Filth Friends Unite Lyrics
You all know the fucking score
Everybody on the floor
Put your hands where I can see them
We're not playing around
One little move and you're in the ground
We live on our own set of rules
Take everything and everyone down with you
We are a desperate kind
But this is a ruthless time
When I hit rock bottom
I go looking for friends in the filthiest places, yeah yeah
I make ends meet 'cause I'm a bad bad man
When I hit rock bottom, the party has arrived
We won't be taken alive
We live on our own set of rules
Take everything and everyone down with you
We are a desperate kind
But this is a ruthless time
What if they just shut the lights out?
So caught up in your digital world
What happens now?
What if they just shut the lights out?
And all the city lights go black
What happens now?
What if they just shut the lights out?
So caught up in your digital world
What happens now?
Lights out!
Lights out!
You all know the fucking score
Everybody on the floor
Put your hands where I can see them
We're not fucking around
One little move and you're in the ground
Lights out!
Everybody on the floor
Put your hands where I can see them
We're not playing around
One little move and you're in the ground
Take everything and everyone down with you
We are a desperate kind
But this is a ruthless time
I go looking for friends in the filthiest places, yeah yeah
I make ends meet 'cause I'm a bad bad man
When I hit rock bottom, the party has arrived
We won't be taken alive
Take everything and everyone down with you
We are a desperate kind
But this is a ruthless time
So caught up in your digital world
What happens now?
And all the city lights go black
What happens now?
So caught up in your digital world
What happens now?
Lights out!
Everybody on the floor
Put your hands where I can see them
We're not fucking around
One little move and you're in the ground
Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
The song is about the corruption of governments and the recent bills to give the government power over the internet to censor and shut down websites that it disagrees with, along with the invasion of privacy that these bills entitle.
There music video for the song is pretty awesome as well channeling the "Anonymous Movement" signature Guy Fawkes masks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXFWVFzDdvM
Here we are, a little over a decade later, and sure enough, it's happened. We have government agencies overseeing social media platforms. Pick an acronym.
Thanks to Elon Musk and the "Twitter Files", what many suspected became fact, after the absolute suppression of Hunter Biden's Laptop 2 weeks prior to the Presidential Election. There's a list, and it goes on, but this is about the song.
The video is a great illustration. What is going on now isn't what they were ultimately trying to convey, but here we are. With the social media logos in government spaces (not literally of course - that we know of lol).
