Name: Fake News
Duration: P00H03M11S
Description: Rock Nummer mit Sleaze Anleihen. Es geht um das sog. Overton Window oder überhaupt um die Verrohung der Sprache. Die Waffe der rechten Parteien, mit andauernder Hetz-Rede die Sprache so lange zu vergiften, bis ein rauher Umgangston zur Tagesordnung gehört und Unsagbares plötzlich zum Tages-Jargon zählen kann. Eigentlich sollte man den Tweets der bekannten Personen keine Plattform bieten.

lyrics

Again they speak out the unthinkable
We‘ve got used to the radical
A line of action to trick our brains
To ignore - it’s just in vain

And all the things they need to know
it‘s all over town
to achieve the only goal
to spread their hate around

Fake News - Fake News
Sad but true - it‘s the weapon they choose
Fake News - Fake News
Read between the lines
It‘s up to you
Its the gossip from the gutter
Not true - it doesn‘t matter
Fake news the weapon they choose
Fake news - fake news

´cause of all the things you ever said
are based on a lying braid
push that window to the edge
to a bitter end

Did you hear it
Did you read it
No that‘s not true

Nothing but lies
and deceit - so do you?

Algorithm & Blues

supported by 4 fans who also own “Fake News”

These dudes are just awesome. Sleaze meets hard rock meets punk rock meets sleaze meets boooom.... Simply every song an absolute smash hit. Not only do these guys master their instruments, but they are starting to rival the big bands in the genre. So far my favorite album of the band. falkdanger
