300 Mhz Lyrics

in the unlikely event
that sarcasm is an unfitting dress
amnesia proletariat
amnesia proletariat
coughing up the coffins
cotton candy coated teeth
the reflection of your enamel
made no reflection in our mirror

malfunction

these pockets were clinching
all filled with fists
these decibels were rotted
in the canals of my teeth
amnesia proletariat
amnesia proletariat
sharpened on the fucking hides of men
in the full of this moon we will make amends

malfunction
whispered in the ear
300MHz

This may be a far fetched idea here but mhz is the abbrevaiation for megahertz, but pronounce hertz. Mega Hurts. You understand? It goes great with the idea about how Russia was fucking its proletariats. a proletariat owned no factors in production and they made their living selling their own hardships, farming, crafting and such.

Heres something too the line "these decibles were rotted". Cedric uses the other meanings of many words in this case he uses decible in the sense that -A unit used to express relative difference in power or intensity The power of the communist was rotting, just before it fell through.

"The reflection of your enamle" is talking about how the government tried to cover up their persecution Enamel - A cosmetic intended to give the appearance of a smooth and beautiful complexion They covered up their persecution of the proletariat with the "enamel" but people saw through the cover up.

Malfuntion may refer to the down turning of the communist regime.

So yes I think that explains it pretty well. And tsucol no, no way. Don't compare them to Rage. RATM was just tom morello with some musicians around him. RATM was supposedly political, but ask cedric and omar, they will tell you that ATD-I was NOT a political band.

It seems like atleast some people here don't know the meaning of what proletariat is... the proletariat is people who don't offer anything else than their manpower. Anyway I also think that this song is about the soviet union, and i agree with what vacantfademe wrote...but at first i didn't understand "the cotton candy coated teeth"... but after a while it seems obvious for me [since i think it's about soviet] that he is referring to all the cotton fields that they forced people to set up to make the country become more self-supporting around the aral lake (i think that it is the english name for it, (im swedish)) that has made the lake totally drain out... so what use to be the third biggest lake in the world is today more like a puddle in comparison.

its saying that the soviet union tried to cover everything up, hence "amnesia proletariat" a proletariat was part of the soviet working class. so basically i think its about the soviet union. im probably retarded though.
