Each nation used to provide its country with security
with factories providing arms for their country
Now multinational companies compete in the arms trade
to serve any customer, maximising the money to be made
So just as farms compete to provide fruit for other countries
so people can live to enjoy the taste of nature
National warehouses compete to provide arms around the world
to aid death
and all hell unfolds.
Our gracious queen
should grasp her crown
and take a good fucking swing at Blair and Brown
for leading her countries to illegal warfare
and trying to pass it off that we're doing 'cause we care.
Now prudence of wars are a redemptive cause
I've never heard such nonsense under international laws
We think we have the right to enforce democracy
when we're weakening ours everyday
What hypocrisy.
We'll be together against this
We'll be forever against this
We'll be together against this
We'll be forever against this
Fuck man
I just woke up to a land where killing is part of every day
and every mind in this intelligent species
is then blinded into the battlefield
like it's natural for us to break instead of build
Unities intrinsic the only cause worth fighting for,
all religions, colours and creeds
Now we are the world and we are the people
We are the world and we are the people
and we will be heard.
We'll be together against this
We'll be forever against this
We'll be together against this
We'll be forever against this
We'll be together against this
We'll be forever against this
We'll be together against this
We'll be forever against this
We'll be together against this
We'll be forever against this
We'll be together against this
We'll be forever against this
The lyrics FANFARE FOR THE CONSCIOUS MAN of ENTER SHIKARI is also present in the album Common dreads (2009)
Enter Shikari è una band inglese di post-hardcore formatasi a St Albans, Hertfordshire nel 2003. Il nome della band deriva da un'imbarcazione appartenente ad un parente di uno dei membri e da un personaggio in una pièce teatrale scritta da Roughton "Rou" Reynolds prima della formazione del gruppo, entrambi chiamati Shikari. Shikari significa anche 'Cacciatore' in marathi, persiano, hindi, nepalese, urdu, punjabi e bengali. La band è caratterizzata da un sound energico ed innovativo che fonde elementi di post-hardcore, elettronica, metalcore e rock progressivo. I loro testi spesso trattano temi sociali, politici e personali, con una forte componente narrativa. Tra i brani più rappresentativi figurano "Gandhi", "Ssswith", "The Last Garrison" e "Constellations". L'album di debutto "Take to the Skies" (2007) ha ottenuto un grande successo di critica e pubblico, consolidando la posizione della band nel panorama musicale alternativo.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
