Auf Kommando wird gejubelt
Wenn er winkend vorüber geht
Er liebt die Menge und den Trubel
Liebt sein Monumental-Schauspiel
Auch wenn zwei Ecken weiter eine Straßenschlacht tobt
Er wird sein Programm durchziehen

Hier kommt der Diktator
Wer ihm nicht folgt, der wird verbannt
Er verlangt absoluten Gehorsam
Von seiner kranken Anhängerschaft

In Gottes Namen
Hält er über euch Gericht
In Gottes Namen
Nimmt er sich das Recht
Dass er euch heilig ist

Er verkündet die ewige Liebe
Und lebt auf einem Kreuzzug
Bei jedem seiner Siege
Reicht er euch Wein und Brot
Auf jeder Seite seiner Bibel
Haftet eine Spur von Blut

Ihr seid seine Schafe
Und er ist euer Wolf
Er sucht nach jedem Opfer
Dass ihm ohne zu zweifeln folgt

In Gottes Namen
Hält er über euch Gericht
In Gottes Namen
Nimmt er sich das Recht
Dass er euch schuldig spricht

Jede Sünde ist bezahlbar
Und Reue nur 'ne Frage von Geld
Sein Ziel ist, dass du dich ein Leben lang
Immer nur schuldig fühlst

Er verurteilt alle Drogen
Und ihr seid im unterworfenen Rausch
Um euer Leben werdet ihr betrogen
Und keinem fällt es auf

In Gottes Namen
Hält er über euch Gericht
In Gottes Namen
Nimmt er sich das Recht
Dass er euch schuldig spricht

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
