War in outer space
I declare war in a nutshell
War all over the place
War against all odds
I declare war on your inner sanctum
On your blood thirsty gods
All out war on complacent consent
I declare war on the war against drugs
Rape and Slaughter of the innocent
Warmongers and profiteers
War on your dogma dubya
Armageddon's engineers
I declare war on so-called civilization
World trade globalization
Organized desinformation
War on MTV and CNN
Macdonald's walt disney and bethlehem
On christina britney and eminem
On violent unilaterality
On the amassment of murderous high-tech toys
And all crimes against humanity
On corparate.com imperialism
On mindlessly bumbling stupidity
And police-state terrorism
Lyrics are pretty explanatory, best KMFDM song in my opinion.
Truly a great song. Best enjoyed with a good FPS.
Fuckin good song. KMFDM hate Bush--god damn twat head
me like this song
All my goth mates get wet over this stuff, this song always reminds me of them.
This song has a major logical fallacy that is so obvious it's probably intentional: "I declare war on the war against drugs", ect. Although this song clearly comes from a very angry perspective and, hey, anger isn't logical. It is clearly addressing the problems in the world today. I can sympathize from this point of view quite a lot. Sometimes it just makes your blood boil, and the angry tone of the song conveys this very well. I just love how venomously sarcastic Lucia's vocals are when she sings "Worldwar three - be all that you can be". An excellent song from an excellent album--one of KMFDM's best, in my opinion.
There's nothing illogical about it. It's perfectly illogical. The song is all about "declaring war" on things that are useless or harmful while simultaneously satirizing the concept of declaring war on things. It's actually a pretty brilliant song.

The "War on Drugs" is a complete waste of time and money.

Word.

This is a cool song, i love the line "world war three, be all you can be" This song is the intro song on the new crusty demons X A decade of dirt.
Fae, I think you should realize that this is a song which is supposed to show their basic feeling towards a bunch of things rather than an actual declaration of war. "I declare war on the world" doesn't sound like something they actually planned on doing.
The message I feel is in those lines is that they are annoyed with the world, and they are mocking Bush by saying they will declare war on it because it is something they feel should be done differently or improved. Same with war on drugs, stupidity, MTV, etc....
So, I don't think it's really illogical, or at least I don't think it should be interpretted as such, since as you suggested, I do think this songs messages are intentional.
"War on ambassadors of pretense War on MTV and CNN Macdonald's walt disney and bethlehem On christina britney and eminem"
Best part of the song. This is a cool song with an awosome sound, Very good when played really loud, with a big subs.
Definitely a great KMFDM song. The intro kicks, and the entire progression through the sound is great. The only thing that kind of annoys me after awhile is Bush's voice heard throughout the song. Although it does a good job of mocking him, it bugs me after hearing it 1000 times. Great album, great song, great band.
