А кто его знает. У Биафры политические выпады всегда смягчены юмором, да и он обычно не просто критикует, но даёт альтернативный путь. Эл же прямолинейно и не всегда заслужено ругает. С юмором у него всё в порядке только когда дело секса касается, а политические тексты у него абсолютно дибильные:
2. Señor Peligro
Señor Peligro
Bush's alter ego
A family of danger
And that's his middle name
Invasion is imminent
Keeping down the dissidents
Killing is his business
And business is game
[Chorus]
Justification
To Cross the Border
Justification
For Law and Order
Justification
To Cross the Rio
Señor Peligro
Señor Peligro
Lost all his amigos
From Chile to Panama
And all points in between
Exploitation
To feed the Corporations
The driving force of any war
Is always based in Greed
Venezuela
Watch your Back
Señor Peligro is on the attack
[Voice Over (Isa Martinez - signed release):]
El Presidente Bush es un Asesino
No cambiaremos sangre por aceite
Gente muriendo por el amor del dinero
Soportarlo es mas gas para el fuego
Preparate para el Señor Peligro
[English translation:
The President is an assassin
We will not exchange blood for oil
People dying for the love of money
Supporting him is fuel to the fire
Prepare for Mr. Danger]
[Chorus]
Всё это можно высказать одной фразой - "Этот Василий Алибабаевич Буш, этот нехороший человек, мне на ногу батарею уронил! Падла!"
И сравним всё это с California Uber Alles:
"California Uber Alles"
I am Governor Jerry Brown
My aura smiles
And never frowns
Soon I will be president...
Carter Power will soon go away
I will be Fuhrer one day
I will command all of you
Your kids will meditate in school
Your kids will meditate in school!
[Chorus:]
California Uber Alles
California Uber Alles
Uber Alles California
Uber Alles California
Zen fascists will control you
100% natural
You will jog for the master race
And always wear the happy face
Close your eyes, can't happen here
Big Bro' on white horse is near
The hippies won't come back you say
Mellow out or you will pay
Mellow out or you will pay!
[Chorus]
Now it is 1984
Knock-knock at your front door
It's the suede/denim secret police
They have come for your uncool niece
Come quietly to the camp
You'd look nice as a drawstring lamp
Don't you worry, it's only a shower
For your clothes here's a pretty flower.
DIE on organic poison gas
Serpent's egg's already hatched
You will croak, you little clown
When you mess with President Brown
When you mess with President Brown
[Chorus]
Бери любую строчку и цитируй. И смешно, и умно в тоже время, и резко, и критично. Одно слово - таллант!
Вот даже Just One Fix если взять:
Blood keeps drinking away
Certain of its destination
Driving through new orleans at night
Gotta find a destination
Just one fix
Life keeps slipping away
Fighting in a war with damnation
Poised, keep cutting away
Im looking in through to salvation
Just one fix
Like if I boarded a train
Trying to take in another station
Join us and the choice will be made
Unless we kill the lie as a nation
Ну первое четверостичье - это понятно, нужна доза в Новом Орлеане, городе наверно не знакомом, и вот идёт поиск дилера. Но каким-то непостижимым мне образом 2-ое и 3-е четверостишье скатываются в банальнейший политический вопль - "убить ложь всем вместе". Очередное перемалывание темы вполне ясно уже раскрытой в в Thieves

"Burned Beyond Recognition"??? Why can't these bands have cool names like when we were kids?
