Trump, AfD und der ganze Affenzirkus. Politische Aussage. Die Ärmsten müssen für den Reichtum einiger Weniger bluten. Das immerwährende Affentheater. Eine wichtige Textzeile: "They are building walls around their land - and higher ones around their hearts"

lyrics

We hear them calling for hate crime
We have seen this before
longing for turmoil and cold times
bay for blood and for war

the hate in their eyes and their radical speech
amass money and power - the poorest will bleed
and their pied pipers tell a pack of lies
to strain the truth for conspiracy

in rank and file - all their puppets march
but we will never give in - we will never give up

It‘s a monkey business
like a Punch & Judy show
are you ready children
are you ready to go

It‘s a monkey business
just a second rate
are you ready everybody
to smash their greed and their hate
but we know how it ends
different minds and torn apart
building walls around their land
and higher ones around their hearts

all their wheeling and dealing - all the dirty deeds
ram it into them - to target their needs
don‘t try to get to the bottom of what they say
but we will never surrender ´til they go away

no final curtain call - no clapping hands
we put the lights down - we stop your plans

Algorithm & Blues

supported by 4 fans who also own “Monkey Business”

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
