The Force Majeure Lyrics
on shift from 9 to 5
and then from 6 to 3
steals the soul machine forever turning
class rebellion
under our noses
the boss is feeding on the living corpses
their broken backs call for us to rise
but for now we'll all just smile and sympathize
denied a movement now lost replaced by fear
we ask for nothing less then settle for nothing more
behold the capitalists
bathing in the blood
of the working class
martyrs bleed
until spoken to
vultures get fat from the harness coup
revolution
another empty promise
of the leftist elite
frustration
another soul is crushed
under the rulers feet
and as the boot is forced
into their teeth
our safety
is their defeat
your station has been assigned
your rebellion is well confined
your rebellion is well confined
your rebellion is well confined
your rebellion is well confined
tired doctrines
killing just as many
as the leaders that they decry
their backs all well patted
for a job well done
without the use of their spines
indentured servants
without the shackles
callused hands and drying hearts
rise up and destroy the disease that stole your soul
and then from 6 to 3
steals the soul machine forever turning
under our noses
the boss is feeding on the living corpses
but for now we'll all just smile and sympathize
denied a movement now lost replaced by fear
we ask for nothing less then settle for nothing more
bathing in the blood
of the working class
until spoken to
vultures get fat from the harness coup
another empty promise
of the leftist elite
frustration
another soul is crushed
under the rulers feet
into their teeth
our safety
is their defeat
your rebellion is well confined
your rebellion is well confined
your rebellion is well confined
your rebellion is well confined
killing just as many
as the leaders that they decry
for a job well done
without the use of their spines
without the shackles
callused hands and drying hearts
rise up and destroy the disease that stole your soul

pretty self-explanatory... BSF might be communist, but they're a damn fine band anyway :-P
BSF isn't communist. leftist? yes. socialist? probably.
but yeah, this song is basically about all the in-fighting that plagues the left. with all the in-fighting nothing can get done, unlike the right where the get things done.
