lyrics

DUMBING DOWN

Floods of information
Leaking down the line
Binary existence
Streams among the lies

News and scattered updates
Keep on cutting through
Phony facts and rumours
Claiming to be true

Tell me, who do you trust?
In this semantic turmoil

Dumbing down
This dumbing down
To accept conspiracies
As a tawdry verity
Dumbing down,
This dumbing down
Sex, religion, politics
Filling up your tiny screens

Science's been neglected
In the name of god
Ain't this just a blunder,
A collective fraud?

Superstitious ideas
Exploit all the pain
Centuries of progress
Were they all in vain?

Is faith your cornerstone,
Does it shape your opinion?

Dumbing down
This dumbing down,
To accept conspiracies
As a tawdry verity
Dumbing down,
This dumbing down,
Sex, religion, politics
Filling up your tiny screens

Distort what's real,
Distort what is to be,
Distort what's real,
Distort the factual side

Twist the truth to your own view
View the truth as just a plot

Dumbing down
This dumbing down,
To accept conspiracies
As a tawdry verity
Dumbing down,
This dumbing down,
Sex, religion, politics
Filling up your tiny screens

Nitko neće preživjeti (2015)
by Narednik Lobanja i Vod Smrti

These guys offer a perfect blend of ye-goode-olde-thrash metal and a twisted, deranged sense of humor. Love 'em or pop off in torment! Ashen Divinity
