“Each day seems like a natural fact / And what we think changes how we act.”
Gang of Four – Why Theory?
Rolling Stone omschreef de Gang of Four als “probably the best politically motivated band in rock & roll”. Guy Debord, Foucault en Gramsci: deze jongens kwamen overduidelijk niet van de straat. De hoekige punk/funk (met een vleugje dub) zou later succesvol gekopieerd worden door de Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Naar mijn mening kunnen die echter niet in de schaduw staan van de Bende van Vier.
The problem of leisure
What to do for pleasure
The body is good business
Sell out, maintain the interest
Ideal love a new purchase
A market of the senses
Dream of the perfect life
Economic circumstances
Ideal love a new purchase
A market of the senses
Remember Lot’s wife
Renounce all sin and vice
Dream of the bourgeois life
This heaven gives me migraine
Coercion of the senses
We are not so gullible
We all have good intentions
But all with strings attached
Fornication makes you happy
No escape from society
Natural is not in it
Your relations are of power
We all have good intentions
But all with strings attached
The problem if leisure
What to do for pleasure
Repackaged sex, your interest
Repackaged sex, your interest
Repackaged sex, your interest
Repackaged sex, your interest
Repackaged sex, your interest
Repackaged sex, your interest
The problem of leisure
What to do for pleasure
The body is good business
Sell out, maintain the interest
Dream of the perfect life
Economic circumstances
Ideal love a new purchase
A market of the senses
Remember Lot’s wife
Renounce all sin and vice
Dream of the bourgeois life
This heaven gives me migraine
This heaven gives me migraine
This heaven gives me migraine
