Fragmented communities
Staring at their screens in silence
All night surfing til the dawn
Everyone´s hooked on online porn
All the people indifferent to torture
The media gives the thumbs up
To the Gaza slaughter
Shallow no attention span
No empathy for the common man
In Iraq a quarter of a million dead
How do you feel about being misled
The number one surveillance state
Zero regulation and there´s no debate
More lies manufactured enemies
Divided nations need a common foe
A hornet´s nest created by the west
A new world order is the only goal
Look what we´ve become
Brainwashed Britain look what we´ve become
New Jerusalem New Jerusalem
Another twat in the number ten flat
Dancing to the tune of Goldman Sachs
Another knob got the top job
Selling out to corporations
Culture adult entertainment
Calibrated to dumb down
Big Brother said strictly come dancing
And everyone was dancing ´round and ´round
In Iraq a quarter of a million dead
How do you feel about being misled
The number one surveillance state
Zero regulation and there´s no debate
More lies manufactured enemies
Divided nations need a common foe
A hornet´s nest created by the west
A new world order is the only goal
Look what we´ve become
Brainwashed Britain look what we´ve become
New Jerusalem New Jerusalem

Killing Joke è un gruppo musicale britannico formatosi a Notting Hill, Londra, nel 1979. Considerati pionieri del genere post-punk e progenitori del movimento goth rock, hanno influenzato profondamente la scena musicale alternativa con il loro sound oscuro, sperimentale e spesso aggressivo. L'unico membro fondatore ancora attivo è Jaz Coleman, cantante e frontman carismatico noto per le sue performance teatrali e visionarie. Tra i membri storici figura anche Geordie Walker (fino al 2023), chitarrista che ha contribuito a definire il sound distintivo del gruppo. Altri componenti chiave includono Youth (bassista) e Paul Ferguson (batterista). Killing Joke ha pubblicato un'ampia discografia, con album come "Killing Joke" (1980), "What's This For?" (1981) e "Revelations" (1986) che sono diventati classici del genere. I brani più rappresentativi includono "Eighties", "Love Like Blood", "The Wait", "Requiem" e "Pandemonium". Il gruppo ha attraversato periodi di pausa e reunion, mantenendo un seguito fedele e influenzando generazioni di musicisti.

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.
