Your ignorance
Will be your fall from grace
Martyrs and morons to the slaughter
No one will keep their place
No one will respect your space
How can you not know this?
'Tis the human race
You have no history
Just some political mystery
Some new conceit
Without teeth
All of these walls
That you find around you
All of these walls
So lovingly surrounding you
Hand over your keys
If you don't need these
Go be a friend
A friend and a thief
De-fund your grief
Defend your police
Acknowledge these walls
That you find around you
Acknowledge these walls
So lovingly surrounding you
Locks on your door
What are they there for?
Wires and fences
Are they not divisions and defences?
Protections in place
From the human race
And all of these walls
That you find around you
All of these walls
So lovingly surrounding you
So what have you done or given
That should be so easily taken
By the dumb and lazy at life?
Think once and then think twice
Because this could cost you your life
And all of these walls
That you find around you
All of these walls
So lovingly surrounding you
The martyrs are morons
To the here-after
If slaughter you're after
You'll get your disaster
And all of these walls
Do they impound you?
All of these walls
All of them
They come to protect you
The lyrics WALLS of PUBLIC IMAGE LTD. is also present in the album End of world (2023)
Public Image Ltd. (PIL), abbreviazione di Public Image Limited, è un gruppo musicale britannico formatosi a Londra nel 1978 dal cantante e frontman John Lydon, meglio noto come Johnny Rotten per il suo periodo nei Sex Pistols. Dopo lo scioglimento dei Pistols, Lydon decise di fondare PIL con l'obiettivo di esplorare nuovi territori musicali, abbandonando la rabbia punk in favore di un sound più sperimentale e introspettivo. PIL ha attraversato diverse fasi stilistiche nel corso della sua carriera, passando dal post-punk aggressivo ai ritmi elettronici, influenzati da sonorità reggae e dub. Tra i brani più rappresentativi del gruppo ricordiamo "Rise", "This Is Not a Love Song" e "Public Image". L'album di debutto omonimo (1978) è considerato un classico del post-punk, mentre "Metal Box" (1979) è un lavoro ancora più sperimentale e innovativo. PIL ha avuto un impatto significativo sulla musica alternativa degli anni '80 e continua ad essere una band di culto per i suoi fan.

Do we want to define "I know you know me" a masterpiece? Yes, without a shadow of a doubt for at least two reasons. The first and most evident are the artists who interpret it: Caroline Spence and Matt Berninger, second for the deep and poetic text.
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
