So we're still in our teething stages
As far as politics are concerned
That's fine coming from someone
To whom sensationalism be there only wisdom in words.

A self-proclaimed spokesman
On something to which prior knowledge excedes,
Championing no more censorship,
Then ridiculing our beliefs.

To appeal to your better nature,
Are we to keep our mouths shut?

Easy to discard
Constructive power
At your disposal

Sing with the song of Napalm Death, No Mental Effort lyrics!

When ego's and sales
Outbalance opinions
On the scales.

Using bands
As pawns in your hands
Building up,
Knocking down,
Sensationalize
To suit cheap public demand.

Merging with the gutter press,
You claim to detest.

It's opened it's lid,
For you to crawl in and infest.

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.
