I don't usually like when artists mix politics and music, but when a song is as beautiful as "The New Improved Hypocrisy" by The Radio Dept it's hard to resist. It's about their country's Swedish elections being held this Sunday and their current government. It's their second political track since 2008's "Freddie and the Trojan Horse". If political change can happen by releasing music as beautiful as this, I'm all for it!
Here is the track being offered by their label Labrador as a free download (right click, save as to your computer) and the lyrics below.
MP3: The New Improved Hypocrisy - The Radio Dept.
THE NEW IMPROVED HYPOCRISY
Reallocating property
We engender transformation
We’re not concerned with poverty
Just the rebirth of a nation
No time for hesitation
Not even on occasion
This will be our legacy:
A vengeful population
It’s part of our conspiracy
And our motivation
And who needs integration
When we’ve got isolation?
It’s the rebirth of a nation
The rebirth of a nation
We don’t mind democracy
We have our ways around it
This new improved hypocrisy
Will help us to impound it
An old school education
Will show this generation
