dont see it in this song either. More of a lament for better times I think. Land Of Confusion Lyrics I must have dreamed a thousand dreams Been haunted by a million screams But I can hear the marching feet They're moving into the street Now, did you read the news today? They say the danger has gone away But I can see the fire's still alight They're burning into the night There's too many men, too many people Making too many problems And there's not much love to go around Can't you see this is the land of confusion? This is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given Use them and let's start trying To make it a place worth living in Oh, superman, where are you now? When everything's gone wrong somehow? The men of steel, I hate these men of power I'm losing control by the hour This is the time, this is the place So we look for the future But there's not much love to go around Tell me why this is the land of confusion This is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given Use them and let's start trying To make it a place worth living in I remember long ago When the sun was shining And all the stars were bright all through the night In the wake up this madness, as I held you tight So long ago I won't be coming home tonight My generation will put it right We're not just making promises That we know we'll never keep There's too many men, too many people Making too many problems And there's not much love to go round Can't you see this is the land of confusion? Now, this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given Use them and let's start trying To make it a place worth fighting for This is the world we live in And these are the names we're given Stand up and let's start showing Just where our lives are going to |
Eh at the beggining of "deify" George Bush is speaking. It's not bad - just that one 5 second clip, and it is easy to filter out. Unlike Greenday who decided that instead of learning more chords, they would just bash Bush. For a lot of bands, a political message is just a cover for sucking. |
"Deify" All my devotion betrayed I am no longer afraid I was too blinded to see How much you've stolen from me You want to know why I feel so horrified? I let my innocence die You want to know why I can't be pacified? You made me bury something I won't be sleeping tonight I only wanted a blessing made Now I've been labeled a renegade It seems so clear now what I must do You're no immortal I won't let them Deify you They view you as the new messiah Deify you Renew belief in some demented myth (or man) You want to know why it seems the passion has died? We've all been living this lie You want to know why my will has been fortified? You've made me hunger again Good luck sleeping tonight I only wanted a blessing made Now I've been labeled a renegade It seems so clear now what I must do You're no immortal I won't let them Deify you They view you as the new messiah Deify you Renew belief in some demented myth (or man) All my devotion betrayed I am no longer afraid All my devotion betrayed I am no longer afraid I was too blinded to see How much you've stolen from me I was too blinded to see All my devotion betrayed I am no longer afraid I was too blinded to see How much you've stolen from me Deify you They view you as the new messiah Deify you Renew belief in some demented myth (or man) Deify you They view you as the new messiah All my devotion betrayed I am no longer afraid Deify you Renew belief in some demented myth (or man) I was too blinded to see How much you've stolen from me I don't think that the song is really a bash against Bush.. |
This is an old song by Genesis. If you remember the video it had Ronald Reagan among others in puppet form. |

This is the one that got me thinking, not the others. Sacred Life My conviction is stronger today As i fight to uncover your sacred life And the fear isn't going away As the soldiers still die Let the followers know their lives have been sold For the good of your sacred life For the truth to be told And the pain to unfold We must start asking why Don't you know the war is far from over now What a stumbling block we've fallen over now As our brothers die defending no one The war is far from over now Liberation, a moral charade For the cause is a part of your sacred life Damnation a moment away in all the world's eyes It's the doom of us all We give in to control for the sake of your sacred life Complications abound You'll get used to the sound of alarms in your life Don't you know the war is far from over now What a stumbling block we've fallen over now As our brothers die defending no one The war is far from over now Give us a moment of peace in our lifetime [x7] Give us a moment of peace right now Don't you know the war is far from over now What a stumbling block we've fallen over now As our brothers die defending no one The war is far from over now |
Ahh I must have missed that one pretty blatant there. But they still Rock. |
You are bitching about them taking a stand on the war and the president????? If all of us were in a band we would probably sing about the right to have firearms. These are the people you want standing up for you and spreading the word of the people. They say what the elected people won't. Disturbed is an awsome band who I have seen in live concert 3 times and will be going back in December to see again. What do you want them to sing about 40's, bitches, million doller homes, what?????? i think that it is great the they stand for what they belive in and don't back down to anyone. Rock on!!!!!!  Conflict is the one of the best songs i have ever heard.

Don't know about the new one, but this song fucking rocks! (Kinda creepy, too) "Voices" by Disturbed So, are you breathing No, no Are you breathing So, are you breathing No [x2] Wake up, are you alive Will you listen to me I'm gonna talk about some freaky shit now Someone is gonna die When you listen to me Let the living die, Let the living die (say) [Chorus:] Are you breathing, no? Do the wicked see you? You still breathing? You're making me known Are you breathing, no? Do the wicked see you? You still breathing? [x2] What's up, I wonder why Do you listen to me I'm gonna make you do some freaky shit now Insane, you're gonna die When you listen to me Let the living die, Let the living die (say) [Chorus] I can hear the voice But I don't want to listen Strap me down and tell me I'll be alright I can feel the subliminal need To be one with the voice And make everything alright So, are you breathing? Can't you imagine how good going through this will make you feel I promise, no one will ever know There will be no chance of you getting caught They never loved you anyway So come on, be a man And do what you are compelled to do Save Me God! God! [x10] I can hear the voice But I don't want to listen Strap me down and tell me I'll be alright I can feel the subliminal need To be one with the voice And make everything alright I can hear the voice But I don't want to listen Strap me down and tell me I'll be alright I can feel the subliminal need To be one with the voice And make everything alright [Chorus] So, are you breathing? So, do you breathe no, no? So, are you breathing? So, do you breathe no? |
Voices was off the album "Disturbed". The best one of them all... |
Don't read the entire thread or anything? 
|
Speaking of things that ROCK.. I am going to see Judas Priest and Anthrax (original line-up) Sunday night in Moline, Il. SECOND ROW CENTER!!!!  
|
Yeah, to each, his own. Even if that includes hair metal butt rock.  But the Scorpions, now they fucking rock. 
|
I did read it but also said what i wanted to say. I don't like speaking from others words. That is why nothing happens because people just let other speak for them and never open their mouth. |
Does that mean I have to stop listening to The Nuge? He speaks pretty well for me. ETA: I always wanted to tell Sarah Brady to "Suck my Glock!" at 100 decibels. I'll just have to let him do it. |
