Simple Minds, Simple Lives

this isnt spitalfield getting political. theyre saying that they are doing what they love and playing music they love and not just trying to write a hit song to make money.

The rest of the new album is wicked amazing, but I gotta say that the lyrics to this song are kind of lame.

Not lame at all. These lyrics take a genre of music to an area rarely explored in this type of music. This is all about Corporate America and how people fall into fads to fit in.

"By enter their avulsion, their copy-cat trends You’ll become a pawn for the rest of their end Drown or die"

I'm not a fan of the Truth Orginization but this song reminds me of it a lot.

" The marketing kings are at it again They're selling you lies, becoming your friend Until the end Irresistible job, a role-playing game, the target is you And they’re taking aim" "Corporate contenders with imperial goals, They’re hitting agendas aren’t always exposed"

I think this song is the middle finger to Corporate powerhouses that flex their influential muscles on weak-minded people. Spitalfield is taking it to a new level

I dont think Spitalfield becoming political can ever be taken seriously.

OMG THESE LYRICS ARE TERRIBLE DONT YOU GUYS EVER BUY THE CD AND LOOK AT THE LYRICS BEFORE YOU POST THEM GEEZ Correct Lyrics:

The marketing kings are at it again! They're selling you lies, becoming your friend. Until the end... Irresistible charm; a well-played game. The target is you And they’re taking aim So step outside.

[Chorus:] We are simple minds, we live simple lives And we’re doing what we love Not trying to just appeal to you It’s when the push becomes the shove And when you peel it All away Is it really true just what they say? Is it really true just what they say? Is it really true just what they say?

Corporate contenders with imperial goals, They’re hidden agendas aren’t always exposed So write this down Buy into their Bullshit, their copy-cat trends You’ll become a pawn for the message they send JOIN OR DIE

Correct lyrics are really important because you are getting the wrong meaning of the song if you don't. For instance they posted:

"And when you feel it All the way Is it really true just what they say?"

When its: "And when you peel it All away Is it really true just what they say?"

Meaning when you take away all the false images that corporations give to young people, will it still sound reasonable.

anyways, I am done, cya

damn, thank you sophie ed...damn people getting the wrong lyrics. why the hell would you drown or die? if you drown wouldnt you already be dieing? it is a threat, sumimasen, from corporate america, "so join or die"

I really like this song. I like the fact that he is standing up against corporate America and the "advertsing kings" who feed us "bullshit" as a part of their hidden agendas.
