The epilogue of Nothing To Lose 02: Indignation is a song by KMFDM called ANSAGE.
It's in German (obviously)
here is a VERY loose English translation
ANSAGE (ANNOUNCEMENT)
What has this world become? Everywhere you turn liars, crooks, corruption, control, sleaze and favoritism. The land of the free is in the stranglehold of a few Country-club-nazis, who try with Gestapo-methods to extrude their vision of freedom, in which everyone gets a chip implanted in the neck.
I never liked this “earlier was everything better”-drivel, but honestly, before this oil-profiteer-gang instigated war against the enemies of freedom, formerly known as the ‘war against terror’, it pleased me more here.
I don't think Bill and Hillary like me. At least they never invited me for dinner. And after this Columbine-Story getting personal... but that is water under the bridge... In spite of this I like someone who fucks his intern but although masters himself, more than this reactionary cattle driver.
It is unthinkable what would have happened if they found a KMFDM CD with one of the 19 so called terror-pilots from 9/11. They would have been such a pain in my ass that Columbine would have been a backrub in comparison. CNN and FOX-news would have clapped in their hands in delight: "The supposable super-wretch Käpt’n K was the target of a raid under the control of Homeland-Security in his Kommandozentrale. The offices gained a big hit against international terrorism. Käpt’n K. was already for a long time suspected to snafu youngsters with subversive ideas."
I would probably be sitting in Guantanamo Bay for a few years with a blindfold and taped down earphones which irradiated me acoustically 24 hours a day with “My Sharona” or with Linda Ronstat, Barry Manilow or something clerical. All of them are here in the instruction of the Lord, they SUGGEST that at least. At the same time they are the first who spurn every commandment that was ever carved in stone, abstained from the one with Mommy and Daddy. Shouldn’t they know the Old Testament well enough to know that at least every second commandment violation is punished with stoning?
Alas, the heck with it! If one deals for too long with this he just becomes strange and thinks about things like: "One day there will come a big rain that will wash all the dirt from the streets." In spite of me not being the religious type. Additionally it would anyway hit the wrong ones again, it is always like this.
But in spite of this, giving up is not an option. Wouldn’t it be nice if the people awoke out of their fear-rigor and remember again that they are the people? If they stop putting up with everything and regain their voice? If the thugs were kicked out of the White House, burned down and built on its ashes a public grade school? Commit this little wannabe-cowboy in the Betty Ford Clinic, after that a few months with the rest of his sandbox-friends in Guantanamo Bay and then with a red tie around their necks and greeting-cards between their buttocks then handed over to the Iraqi people as a little reparation.
That is a dream worth living for. Rome didn’t fall in a day and Nixon was in his second term in office before he was unmasked as the little crook who he is in comparison with the plague we are now dealing with.
The hope wants to die, but as long as more and more sleep-clotted eyes open and ask what the hell is happening here, nothing is lost. If we all pull together it’s only the question of a HEAVE HO!
