about

No other DOO song sounds like this. Musically we wanted to see if it was possible to build a song upon a bassline that never changes. We needed to build the dynamics around the drums, guitars, keyboards and vocals. When we saw that it would actually work we took up a second challenge, the lyrics were supposed to be just words without sentences. So there are no pointing fingers here and it's completely up to the listener to judge what the song is all about.

lyrics

Lyrics:

Hijackers, atrocities, brotherhood in the fatherland
Families of Kings and Queens
Afghanistan over Babylon
Arabic and the Caucasian race
Bali, Baghdad, Chechnya
China, Grozny, Indonesia, Iraq, Israel, Jerusalem
Kabul, Kandahar, Najaf and London Town
Persian Gulf and Russia, United States of America
Sta Eugenia, El Pozo, Atocha
United Kingdom, Tikrit, al Qaeda in Washington
Hammas, Jihad, al Jazeera, CNN
Security Council, United Nations, Mossad, Mi5 and CIA
Jose Maria Aznar, Tony Blair
George W Bush and the Texas Chainsaw Massacre

”I never tried I never lied”
We’ve heard it before
(repeat)

Jesus Christ, Mohammed
Osama bin Laden, Saddam Hussein
David Kelly, Koffi Annan, Buddha’s of Bamiyan
Fundamental terror and Abu Ghurayb
Dubrovka theatre, Downing Street, the White House
Biological and chemical NBC weapons wanted dead or alive
Anthrax, SCUD and desert storms
Infantry, bombers and US Marine
Intelligence, stupidity. Pentagon is marching on
Suicide and Holy War, New World Order, the nine o’clock news
World Trade Center and the Fahrenheit 911

”I never tried I never lied”
We’ve heard it before
