Liberate
When I first heard this song (I think it was last summer) I thought, "Alright. It's about time some of these rock-n-rollers started singing about politics." I seriously thought I would be hearing more of this kind of stuff as sort of a backlash against the Bush administration. It has proven to be an anomoly in the world of new rock as far as I know, because everybody is still singing about bad relationships and bragging about what bad-asses they are. Anyway, I think you'll dig these lyrics. They cleaned it up for the radio, but the theme of the song still got through. Here it is in its raw form.


Liberate your mind
You motherfucker, you're so narrow minded
So narrow minded
Liberate your mind
Now motherfucker, will you liberate your mind
This time

Bold motherfucker
Don't you limit your mind
Can't you see that the pace
Has fallen behind
All the hate in your heart
Will be leaving you blind
So bold motherfucker
Don't you limit your mind
This time

Waiting for your modern messiah
To take away all the hatred
That darkens the light in your eye
Still waiting

"Out of Zion shall come forth a law
And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem
Nation shall not raise sword against nation
And they shall not learn war anymore
For the mouth of the Lord hath spoken"

Waiting for your modern messiah
To taking away all the hatred
That darkens the light in your eye
Still waiting


Disturbed- "Liberate"

2. think incomprensible distortion... and then, distort it...
thier guitar player is talented though at least. its breakneck metal stuff, real agressive, real apoclyptic sounding.
