… voller Hass, Diskriminierung, Respektlosigkeit, Ablehnung, Feindseligkeiten, Gewalt, usw. Wir alle wissen das irgendwie und die Welt beweißt es uns jetzt Tag aufs Neue. Genau das haben auch schon viele Songwriter entdeckt und versucht, in ihren Lyrics die Zuhören zum Denken anzuregen. Warum zum Geier kommt es nicht bei den Menschen an??? Bei mir kommt es an, und deswegen ich hab mir nun mal vorgenommen, Songs hier zu sammeln, die genau so etwas ausdrücken! Oder zumindest in Teilen, denn ich schließe nicht aus, dass die gefunden und zitierten Lyrics hier eventuell aus dem eigentlichen Zusammenhang gerissen sind.
Wovenwar – 130
Find me one reason worth this hate
One reason worth this endless violence
Find me one reason worth this hate
Cause I have 130 reasons to change
Three Days Grace – Someone who cares
It’s so hard to find someone
Who cares about you,
But it’s easy enough to find someone
Who looks down on you
Trapt – Repeat Offender
Anyone forgive
Anyone forget
I don’t want a life without respect
Life without respect
Feel there is no where that I fit
No where that I fit
Textures – New Horizon
Asking questions that will change our lives
This is the time to turn the tideWe are going to feel this
We are going to be this
Rise and go against this entity
Rise above the skyAll we can do now is face it
We are done hiding like faceless
Mindless minions
Always driven to maliceBoviniWe’re to adjust our behaviour
I can feel there is something, someway, somehow
That can help disestablish this hierarchyFinding a way to welcome new times
The fear of questions fades
Bad Wolves – Zombie
It’s the same old theme
In two thousand eighteen
In your head, in your head, they’re still fightin‘
With their tanks, and their bombs
And their guns, and their drones
In your head, in your head, they are dyin‘
Machine Head – Bastards
Yesterday I told my sons „sometimes the bad guys win“
And that it made me scared about the world that we live in
But I had to reassure them that it wouldn’t be for long
Sons we have to be ourselves, we have to be strongI said „boys you are the future, so let this be a lesson
There may come a day you have to fight off their aggression“
Cause fear and hatred won today, the darkness ate the light
But both you look in my eyes, it’ll be alright
…
Well I looked out to the world today, thought „what a bloody mess!“
They stripped our morals from us, put ‚em under house arrest
And „liberty“ and „country“ are the words they need to speak
A little „god“, a little „freedom“, if we don’t agree, we’re weakAnd every politician stood there idle and so smug
Empowering the racists and 2nd Amendment thugs
Wall St. and the billionaires, convinced us they’re so smart
Saying „vote with your wallet, instead of with your hearts!“
…
So give us all your faggots, and your niggas, and your spics
Give us all your Muslims, your so-called terrorists
We’ll welcome them with open arms, and put ‚em in our mix
We’re better off together now, embrace our differenceRemember there is love
Our words can stop their guns
Forget the rednecks living in the past
We’re never going back now, we’ve reached critical mass
