Lyrics and background

album: do we speak a dead language?

downset's second album I'm very sorry to say that I have no background information to the lyrics from this second album. I am working on more information so bookmark this page and use the reload button now and then. The lyrics themselves should be enough this time.

We need a revolution within ourselves. We need a revolution within our scene. We need a revolution. Do you understand? Do I understand? We need to radically alter the way we conduct our lives. We need to change the way we relate to each other. We need to rearrange our goals and desires. The machine must be destroyed. I mean it. It is no joke. It is no game. It is no lyric. It is no idle threat. It is a war. Wage war. Commit. Agitate. Educate. Speak. Act. Learn. Disobey. Rage against the machine.

Excerpted from Kent McLards no answers magazine, 1990
