Actueler dan ooit, nu hele volksstammen weer blind achter rattenvangers als Trump, Johnson en Wilders aanlopen. Dat ze daarbij in alle gaten genaaid worden schijnt niet uit te maken: I exploit you, still you love me/I tell you one and one makes three.
Het citaat aan het begin is afkomstig van Malcolm X: “And in the few moments we have left, we want to talk right down to earth in a language that everybody here can easily understand.” Het citaat aan het slot is van president Roosevelt uit zijn inaugurale toespraak uit 1933: “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself”.
Look in my eyes, what do you see?
The cult of personality
I know your anger, I know your dreams
I’ve been everything you want to be I’m the cult of personality
Like Mussolini and Kennedy
I’m the cult of personality
The cult of personality
The cult of personality
Neon lights, Nobel Prize
When a mirror speaks, the reflection lies
You won’t have to follow me
Only you can set me free
I sell the things you need to be
I’m the smiling face on your TV
I’m the cult of personality
I exploit you, still you love me
I tell you one and one makes three
I’m the cult of personality
Like Joseph Stalin and Gandhi
I’m the cult of personality
The cult of personality
The cult of personality
Neon lights, a Nobel Prize
When a leader speaks, that leader dies
You won’t have to follow me
Only you can set you free
You gave me fortune
You gave me fame
You gave me power in your God’s name
I’m every person you need to be
I’m the cult of personality
