Napalm Death´s "Distorting the medium"

Napalm Death:"Distorting the medium", (fra albummet "Utopia banished", 1992):

Saturating pre-assuming icon of the youth,
Ways and means to call the shots,
Fingers in the pies which resign us from vacant urges,
Facing the bombardment - no escape!

Stick your intentions!
Parade of puppets
Sickly sweet - you stink of vulgarity!

Sacrifice the faculties,
All you´ve achieved is synthetic scenes.

Next step is to gain approval from those ignore,
Those who recognise the charade,
To fabricate alternatives designed to be expensive
In hand with the regular facade.

Acquire acclaim with plastic actions,
Sickly sweet - you stink of vulgarity!

Sacrifice the faculties,
All you´ve achieved is synthetic scenes.

Fit into the cliche,
A legend in your own brain.
Shooted, motivated only for prestige

A mask for your inadequacy.

Preshaping to what´s required for slick
   Commerciality.
Censored for subversion,
Redundant machine.

Don´t let them mould your identity.

(tekst: Mark "Barney" Greenway)

(Det er så let at glemme Napalm Death´s tidlige udgivelser med Barney i spidsen, når man lytter til de nyere albums fra Birmingham-drengene....Men Napalm var også rigtigt fede i begyndelsen af Barney-æraen, som f.eks. på fuldlængden "Utopia banished" fra 1992. Dyrk lige tracket "Distorting the medium", hvor den nu afdøde guitarist Jesse Pintado i dén grad åbnede for riff-skuffen....Fantastisk medrivende nummer :-)).
