lyrics
Do you hear that old military beat
They're marching through your neighbour hood
They're marching down your street
Do you hear that old nationalist song
How once this country
Was united great and strong
They're standing in the corner ready for the fight
Looking for someone who doesn't look quite right
They're smashing up your windows
They're burning down your houses
It cannot happen here
It cannot happen now
Kristallnacht
Remember politicians shaking their hands
Talking about democracy and human rights
When all they ever want is to rule
Millions of people are forced to leave their homes
The cities are burned down to the ground
Do you see the connection, do you understand
And we're dancing to the same old beat as the history repeats
It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days.
Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago. modestwriggles
