Orgasmatron, by Motörhead (1986)

In this video, hear Lemmy explain some facts about religion, politics and war and how people use them to fuel their own sick desires or subjugate others because of religion or in the name of it. Tells a lot about what is happening in our world right now…

Orgasmatron Lyrics

I am the one, Orgasmatron, the outstretched grasping hand
My image is of agony, my servants rape the land
Obsequious and arrogant, clandestine and vain
Two thousand years of misery, of torture in my name
Hypocrisy made paramount, paranoia the law
My name is called religion; sadistic, sacred whore

I twist the truth, I rule the world, my crown is called deceit
I am the emperor of lies, you grovel at my feet
I rob you and I slaughter you, your downfall is my gain
And still you play the sycophant and revel in your pain
And all my promises are lies, all my love is hate
I am the politician and I decide your fate

I march before a martyred world, an army for the fight
I speak of great heroic days, of victory and might
I hold a banner drenched in blood, I urge you to be brave
I lead you to your destiny, I lead you to your grave
Your bones will build my palaces, your eyes will stud my crown
For I am Mars, the God of War, and I will cut you down

Songwriters: Peter Gill / Michael Burston / Philip Campbell / Ian Kilmister

BLACK SABBATH - "War Pigs" (Live Video)

Black Sabbath – “War Pigs” (live, 1970)

In the following video, Black Sabbath perform their masterpiece “War Pigs” live at the Olympia Theater in Paris, France (December 20, 1970). This was almost 52 years ago, but it still rings true, in fact every line Ozzy sings is still true word for word. Geezer had it dead-on when he wrote this damn song. This is a lyrical masterpiece. As someone wrote, this is “a stark and grim reminder of how the reckless and selfish decisions of a few would affect the lives of many“. Watch and feel it.

Great Movies: District 9

District 9 is one of these movies that tell you a lot of real-world stories using exotic, if not superficially irrelevant, metaphors. In this case, the metaphor is simple: aliens have come to our planet, but without a clear purpose (peaceful or not). Rather, an alien mother-ship appeared over a South African city one day in 1982 and stayed there until the humans decided to enter and investigate what’s in there. What they found was thousands of alien insect-like beings without a leader, without food, without something to do or go. They looked… stranded thus the human government decided to confine them initially in a camp, called District 9, just outside the city…
