"There is little hope..." East European truths - Horthy + Tisu (anti-Semitic/Fascist) - revived ‎and brought back home. Facts ignored. Carve your mortal certainty there. Should we have been ‎born/still born/walking sideways unable to make a decision of any consequence. Modern life makes ‎thought an embarrassment. Your true reflection = Junkies, winos, whores. Who's ‎responsible?"
‎(Richey James, The Holy Bible-Tour Book) ‎
"There's a line: 'Horthy's corpse screened to a million'. Horthy was a hungarian fascist ‎military dictator before the Second World War, and the devotion that a fascist dictator can achieve ‎just shows such a terrible flaw in human nature. There's always a chance that it'll be revived, ‎because there's a worm in human nature that makes us want to be dominated."
‎(Nicky Wire, Melody Maker, 27 August 1994)‎
Una canzone sul totalitarismo e su come paradossalmente sempre si alimenti del sostegno delle ‎masse: “Gente piccola in piccole case, come piccoli vermi ciechi, gente di nessun valore. Il ‎sangue degli innocenti massacrati gronda su di noi tutti”…‎



Il meno conosciuto dei dittatori indicati nella strofa di mezzo è Jozef Tiso (1887-1947), un prete ‎cattolico slovacco fondatore del Partito del Popolo che tra il 1939 ed il 1945 fece della Slovacchia ‎uno Stato satellite del regime nazista. Nel 1942 il governo retto da Tiso avallò la deportazione degli ‎ebrei slovacchi richiesta da Hitler. Prima che le deportazioni si interrompessero – pare per ‎intervento diretto del Vaticano – il 75% degli appartenenti alla comunità ebraica di Slovacchia fu ‎trasferito nei campi di concentramento e pochissimi di loro fecero ritorno.‎
Dopo la guerra Tiso fu arrestato, processato e impiccato a Bratislava nel 1947.
I knew that someday I was gonna die
And I knew before I died
Two things would happen to me
That number one: I would regret my entire life
And number two: I would want to live my life over again

Life is lead weights, pendulum died
Pure or lost, spectator or crucified
Recognised truth acedia's blackest hole
Junkies winos whores the nation's moral suicide

Loser - liar - fake or phoney
No one cares, everyone is guilty
Fucked up - dunno why - you poor little boy

We are all of walking abortions
Shalom shalom we all love our children
We all are of walking abortions
Shalom shalom there are no horizons

Mussolini hangs from a butcher's hook
Hitler reprised in the worm of your soul
Horthy's corpse screened to a million
Tisu revived, the horror of a bullfight

Fragments of uniforms, open black ruins
A moral conscience - you've no wounds to show
So wash your car in your 'X' baseball shoes

We are all of walking abortions
Shalom shalom we all love our children
We all are of walking abortions
Shalom shalom there are no horizons

Little people in little houses
Like maggots small blind and worthless
The massacred innocent blood stains us all

Who's responsible? You fucking are!
Who's responsible? You fucking are!
Who's responsible? You fucking are!
Who's responsible? You fucking are!
Who's responsible…‎
