Die Los Angeles Industrial Unit 3TEETH hat offenbar einen Faible für Hard Rock. Wie sonst käme man auf die Idee den 1991er GUNS N‘ ROSES Song `Civil War` in eine elektronisch dominierte Version zu überführen? Ja aber damit nicht genug, denn neben musikalischen Vorliebenhat offenbar auch die aktuelle politische Lage in den USA etwas damit zu tun.
So erklärt Sänger Alexis Mincolla:
“’Civil War’ always hit me as a song about how people get torn apart, not just by governments or ideologies, but by the lasting ripple effects of conflict itself. It was written over 30 years ago, and somehow nothing’s changed except the tools of perception management have gotten way more sophisticated. Sure, the faces may change, the flags may change, but the playbook stays the same. History loops like a low-effort rerun, and the remote’s nowhere to be found because the people writing the script want you tuned in and operating at a very low frequency
We didn’t cover this track out of nostalgia. We did it because humanity has this uncanny habit of investing more in ideology than in each other, and that makes us easy prey for the psyops. This cover is a mirror to that cycle. Same bullshit, just in higher resolution.”

Lyrics:
Look at your young men fighting
Look at your women crying
Look at your young men dying
The way they’ve always done before
Look at the hate we’re breeding
Look at the fear we’re feeding
Look at the lives we’re leading
The way we’ve always done before
My hands are tied
The billions shift from side to side
And the wars go on with brainwashed pride
For the love of God and our human rights
And all these things are swept aside
By bloody hands time can’t deny
And are washed away by your genocide
And history hides the lies of our civil wars
Did you wear a black armband when they shot the man
Who said peace could last forever?
And in my first memories they shot Kennedy
I went numb when I learned to see
So I never fell for Vietnam
We got the wall of DC to remind us all
That you can’t trust freedom when it’s not in your hands
When everybody’s fightin‘ for their promised land
And I don’t need your civil war
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
Your power hungry sellin‘ soldiers in a human grocery store
Ain’t that fresh? Well
I don’t need your civil war, oh-oh, yeah
Look at the shoes we’re filling
Look at the blood we’re spilling
Look at the world we’re killing
The way we’ve always done before
Look in the doubt we’ve wallowed
Look at the leaders we’ve followed
Look at the lies we’ve swallowed
And I don’t wanna hear no more
My hands are tied
For all I’ve seen has changed my mind
But still the wars go on as the years go by
For the love of God and the human rights
‚Cause all these dreams are swept aside
By bloody hands of the hypnotized
Who carry the cross of homicide
And history bears the scars of our civil wars
We practice selective annihilation of mayors and government officials
For example, to create a vacuum
Then we fill that vacuum
As popular war advances, peace is closer
I don’t need your civil war
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
Your power hungry sellin‘ soldiers in a human grocery store
Ain’t that fresh?
I don’t need your civil war
I don’t need your civil war
I don’t need your devil’s war
Your power hungry sellin‘ soldiers in a human grocery store
Ain’t that fresh?
I don’t need your civil war, oh yeah
I don’t need one more war
I don’t need one more war, oh no
No, no, no, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah
Wanted to be a rocker
Growing up in the Midwest, we need a lot of critical abuse
So, it humors me since we don’t mind it
And you can take it home
