      Please. Their lyrics read like a conversation in a university tavern.
      When they start singing about hordes of migrants storming the West (the great replacement), or how the Sound of Freedom was shouted down as an alt-right conspiracy theory when it actually sheds light on the child sex-slave industry, they'll have my attention.

External power now as compared to the inside energy of 80's post-punk and gothic. Only RLYL deserve respect for not going in that direction.

      The only naivete is this whole sub-thread not seeing thru (and by means of) the lyrics into what the band knows.
      I'll leave the 'illiterate' Zionist-Illuminati drivel to those who know so much to think the band's writing is lame and naive: the band has made many previews and predictions years ahead of what the general population knew, FWIW.

    Sounds like Lemmy singing the chorus lines there.

      Kind of a turnaround from The Wait where Jaz growls like Lemmy through the verses and croons for the chorus.

      I never wore a mask, never took a vaccine, and I feel 100%. I still see people in London (where I live) roaming around like lost sheep, wearing masks. If you trust the govern-ment (mind control) and the corrupt doctors taking the money... then you get what you fucking deserve.
