Testo Irony. Utility. Pretext. - Algiers
Testo della canzone Irony. Utility. Pretext. (Algiers), tratta dall'album Algiers
They said it's not enough
Just to shoot us down
It's a sound that's systematized
Yeah, it's a noise just to drown us out
But when your time has come
We'll all be there
Just to watch you fall
And then one by one
All the parasites will just fall off
You put your vote in a ballot box
This one's marked UNDP
Inscribe your tyrant's name in blood
Choice is the guillotine
We'll put our faith into Afro Pop
In a decolonized context
Espouse the aesthetes
Contempt for ethos
Irony, utility, pretext
But all you just say
Embrace primitive man
(You say) destroy primitive man
(You say) embrace primitive man
(You say) with our art, we'll transcend again
(You say) destroy primitive man
(You say) embrace primitive man
(You say) destroy primitive man
(You say) with our art, we'll transcend again
You put your hand out to shake
Then they export you in chains
You fought for centuries for change
And they gave you more of the same
They swapped the dogs and the cross
For sublimated forestalling
They changed the names of the boss
Until you forgot who it was
Find your favorite color
So you can wash it out in your hymns
Correcting primitive cracks into straight lines
Superiority is born again
We'll put our faith into Afro Pop
In a decolonized context
Espouse the aesthetes
Contempt for ethos
Irony, utility, pretext
But all you can say is
Embrace primitive man
(You say) destroy primitive man
(You say) embrace primitive man
(You say) with our art, we'll transcend again
(You say) destroy primitive man
(You say) embrace primitive man
(You say) destroy primitive man
(You say) with our art, we'll transcend again
