LYRICS:
We see through your disguise
False idols in our eyes
We’re stronger
We are the
We ain’t gonna lose no sleep if you hate us
Now we’re in way too deep on our way up
Think we’re gonna stop because a fake don’t rate us?
Boris Johnson cunt aint gonna save us
Keep taxing our wages
We just spit raps in faces
Tryna bridge gaps but we are lab rats in cages
Trapped in
Sick without a vaccine
Contagious
So they wanna stay away from us because of our behaviour
Well I don’t fucking blame ya coz we’re not just entertainers
Stay away from the radius
I spit shrapnel that will give you a face lift
Do you catch my drift?
Hacktivist causing a crisis
Let a politician chat shit as I murder the riff
We see through your disguise
False idols in our eyes
We’re stronger
We are the
The voice of a generation
Lost in discrimination
They step to the stage with nothing to say but waste
The voice of a generation
Lost in discrimination
They step to the stage with nothing to show but fame
Better know we’re setting the pace
Everybody wants money
Nobody wants change
From council estates on minimum wage
How the fuck did we get here on the main stage?
We won’t follow mans lane
Clockwork Orange
They can’t wash my brain
Think I give a fuck about fame?
I’ll be on the road playing shows with my mates
All we need is humanity in this human race
Others see black and white but we see grey
If you read between the lines you can relate
When the kids start shooting at their class mates and their parents blame GTA
Selling guns in shops was the first mistake
So don’t talk to me about fate
We see through your disguise
False idols in our eyes
We’re stronger
We are the voice
The voice of a generation
Lost in discrimination
We are the voice
The voice of a generation
Lost in discrimination
We are the voice
The voice of a generation
Lost in discrimination
They step to the stage with nothing to say but waste
The voice of a generation
Lost in discrimination
They step to the stage with nothing to show but fame....

Ahhh frickin' love those grooves!
I knew you'd be here, you're all over this kinda music xD
You, here? :o ^-^ oh, and i really like your music
Hi Dave! :)
DAVE!
I'm a fucking idiot
Imagine if all the metal heads in the world stopped fucking trashing every band that comes along that gets the slightest bit of recognition, and instead we supported them because hell, maybe they might not be your favorite band, but at least they are still fuckin metal and not the pop r&b bullshit the mainstream media shoves down all our throats. Just a thought
*tips fedora ironically in appreciation of this guys post*
+waffloe although I do like metal
but these guys aint metal?
I would say djent a style of metal
+waffloe i would say its shit
This is WAAAY above everything new out there today. This is taking shit to the next level.
Not really.
Yes really.
Kimmy Bernhorn most definitely
You do realise that this is basically just nu metal with a slightly different sound?
dramapanorama That's like saying country is pop with a southern accent. It's true, but it still sounds totally different.
Feel that groove.
I think doesn't have a great groove. But maybe groove is relative :)
Víctor Manuel Olivares Rodriguez Is After The Burial's groove enough to be called "groove" for you ? IMO these guys are the best in this genre !
Víctor Manuel Olivares Rodriguez Man i don't know, that verse groove is fucking great.
I can't believe this was 8 years. I remember when this dropped and I was so hype
i like it, cause i like rap and metal, and also cause it breaks one of the music industry racial stereotypes, which segregates whites to rock and blacks to rap music, but hacktivist shows that black guy can be in a rock band (ideally he should be singer not rapper), and that white and black guys can rap equally good. time for change in mainstream music media, especially TV.
well said ;) I m really impatient to see what hacktivt has to offer in the future !
Actually English people tend to rap better than any of us Americans.
White OR black.
tehfaceguy no need for discriminating americans.
Look at monuments man
Nu-Djental. And for the people saying that guitars are too easy. Yes they are. But it still sounds groovy and driving. Most of nu-metal bands use really use easy composition
I like how with each release the vocalists develop more individual sounds. Before they released the Hacktivist EP I couldn't tell the difference between the two, now it's pretty clear.
one of the most emotive / thought provoking metal bands out at the moment
Reading 2014 Main Stage \m/
You know. First band playing being the best one :L
The hype is real !!!
Everyone's acting like this band is the second coming of jesus or something. It's literally just nu metal with a "djent" (hate that fuckin' word) influence. This is literally Linkin Park if they were heavier. It's not bad I just don't see how it's so revolutionary.
everything that have rap + metal is LP? Lp didnt invented rapmetal. And linkin never will sound as heavy as this guys
It's not rap metal, I didn't say they invented it either. Nu metal has been around for decades. I also quite literally wrote that they sound like a heavier LP so not sure why you need to state they'll never be this heavy, that's common sense. But thanks for putting words in my mouth and making 0 points, that was cool.
Josh Varga
i call them grime metal
Josh Varga I just made you a question and remark one thing, you dont need to be a dick, that was unnecessary.
Josh Varga is better be dick.
You guys have your own unique style don't change it for anyone this band is fucking great.
Really happy they added some singing in the chorus. Another level of goodness added!
Loving that chorus, this is exactly what I wanted from Hacktivist!
I think they should spend time making a full length album. It'd be the best thing that happened to the listeners. Their stuff is absolutely new and fresh. And true to their name. Hacktivist. And they're using Hacktivism to spread the truth.
So fucking large. Sound, mix, material, FUCKING EVERYTHING just keeps getting better with every release. DO NOT STOP doing what you are doing. Easily the most unique act in heavy music right now.
The Hacktivist full Debut album is one of my most anticipated albums ever. True story.
I like what these guys are doing. They use their music as a weapon, speaking out loud about all the crap in the government, in contrast to rapping about money, cars n prostitutes.
could you imagine if Issues toured with these guys. would be insanity
+glenn lawless never heard of them lol
+Matthew Jones issues - hooligans imo
Personality Cult
+glenn lawless NO!
+glenn lawless that would actually be pretty sick. throw in enter shikari and you got yourself one insane tour
Hacktivist are crazy good, they just put it all together. Maybe Monuments is up there in terms of grooves.
Absolutely love the massive grooves to this! Also the lyrics are fucking badass.
I've been hyped for this song since the video of it being played live in Russia. It definitely delivered.
Love Timfy James vocals, loved him with Heart of a Coward and saddened to acknowledge he is no longer with them.. this isn't too bad, bit different.. Rap mixed with metal
*I remember this epic dude's part again* HELL YEAH
Smashing it guys, so happy to see you lot doing so well for yourselves. Throwback Reading last year, awesome set looking forward to seeing you again soon
Grooves for days.
I've heard this track about 100 times but only recently actually properly listened to the lyrics. Very evocative and insightful.
Hacktivist songs with James on clean vocals are mine favourite. I know some people don`t like them as much as I do, but I still hope this song won`t be the last one with his choirs ;) KEEP IT UP HACKTIVIST!!!
I cant believe i just found these guys! holy shit ive been missing out! A lot of these new bands today do the heavy technical guitar thing but it gets to the point in a lot of them where it gets to technical and it loses u. This band I think has mastered that craft of making it technical while keeping it accessible and engaging. I need an album!
Love the energy. Makes me wanna run and smash into things!!! About time something different is presented! Love it.
People can hate as much as they'd like. I love this band, I love what they've put out so far, and I love this song. Looking forward to more from Hacktivist; that, and a US tour. Bring the beginning of change to America.
Oh my, it's like I've stepped back to the year 2000... I'm not sure I wanted to go back.
Happy Birthday, Hacktivist
Best band @ soundwave 2014 by far blew others off stage even if it was only 11.30am
Love It!!! Can't wait for the full length!!
Best Hackivist song I've heard.
the other day i heard like 20 Hacktivist songs in a row. Later, the main riff of this song stuck in my head, but i couldn't remember the name of the song, so i started to hear them all again... so odd that i heard the start of this song and thought to myself "nah, the song didn't have a soft beginning like this" so i skipped it XD turns out it did have that soft beginning.
I saw them live in France with Limp Bizkit the 9th of June and they were already playing this song as a "prototype" to see fans' reactions and I really loved it ! Since that day I was hardly waiting for the final version and wow... I'm not disappointed , it's even better than I thought it would be , AWESOME ! Hacktivist is definately in my favorite bands top 5.
Awesome! :D Loving the clean vocals in this
This guys cleans were awesome in Heart of a Coward, and they're awesome here. Been waiting for new Hacktivist for ages
A tour with you and Volumes would work so well. Bring it to Australia if you do :)
Was skeptical at first but I think it works surprisingly well
Progressing soo much!
Why do I see no comments about what they are actually saying in the song? I mean, yeah, the song is pretty good, I like it (even though I'm by no means into rap) but the message is also important. After all, ultimately music serves the purpose of transmitting a message in a way that has a deeper impact and wider reach than just words. At least that's my humble opinion...
It's not horrible. I think I'd have to listen to it a few times, but there's a lot of bands I've had to listen to a few times and now they're some of my favorite.
So keen to see you boys on the uk tour!
So pumped to see this tomorrow
Sick. Can't wait for the album!
another amazing tune! You guys are going huge!
Thoroughly enjoy
good job on making a tune so sick! peace and love from the Philippines!!!
This song is soooo fucking good, I love all their stuff and I even got to rock out on stage for their final song in Warrington and I was in total euphoria om stage with these guys, about 10 fans came up with me and we was singing niggas in paris all together to close out the show, mental!
THAT TUNE!
Love it lads, see you at Reading!
Cannot wait for the new album
YES. Timfyyyy ladddddd
this is sick. love the new sounds and clean vox too. groove is always tight with u guys :-)
reminds me of Senser who was around in the 90's this is pretty fucking good
I don't care what it is, it sounds awesome!
This is the best thing I've heard in a while
This band blows my fucking mind. I love every song and I NEVER thought I'd say that about a rap metal band.
If it's gonna be rap at least it's got metal with it.
Yeah perfect combination
Dammit, Bobby!
***** I sure do I tell you what. I always have some propane available.
***** Sure, would you like a refill or a new tank and some propane?
***** Then drop on by Strickland Propane, in Arlen Texas and I'll have some ready for you.
This is so intimidating I love it
AWESOME!!! cant wait to see you guys again in november. last time was at the roadhouse in manchester with the algrorithym - AWESOME show
The chorus isnt weak, it's the voice on the chorus that is a bit monotonous. I've heard way worse. Overall, don't like the intro riff, just too generic and expect more from Hacktivist, quite surprised by the chorus, liked it, and the repeat at 2:21 onward is pretty tight. They still have a good sound and I've listened to it 4 times in a row. So I guess it's pretty good
Don't stop giving out the message lads! Tell em how it is!
I really dig the clean vocals here
i'd love to see hacktivist cover german whip
A great band with a real groove to their music, that have written some very truthful and important raps about the state of the world! I saw them live last year and they are just electric, I hope they keep going for a long time!
авесоме
Have a shot for every singular time Ben is seen nodding his head.
The clean vocals... *3*
And some shows in France would be very cool I want to see u live ! ^^
So sick!
Dat track suit doeee
love love love love love love love love
Lol been waiting like 2 years for a new song \m/
Greatings from ALONE band (Poland)! :) Great song!
My Fav!
aren't they supposed to be putting out a new album? where is it?
edit: it's coming out early 2016
+chris martin fuck yea. i was wondering if they broke up or something.
+Mark Medina Yay new hacktivist.
I hope you guys come to the States some day, you guys fucking kick ass
nice. we need more!!!
u are so good musicians !!!
Hitting harder than Tyson on 4 pints of lager :)
Saw these guys supporting Enter Shikari... Seemed pretty good :D
God damn this is so sick!!!
To anyone saying comments involving the phrases 'bunch of chavs' or anything like that then you should really not judge. These guys are from the place I grew up, I know three of them and none of them are chavs. If you don't like the music then go watch something else. Or if you feel to put a negative comment at least make a constructive diss and say what it was that you didn't like about it and how you think they could do it better
+Officialseveremusic Unfortunately Alternative people can be just as critical of others, as a defender of the faith myself i feel the only way to be is accepting of all, even if they choose to wear Umbro. These lads are absolutely next level, hope they get all the success they deserve!
Woow!! this is my favorite (Hacktivist) song now. Sorry for not boarding the dissapointment train
Love it guys
gid gone boys
new vocal sounds great!!!
lads... this is brilliant :D
My life is now complete 😍
Nice one lads, I definitely like this
Groovegasm
Jermain, Carron showed me you band and I fucking luv it.
Man this shit is reel all the way from bama thank u guys !!!!
This is good, it's like Enter Shikari kinda but djent
Awwww skeet skeet, now that's what I'm talkin about!
