    General CommentDemocracy is founded on this concept... giving equal weight to anyone's opinion... in my case too.. This can lead to disaster... and it has; all values have degenerated, all that was humane is lost. This is for we chose it to be this way, it is comfortable to keep things this way and we do not want to see the truth because we all know we won't like it. It's to easy to just leave things the way they are, and keep walking blind. I sometimes feel hatefull towards myself for not being able to stand up to all this and for having to be part of this circle... Greek democracy has killed man's ability to improve and raise it's soul to higher horizons.. you should know why, it's all around you. How, then can such assholes obtain power...

    General CommentWhen the lyrics start to be discursive, people believe that it might be smart. But FREE SPEECH FOR THE DUMB presents all the people who live in false democratic societies and knows what free speeches mean. - Mean nothing!!! That's the message of old good discharge. Whole Europe suffer of false democracy. And imagine how it looks like in my country - Serbia.

    General CommentThe original version was faster and they didn't say "free fuckin' speech" the last time.

    General Comment'dumb' can refer to someone who cannot speak. I believe this song is a bit of a joke. You never know with discharge.
