DISOBEY GIANTS - 2012

DEAD PRESIDENT$
I’M NOT A FOOL, KIDO, I KNOW MY RIGHT AND WRONG
I AM NOT SICK, KIDO, I DON’T WORSHIP DEAD PRESIDENT$
I AM COLORBLIND, KIDO, GREEN IS JUST ANOTHER SHADE OF GREY
I GOT MY MIND, KIDO, I AM NOT PIERRE LANDRY
AND WHAT THE ONE PERCENT
WHAT ABOUT THE ONE PERCENT
THAT GOT NINETY-NINE ON THEIR KNEES?
WHAT ABOUT THE ONE PERCENT
WHAT ABOUT THE ONE PERCENT
HAVE THEY ALL CONTRACTED THE GREEN DISEASE?
I GOT A HEART, KIDO, THE LOVE I GIVE, THE LOVE I GET
I GOT A HEART, KIDO, ARE THE ONLY CURRENCY I KNOW
I’M NOT A COIN, KIDO, I DON’T FLIP WHENEVER THE WIND BLOWS
SO CRY ME A RIVER, KIDO, I’M GOING WHEREVER MONEY FLOWS
AND WHAT THE ONE PERCENT
WHAT ABOUT THE ONE PERCENT
THAT GOT NINETY-NINE ON THEIR KNEES?
WHAT ABOUT THE ONE PERCENT
WHAT ABOUT THE ONE PERCENT
HAVE THEY ALL CONTRACTED THE GREEN DISEASE?
WHAT ABOUT THE ONE PERCENT
WHAT ABOUT THE ONE PERCENT
ARE THEY ALL DESCENDANTS OF PIERRE LANDRY?
WHAT ABOUT THE ONE PERCENT
WHAT ABOUT THE ONE PERCENT
HAVE THEY ALL THE GREEN DISEASE?
ARE THEY ALL FOOLS?
ARE THEY ALL SICK?

THE CURTAINS ARE DRAWN
ONE LAST COCKTAIL OF HYPOCRACY
THE FINAL SHOW OF THE SPECTACLE SOCIETY
AND WHAT ARE LAST WORDS BUT A JOKE REALLY
WHEN NO ONE HEARS…
THE CURTAINS, THE CURTAINS, THE CURTAINS ARE DRAWN
ONE LAST DOSE OF POLITRICKS
PLAYING WITH LIVES LIKE CHILDREN PLAY WITH LEGO BRICKS
AND WHAT IS JUSTICE BUT COWARDICE
WHEN SOCIAL ISSUES ARE HANDLED WITH ONE LAST VENGEANCE MEAL
THE CURTAINS, THE CURTAINS, THE CURTAINS ARE DRAWN
HI VENGEANCE
HI VIOLENCE
HI VACUITY
HI VIGILANTES
HI IGNORANCE
HI INTOLERANCE
HI INOPERATIVE
HI INSANITY
BUT THE CURTAINS ARE DRAWN
‘CAUSE WHAT ARE WE BUT DECENT PEOPLE
AND OUR EYES ARE CLOSED
(‘CAUSE) JUSTICE IS BLIND AND SO ARE DECENT PEOPLE
(‘CAUSE) JUSTICE IS BLIND AND SO ARE PRETTY DECENT PEOPLE

SLEEPWALKERS INC.
SLEEPWALKERS ON THE STREETS

THE PARTISAN
(Anna Marly / Hy Zaret)
WHEN THEY POURED ACROSS THE BORDER
I WAS CAUTIONED TO SURRENDER
THIS I COULD NOT DO
I TOOK MY GUN AND VANISHED
I HAVE CHANGED MY NAME SO OFTEN
I'VE LOST MY WIFE AND CHILDREN
BUT I HAVE MANY FRIENDS
AND SOME OF THEM ARE WITH ME
AN OLD WOMAN GAVE US SHELTER
KEPT US HIDDEN IN THE GARRET
THEN THE SOLDIERS CAME
SHE DIED WITHOUT A WHISPER
THERE WERE THREE OF US THIS MORNING
I'M THE ONLY ONE THIS EVENING
BUT I MUST GO ON
THE FRONTIERS ARE MY PRISON
OH, THE WIND, THE WIND IS BLOWING
THROUGH THE GRAVES THE WIND IS BLOWING
FREEDOM SOON WILL COME
AND WE'LL COME FROM THE SHADOWS.
L’ENNEMI ETAIT CHEZ MOI
ON M’A DIT, RESIGNE-TOI
MAIS JE N'AI PAS PEUR
J'AI REPRIS MON ARME
J'AI CHANGE CENT FOIS DE NOM
J'AI PERDU FEMME ET ENFANTS
MAIS J'AI TANT D'AMIS
J'AI LA FRANCE ENTIERE
UN VIEIL HOMME DANS UN GRENIER
POUR LA NUIT NOUS A CACHE
L’ENNEMI L'A PRIS
IL EST MORT SANS SURPRISE
OH, THE WIND, THE WIND IS BLOWING
THROUGH THE GRAVES THE WIND IS BLOWING
FREEDOM SOON WILL COME
AND WE'LL COME FROM THE SHADOWS


CITIES ON FIRE - 2011

action, aesthetic, anti-heroes, alive, alert, alarm
amplification, attention, antagonise, atheism

DEAD PRESIDENTS
I’m not a fool, kido, I know my right and wrong
I am not sick, kido, I don’t worship dead presidents
I am colorblind, kido, green is just another shade of grey
I got my mind, kido, I am not Pierre Landry
and what about the one percent

what about the one percent
that got ninety-nine on their knees?
what about the one percent

what about the one percent
have they all contracted the green disease?
I got a heart, kido, the love I give, the love I get

I got a heart, kido, are the only currency I know
I’m not a coin, kido, I don’t flip whenever the wind blows
so cry me a river, kido, but I’m going wherever money flows
and what about the one percent

SISTER RESIST
she’s dancing bare feet
she dances on conventions
she has a smile like a child
she laughs in her sleep
her eyes: an insurrection
she can march for a thousand miles
Sister Resist
her name is Sister Resist
and everything she says
can be turned into a song
she has been my greatest inspiration all along
and you may dance with her
but she writes her story herself
she is freedom incarnated swirling in a dress
Sister Resist
her name is Sister Resist
and you should see her dancing now
I had the chance to dance with her

JESUS' SON
the disease’s eating my veins
the disease’s everywhere inside
I’m bare for you
I’m lying so you can check if I’m still alive
and am I still breathing
or just playing dead ahah
and I am still breathing
living or dying, please tell me now
everyday I rise, I fall, I sink, I rise again

every night I dream, I live, I die, I come back from the dead
everyday I run, I hide, I get lost, I get found
every night I call, I rush, I pay, I want more
I’m looking for the package
we haven’t gone out for a week

and this guy on my couch
I think he’s dead I think I think he’s dead and gone for now
it’s not like we don’t care
but (hear me) we got bigger problems
where is the package?
for Christ’s sake where is the package?
I am Jesus’ son

sometimes it’s a bit of a revelation
sometimes it’s just me, myself and my addiction
I am Jesus’ son

sometimes it’s a bit of a revelation
sometimes it’s just me, myself and my fucking addiction

MEMENTO MORI 
take that pill or die
don’t use butter when cooking
look after your body
watch your weight, watch your weight
find a girl and marry her
two children and a dog not more
on Sunday, mow the grass
always check the door’s closed
never forget to sleep
never forget breathing
the harder you work,
they say, the happier you get
don’t forget you are not able to fly
so stop trying to commit suicide
stop masturbating
only five cigarettes a day
shave everyday of the week
believe in God, he could exist
never ask too many questions
always be nice and polite
try to get some money
and save some for the gravedigging
don’t forget you are not able to fly
so stop trying to commit suicide
they won’t take our lives tonight
don’t take that pill and die
and please forget to sleep
don’t close your door tonight
sometimes just stop breathing

please never mow the grass
and never be polite
don’t save the slightest penny for the gravedigging
try to commit suicide
remember you are able to fly


THE FUTURE
we spend a trillion dollars on weapons every year
we are the future

we are the future
we’re not fight clubbers, we’re not generation A

we don’t seem to give a fuck about what we might or might not change
and more,

all of this has happened before and
all of this has happened before and
all of this will happen again
we’re nothing but silly sheep whistling on their way

to the slaughter
silent spectators of the bullet ballet war lords are playing

they are playing all around the world
we’re no time travellers, we’re not V disciples yeah

we don’t seem to give a fuck about what we might or might not save

all of this has happened before and
all of this has happened before and
all of this will happen again
NO MORE

and we want to dance to the silence
to the rhythm of our hearts
to the rhythm of our footsteps
and we want to dance to the silence
to the rhythm of our hearts
so we can celebrate this silence
and we can start over again, from silence / static
we can start over again



MUSIC IS A WEAPON - 2009

MUSIC IS A WEAPON
20 something cigarettes
and a pen are all it takes
to change the world
to change anything that we ever wanted
the revolution is now
I am writing it down
and I know we can change it all
we can break walls with words
we can destroy nations with letters
create barricades of sound
music is a weapon
we can bring governments down
with drumbeats and notes
we can bring governments down
music is a weapon
sadly it’s not the only one
but music is a weapon
weapon of mass liberation
better than any religion
a revolution without dancing is
a revolution not worth having
to resist is to create
to create is to resist

SOCIAL DETERMINISM AND THE ANTHILL
I am a dying worker ant
crushed by all the weight of hierarchy
(and) while we’re dying down here
queens and kings fly above with their wings
some of us got wings
some of us don’t
whatever your dreams
you might not get what you want
I am a dying worker ant
left for dead within the factory
with the machines still running
those are beasts no worker alone can kill
we went on strike for dozens of weeks
many ants came back ‘cause they were too hung
ry
while kings and queens were busy laughing
‘cause they had too many leaves to eat
some of us got wings
some of us don’t
whatever your dreams
you might not get what you want
our anthill is rotten
from top to bottom
we got to change this world
from top to bottom
so if you feel like an ant
sing along man
YOU'RE NOT AN ANT

MEMENTO MORI

WE ARE NOT DEAD
we can just beg
we can just pray

we have no choice but to obey
we can just kneel
we can just bend
for the execution day only must we stand straight
but we are not dead
we are not dead
we are just slaves
the slaves you don’t want to save
we can just sweat
we can just pay
pay the price of the world you live in
we can just fail
we can just fear

we are 27 millions and you don’t care
but we are not dead
we are not dead
we are just slaves
the slaves you don’t want to save
no one cares
no one cares at all
we beg
we wait
we don’t rest and we don’t dream
we sing
we scream
slavery’s not dead

CASH / CRASH
this thing between you and I
this (thin) line we cannot cross
from stranger to stranger tell me now
this distance, how much does it cost?
we never consider looking at one another
we never consider simply hugging each other
though our shadows merge together on the pavement
we never meet the other’s eyes except for cash or crash
I can see bodies piled-up like cars
hands and feet crushed like metal
blood spilling like gasoline
there must be another way than crashing
we never consider talking to each other
we never consider considering the other
though our shadows merge together on the pavement
we never meet the other’s eyes except for cash or crash
just one look, just one glance,
just one blink, just one eye contact
no more crash, no more cash, no more crash
no more cash, no more cash or crash

THE EDGE OF THE WORLD
I’m standing at the top of a seventeen story building
and beneath my feet, the whole city’s burning

I’m standing at the edge of a bridge that leads nowhere
is it unfinished or broken, who really cares?
I remember when all we could see was snow
I remember when you and me were not at war
I’m standing at the corner of an empty dead end street
empty of souls that’s for sure, but quite full of dead bodies
I’m standing at the edge, the edge of the world
yeah the edge the world that’s all it seems to be
I remember when all we could see was snow
I remember when you and me were not at war
I miss the time when we could play football in the snow
I miss the time when we didn’t have to watch for landmines

MONKEY
monkey think, monkey do
everything they forbid
you do it anyway
you think that you are free
but you’re building up barriers
stop reacting, start acting
freedom is when you create your own life style
monkey think, monkey do
opposing everything
is way too easy
now take some time to think
about what you really need
then follow your own lead
do everything it takes
don’t hesitate to meditate
and bang their walls when needed
stop reacting, start acting
freedom is when you create your own life style
stop reacting
let’s start acting

H.O.S.T.A.G.E.S.
we are hostages
we are hostages
brands are branded on our bodies
we are hostages
we are all the victims
of this huge dictatorship
that is called advertising
buying deceptive dreams we don’t need
we are all hostages
you and me, hostages
mind the crap on the billboard
mind the crap on the radio
on tv shows, on mobile phones,
on every street, on every screen

oh yeah
now the Crap is everywhere
seems like nobody cares
they even bought the word happiness, yeah
we are all hostages
you and me
H O S T A G E S
ladies and gentlemen
this is sliver’s advertising campaign
160.4 ads a day
350 000 ads until you’re 18
we got to kill the billboard
we got to kill the billboard today

KAMIKAZE
all the other insects they hate me
they say I’m weak, I’m not mean, I’m not even angry

all the other insects think I’m a shame
they say I am a corrupted specimen
all the others say I am adopted
they say I should crave blood like babies suck milk
all the other insects think I’m a shame
they say that I should stop thinking by myself
so everyday and every night and every hour
they transmit me a message
and everyday and every night and every hour

the message says, it says:
“the enemy is everyone but your own kin
and now you got to steal, and now you got to kill
for the survival of the race, you got to be a kamikaze”
but I got wings, I can fly away
I got wings, I can do it my own way
I got wings, I don’t have to join the army
the enemy is nobody
the enemy is nobody
the enemy is nobody
you got to be an anti-kamikaze
banish all armies

RORSCHACH (BLOOD IS BLOOD)
my uniform is Rorschached with blood
a butterfly?
an atomic mushroom or what not?
it’s to you to decide
it depends on the size
on the size of the smokescreens
that are filling up your eyes
my universe is Rorschached with blood
a brand new planet earth?
a child swollen stomach or what not?

a round and shiny sun?
an exploding landmine?
it’s to you to decide
‘cause seen from my side:
blood is blood
it always looks the same
blood is blood
it always tastes the same
smokescreens here
smokescreens there
smokescreens here
smoke and tv screens everywhere
blood is blood

GENERAL PROGRAMMING
general programming
suitable for all audiences
general programming
programming stands for conditioning
give me some time now
some time to think
yeah I need
I need some time to think
I need some time to wake up
general programming
general programming of the nation
general programming
conditioning of all the population
“Old George Orwell got it backward.
Big Brother isn’t watching. He’s singing and dancing. He’s pulling rabbits out of a hat. 

Big Brother’s busy holding your attention every moment you’re awake. 
He’s making sure you’re always distracted. He’s making sure you’re fully absorbed.
He’s making sure your imagination withers. Until it’s as useful as your appendix. 

He’s making sure your attention is always filled.
And this being fed, it’s worse than being watched. With the world always filling you, 

no one has to worry about what’s in your mind. With everyone’s imagination atrophied, 
no one will ever be a threat to the world.” Chuck Palahniuk, Lullaby, 2002.
no time left to use my brain
no time left to wake up and create

NEEDLES AND RETINAS

my fingerprints
well they don’t tell me who I am
my retinas
well they don’t make me what I am
so how am I supposed to know
who I am
how am I supposed to know
what I am doing in here
I should stick needles in my eyes
I should set my hands on fire
I should tattoo a brand new barcode on my skin
so I can be who I want to be
WHO AM I

KYOSEICHU [PARASITE]
I live in a bunker
I live in an air raid shelter
I live in a bubble

again and again and again and again
oh yeah they treat me as if I were a parasite
well I Am just looking for a new way of life
oh yeah they treat me as if I were a parasite
well I am just looking for my own way of life

we’re on the market
we’re on the market
just like everything else

THURSDAY
making copies
copies of copies
my body becomes part of the machine
my hand looks like a tool, that’s what it is
everything’s a copy
a copy of a copy
working in a factory and insomnia are the same thing
I myself am a copy of my old man
making copies
from nine to five
I am a machine
today’s Thursday
it could be any other day
Monday to Friday
all days are just the same
making copies
copies of copies
my body becomes part of the machine
everything’s a copy
a copy of a copy
I can’t see the end of it
today’s Thursday
it could be any other day
Monday to Friday
all days are just the same

KAMIKAZE
all the other insects they hate me
they say I’m weak, I’m not mean, I’m not even angry
all the other insects think I’m a shame
they say I am a corrupted specimen
all the others say I am adopted
they say I should crave blood like babies suck milk
all the other insects think I’m a shame
they say that I should stop thinking by myself
so everyday and every night and every hour
they transmit me a message
and everyday and every night and every hour
the message says, it says:
“the enemy is everyone but your own kin
and now you got to steal, and now you got to kill
for the survival of the race, you got to be a kamikaze”
but I got wings, I can fly away
I got wings, I can do it my own way
I got wings, I don’t have to join the army
the enemy is nobody
the enemy is nobody
the enemy is nobody
you got to be an anti-kamikaze
banish all armies
