ALT: an excerpt from the lyrics of the song The Defence by black midi that reads:
A brothel is a business no different than a bank
As safe and as formal and sanitary
My girls all destined for Hell
Or so says our priest
But find me a Christian who spends as much time on their knees
I don’t know, I think a brothel is a much more ethical business.
I always liked this from the Queensryche song Spreading the Disease:
Religion and sex are powerplays Manipulate the people for the money they pay Selling skin, selling God The numbers look the same on their credit cards
YES! I have always LOVED that line!
Good god that whole fucking album is just SO damn good and is STILL (frustratingly) relevant and on point! It had a big impact on me unlearning a lot of bullshit that I was raised with and opening my eyes. I love it so much and I am super stoked to see it mentioned here!! :)
Easily the best band currently active
have to agree with that. Went back and listened Schlagenheim as well. Maybe just as good?
ohh black midi goes so hard
