Despite Corona-Struggle, the current world situation with its countless political and social trouble spots in various countries deserves more than ever the attention of all of us. On this topic, our Chaostruppe members Migo and Sam have written an exclusive for "Vandals with Headphones" Podcast, inspired by the current protests in Thailand and the collective "Rap Against Dictatorship" active there. Get informed and do it thoroughly, dogmatists and pied pipers are currently experiencing a frightening influx. Democratic, ecological, anti-racist, queerfeminist and anti-capitalist movements around the world have enough common denominators to unite and gain strength internationally. This song is intended to make a modest solidarity contribution to this.
You can find the complete podcast including a longer interview with 8 Chaostruppe members + even more exclusives from Migo, Sam, Tilt, Tiggr & MQ here:

LYRICS
------------------
Sam:
Turkey, China, USA, Poland, Brasil, Russia,
Syria, Philippines, Thailand, Belarus, Hungary.
Era of unprincipled autocrates,
freedom under boots of soldiers or in torture chambers.
While the west guts democratic processes,
Kurds and Armenians are fighting against a genocide in the east.
Steadily we see anger winning over being frightened
and being able to withstand, no matter how much blood is spilled on the asphalt.
Hook 1:
That’s what’s going on in the world
That’s what’s going, that’s what’s going, that’s whats going on in the world
That’s what’s going on in the world
Migo:
Europes old, powerful, no longer beautiful but still rich people
dream more and lucidly of new genocides
They call it the market and the law and their own children ecoterrorists
pied pipers are waiting at the corner with conspiracy theories. I am
more than troubled, we clearly lack
discussions about classes and new perspectives.
Nice that you are still writing, but right now the world doesn’t need
verses about watches and fashion, I cannot respect you.
Hook 2:
That’s what’s going on in the world
That’s what’s going, that’s whats going on in the world
That’s what’s going on in the world
Sam:
Given the state of things worldwide I find unbearable,
that people are whining about their fundamental rights being spurned.
Self-proclaimed «Querdenker» deserve being punched in the face,
even here protesters are sentenced to prison in political trials.
If you’re loud, cops raid your apartment at six
in terms of prevention of terror everyone is a potential threat to the system.
And as long as financial interests fill most of the departments,
only a complete disbandment can end police violence.
Bridge:
That’s what’s going on in the world
Hook 1:
That’s what’s going on in the world
That’s what’s going, that’s what’s going, that’s whats going on in the world
That’s what’s going on in the world
Migo:
The devil is in the numbers, terror lies in the office desks,
humanity towards misery is being factored out by stapler.
Subsidized court jesters, art isn’t political anymore,
when they’re silent in the face of red pencils
Surrounded by water full of dead people and Nazi slogans,
consumption is a local narcosis.
Boats are sinking, Moria is dead certain,
read «Die Schande Europas» by Jean Ziegler.
Hook 1:
That’s what’s going on in the world
That’s what’s going, that’s what’s going, that’s whats going on in the world
That’s what’s going on in the world
Sam:
Covered up shady business worldwide, countries in the hands
of dictators who add up life constraints like products.
You differenciate when looking at power structures,
but just diversify mechanisms that are equal for the most part.
All of us would be global, and of course we are losing vigor,
because bureaus of power do not represent the feelings of the streets.
This is why we shouldn’t stick to building community but proceed to bundling protests,
our abstract pictures can fullfil themselves concretely only on that condition.
Hook 3:
That’s what’s going on in the world
That’s what’s going, that’s what’s going, that’s whats going on in the world
That’s what’s going on in the world
That’s what’s going on in the world.
