[Music: Embury, Harris; lyrics: Greenway]

Bite the bit, scream till you're blue the face. [x4]

Nice pipe dreams or passive revolution? [x4]

Foot soldiers
With weapons of placarde and banners.
How will they stop the rot?

No standing to reason,
'cause reason is treason -
It doesn't feasible.

No standing to reason,
'cause reason is treason -
It doesn't feasible.

Lie down.
And cry all you can.
The machine rolls over you.

Sing with the song of Napalm Death, Diatribes lyrics!


No standing to reason,
'cause reason is treason -
It doesn't feasible.

No standing to reason,
'cause reason is treason -
It doesn't feasible.

It just don't seem feasible - no!

Black to the NAzi - try pleading affinity
Hands up, boot in, shattering the passive dream.
But is it right to tolerate this fucked democratic process? - no!

Shattering the passive dream

Is it 'cause we like to hear the sound of our voice?
Big-hearted diatribes, just like my dilemma.
Time to return compliments, shattering the passive dream?

Artist Information

Profile:

Formed in 1982, Napalm Death were originally one of the bands that defined the UK hardcore thrash/punk sound of the mid-late 1980s, along with bands such as Extreme Noise Terror and Sore Throat. The band has gone through many line-ups, and many former members have remained significant figures in a variety of musical scenes, both guitar-based and also more electronic/experimental based. Although their debut album "Scum" features appearances by Justin Broadrick (who was also a member of Fall of Because, the band that later became Godflesh, at the time) and Nik Bullen (later part of Scorn), the first "proper" and lasting line up consisted of Lee Dorrian (vocals), Bill Steer (electric guitar), Mick Harris (drums) and Shane Embury (electric bass). By late 1989, Lee Dorrian, whose vocals epitomised the early Napalm Death sound, had left to form another band (doom metal band Cathedral) and focus on his label Rise Above. Bill Steer also left to concentrate on his other band, Carcass. Dorrian was replaced by former death metal/grindcore band Benediction's vocalist Barney Green, and an American guitarist, Jesse Pintado, was recruited from fellow Earache label-mates Terrorizer. Mick Harris left the band some time later and has since been involved in a plethora of solo and joint projects/collaborations as Scorn, Lull, Quoit etc. Over the years, Napalm Death pioneered the grindcore sound, also going in a more death metal direction.
