Today I declared official Depeche Mode day for myself as I
was up early to hear the single Where's The Revolution and I'm impressed. It's a cross between
Exciter, Playing The Angel and Songs Of Faith And Devotion. Maybe a clip of
Delta Machine thrown into the mix. Lead singer David Gahan said the CD (and
song) was politically charged and that message clearly comes through with the
lyrics:
You've been kept down
You've been pushed 'round
You've been lied to
You've been fed truths
Who's making your decisions?
You or your religion
Your government, your countries
You patriotic junkies
[Chorus]
Where's the revolution?
Come on, people
You're letting me down
Where's the revolution?
Come on, people
You're letting me down
You've been pissed on
For too long
Your rights abused
Your views refused
They manipulate and threaten
With terror as a weapon
Scare you till you're stupefied
Wear you down until you're on their side
The train is coming
The train is coming
The train is coming
The train is coming
So get on board
Get on board
Get on board
Get on board
The engine's humming
The engine's humming
The engine's humming
The engine's humming
So get on board
Get on board
Get on board
Get on board
Although fans are bitching and moaning about this song,
calling it an "extension of Delta Machine) I don't agree. The chorus is so
catchy and the lyrics speaks to me, especially in the times we're living in. I
love this song and can't wait to hear the CD Spirit when it's released on 17
March.
