(International) Noise Conspiracy : Capitalism Stole My Virginity
Nothing new maybe, but we’ll join you on the barricades anyway brother.
So do you remember the first time? The first time The Man gave you a good stuffing, that is. He might have been dressed as Ronald McDonald. You couldn’t forget it – big shoes, smell of chip fat… Never mind, these angry Swedes remember, and they’re putting the actual molotovs-and-pamphlets rebellion into The New Rock Revolution. True to form, they do it with jerky garage rawk and singer Dennis Lyxzen howling "We are all sluts/Cheap products in someone else’s notebook". Well, Den, I’ve checked my notebook, and it actually says you’re like early Manics and At The Drive In fidgeting about tunefully at a May Day protest. Nothing new maybe, but we’ll join you on the barricades anyway brother.
