• muzikalite acisindan zengin olmasinin yaninda gayet sade ve oturakli sarki sozleri de ureten bir gruptur benim gozumde. sarki sozlerinin siirsel yani o kadar carpici olmayabilir ama degindikleri sosyal ve aktuel konularda yaptiklari kisa ve oz tepkilerle politik olarak da bilincli bir gruptur. zaten geldikleri akim icersinde bunun biraz da oncusudurler. kendi kokenlerini ve gecmislerini de devamli sorgularlar.
  
  "in africa, music is not an art form as much as it is a means of communication.
  (a negro has got no name)
  quite often, the words of the song are meaningless
  we are wearing the name of our master" ---- history lesson (time's up)
  
  "history's a lie that they teach you in school
  a fraudulent view called the golden rule
  a peaceful land that was born civilized
  was robbed of its riches, its freedom, its pride" ----- pride (time's up)
  
  sosyal konulardaki duyarliklari da barizdir.
  
  "tv telling me we're just the same
  what they're talking is the same old game
  tell me if i'm just like you, why can't i do the things
  that you do ?
  if war's the key, what door will it open?
  is peace the answer, then what's the question?" ---- fight the fight (time's up)
  
  "they say the future...it's on a microchip
  don't you know we're all on a sinking ship
  only ten percent control all the rest
  only ten percent decide what is best" ----- information overload (time's up)
  
  "i've gotta have more and more, what i got
  that's what they make money for, what i got
  i sold my soul like a whore, what i got
  i will never be satisfied"----- never satisfied (stain)
  
  "we hate each other 'cause of race and religion
  we hate each other 'cause of class and position
  we want to know why is love so hard to come by
  give me a reason why you love so hard to try
  
  the walls between us all must fall
  
  we hate each other 'cause we dance to different music
  we hate each other 'cause we think we know it all
  we hate each other 'cause that's what our parents taught us
  we hate each other for no reason at all" ----- wall (stain)
  
  "i see the starving africans on tv
  i feel it has nothing to do with me
  i sent my twenty dollars to live-aid
  i've aided my guilty conscience to go away" ----- go away (stain)
