from Oannes * tribute to «cosmic» songs

Μια ευφυέστατα ρεαλιστική προσέγγιση του «εξωγήινου ζητήματος» είναι αυτή που επιχειρούν οι Stranglers, χρόνια μπροστά απ’ την εποχή τους, στο κλασικό “Meninblack”. Από το άλμπουμ The Raven.

✻

A brilliantly realistic approach to the «alien issue» is this one by The Stranglers, years ahead of their time, on their classic “Meninblack”. From The Raven album.

❝ We’re not here to destroy
We are here to employ
We have come to make you function
So we can eat you at our functions
We are the meninblack
We are the meninblack
We are the meninblack
Information can destroy
So we’ll treat you just like toys
Healthy livestock so we can eat
Human flesh is porky meat hee
Hee hee
We are the meninblack
We are the meninblack
We are the meninblack
We don’t approve of artificial food
We grow you for our own good
First we gave you the wheel
Then we made you live to kill
So the best stock will survive
We eat you all alive
We are the meninblack
We are the meninblack
We are the meninblack
We are the meninblack
We are the meninblack
We are the meninblack
We are the meninblack
We are the meninblack
We are the meninblack
We are the meninblack ❞
