    Because they've been paying atttention to what's going on. If you're NOT angry, it's because you live in ignorant bliss.

      Please. Their lyrics read like a conversation in a university tavern.
      When they start singing about hordes of migrants storming the West (the great replacement), or how the Sound of Freedom was shouted down as an alt-right conspiracy theory when it actually sheds light on the child sex-slave industry, they'll have my attention.

      +Michael Nicholas The problem with all former 80's cult bands is that you need to turn it loud, otherwise no power at all in their new works. External power now as compared to the inside energy of 80's post-punk and gothic. Only RLYL deserve respect for not going in that direction. A transistor radio is all one needs to listen to Temple of love or Moya.

      I'll leave the 'illiterate' Zionist-Illuminati drivel to those who know so much to think the band's writing is lame and naive: the band has made many previews and predictions years ahead of what the general population knew, FWIW.

    I know I saw this before Covid, and was impressed at the time. Since it was late career, even though I'm the oldest fan, of course I didn't pay much attention. Now of course, it turns out to be a prophetic song. God these guys got a lot done in their lives.
