Dead Kennedys predict the future!

[jestros]

This is about 20 years old.

greetings...
this is the secratary of war at
the state department of the united states...
we have a problem.
the companys want to do something about the sluggish world economic situation...
profits have been running a little thin lately and we need to stimulate some growth...
now we no theres an alarmingly high number of
young people roaming around in your country
with nothing to do but stir up trouble for the police and damage private property.
it doesnt look like they will ever get a job...
its about time wedid something constructive with these people...
we've got thousands of 'em here too.
they're crawling all over...
the companies think time we all sit down, have a serious get together
START ANOTHER WAR...
the president? oh he loves the idea!
all those missiles streaming over-head to-an-fro...napalm...
people running down the road, skin on fire...
the soviets seem up for it...
the kremlins been itching for the real thing for years:hell
afganistans no fun.. so whadya say?...
we dont even have to win this war.
we just want to cut down on some of this exess population...
now look, just start up a draft :
draft as many people as you can.
we'll call up every last youngster we can get our hands on
give 'em some speed
give em an hour or two to learn how to use an automatic rifle
and send 'em on there way...libya?...
el salvador? how bought northern ireland?
or a moderatly repressive regime in southern america?
we'll just cook up a good soviet threat story in the middle east.
we need that oil-we had libya
all ready to go and colonel khadafys hit squad didnt even show up.
i tellya...that man is UNREALIABLE.
the kremlin had there fingers on the button just like we did for that one..
now just think for a minute...
we can make this war so big...soo big...
the more people we kill in this war..the more economy will prosper...
we can get ride of practicaly every one on your dole qeues if we plan this right.
take every loafer on welfar right off computer rolls...
now dont worry about those demonstraters...
just PUMP UP YOUR DRUG SUPPLY.
so many people have hooked them selves on heroine
and anphetamines since we took over, its just like veitnam.
we had everybody so busy with lsd it never got too strong.
keep the war functioning just fine...its easy.
we've got college kids so interested in beer they dont even care
that we start putting manufacturing germ bombs again,
put a nuclear stockpile in ther back yard.
they wouldnt even no what it looked like.... so how bought it?
look-WAR IS MONEY-
the arms manufacturers tell me unless we get our bomb factorys
up to full production the whole economy is going to colapse...
the soviets are in the same boat...
we all think its TIME FOR THE BIG ONE.
so whadya say?!?...ohhh its marvoules....thats exelent...
we new youd agree!...the companies will be very pleased.

i used to love the dead kennedy's

 

[EnderJE]

Umm...yeah.

 

[Mr. dB]

They're just not the same with the kid from "Courtship of Eddie's Father" singing.

 

[jnevin]

I think I'll go out and but another DK CD today. It's bee years since I listened to them. Was that from Plastic Surgery Disasters?

 

[H_T_]

ok, DK.

 

[SoreArms]

now it's 2004
nock nock at your front door
it's the suede denim secret police
They have come for your uncool neice

Come quitely to the camp
You'd look nice as a drawstring lamp
Don't you worry, it's only a shower
For your clothes here's a pretty flower

Die on organic poison gas
Serpent's egg's already hatched
You will crack, you little clown
When you mess with President Bush

America Uber Alles

 

[SoreArms]

In the name of world peace
In the name of world profits
America pumps up our secret police
America wants fuel
To get it, it needs puppets
So what's ten million dead?
If it's keeping out the Terrorists

We're well trained by the CIA
With Yankee tax money in Ft. Bragg
The Peace Corps builds US labor camps
When they think they're building schools

Ha Ha

When cowboy Bush comes to town
Forks out his tongue at human rights
Sit down, enjoy our ethnic meal
Dine on some charbroiled nuns
Try a medal on
Smile at the mirror as the cameras click
and make big business happy-

Anytime
Anywhere
Maybe you'll just disappear

C'mon bleed
C'mon bleed
C'mon bleed
Bleed for me

 

[jestros]

I used to love the DK's. I need to get all the old ones on cd, most are on cassette, I dont even have a cassette player anymore.
JNEV: Its off Give me Convience or Give me Death, the songs called kinky sex makes the world go around.
SOREARMS: thats one of the best, heres the second version, I'll just update a few bits and we can see how history repeats

I am Emperor Ronald Reagan<--Dubya
Born again with fascist cravings
Still, you made me president

Human rights will soon go 'way
I am now your Shah today
Now I command all of you
Now you're going to pray in school
I'll make sure they're Christian too

California Uber alles
California Uber Alles
Uber alles California
Uber alles California

Ku Klux Klan will control you
Still you think it's natural
Nigger knockin' for the master race
Still you wear the happy face

You closed your eyes, can't happen here
Alexander Haig is near
Vietnam won't come back you say
Join the army or you will pay

California Uber alles
California Uber alles
Uber alles California
Uber Alles California

Yeah, that's it. Just relax.
Have another drink, few more pretzels, little more MSG.
Turn on those Dallas Cowboys on your TV.
Lock your doors
Close your mind.
It's time for the two-minute warning.

Welcome to 19842004
Are you ready for the third world war?!?
You too will meet the secret police
They'll draft you and they'll jail your niece

You'll go quitely to boot camp
They'll shoot you dead
Make you a man
Don't you worry, it's for a cause
Feeding global corporations' claws

Die on our brand new poison gas
El Salvador or Afghanistan
Making money for President Reagan<--Dubya
And all the friends of President Reagan <--Dubya


California Uber alles
California Uber alles
Uber alles California
Uber Alles California

 

[SoreArms]

Are you believing the morning papers?
War is coming back in style
There's generals here, advisors there
And terrorists nibbling everywhere
The chessboard's filling up with red
We make more profits when we blow off their heads

Economy is looking bad
Let's start another war when ya get drafted
Fan the fires of racist hatred
We want total war when ya get drafted

Drooling fingers
Panic buttons
Playing with missiles like they're toys
There's easy money, easy jobs
Especially when you build the bombs
That blow big cities off the map
Just guess who profits when we build 'em back up
Yeah, what Big Business wants Big Business gets

It wants a war when ya get drafted
Trilateral Commission goonies laugh
and scheme for more when ya get drafted
Call the Army!
Call the Navy!
Stocked with kids from slums when ya get drafted
If you can't afford a slick attorney
We might make you a spy

Forget your demonstrations
Kids today sit on their ass when ya get drafted
Just a six-pack
And you're happy
We're prepared
For when ya get drafted

holy crap sorearms, Jello Biafra is a genius. You live in SoCal right? Have you ever seen them play?

 

[SoreArms]

"How many liberators
Really want to be dictators"

 

[SoreArms]

holy crap sorearms, Jello Biafra is a genius. You live in SoCal right? Have you ever seen them play?

no, he's mostly doing spoken word stuff now. The rest of the band sued him for the right to tour as the Dead Kennedys but I have no idea who's singing (I guess it's that guy that Mr. DB said) I have no interest in seeing them. Jello likes to team up with other bands a lot, so maybe I'll catch him with a good band one of these days.

Yeah, he's come up here on spoken word a few times, I thought you might be halfway old like me, and went to see them when you were a teen.

I'm a tender 28, so the band was already broken up by the time I got turned on to them

 

[jestros]

I'm 31, but I got into the p-rock scene pretty early so DK was still for a couple years. They just didnt come up into the boonies of WA state.

 

[Jacob Creutzfeldt]

That's funny. I was thinking of the same parallel yesterday.

WTF? I didnt know that. To me, glen danzig is replacable, but no Jello, no DK.

 

[Beachbum1546]

cool but it is common knowledge that war stimulates the economy.
