I really thought this was the tail-end part of the song "Monster", from the album of the same name, but it is listed separately.
"Suicide"
The spirit was freedom and justice
And it's keepers seemed generous and kind
It's leaders were supposed to serve the country
But now they won't pay it no mind
'Cause the people grew fat and got lazy
And now their vote is a meaningless joke
They babble about law and order
But it's all just an echo of what they've been told
Yeah, there's a monster on the loose
It's got our heads into a noose
And it just sits there watchin'

Our cities have turned into jungles
And corruption is stranglin' the land
The police force is watching the people
And the people just can't understand
We don't know how to mind our own business
'Cause the whole worlds got to be just like us
Now we are fighting a war over there
No matter who's the winner
We can't pay the cost
'Cause there's a monster on the loose
It's got our heads ito a noose
And it just sits there watching

Some of these old protest songs transfer to today quite nicely.

You could translate them that way,but,the people who wrote them were full of anti-White/feeling-sooooooo-bad-for-niggers attitudes.And ,the ones that are still alive,still feel the same way now.

Hahaha!. Good analysis.

Steppenwolf's Suicide is an aposite theme to raise; Any others surprised by how many self-styled WN's think that Suicide is preferable to going down fighting?

I agree with Steppenwolf's approach expounded in "Born to be wild.........." to fight rather than self destruct.

I believe the song refers to the actions of the country being suicidal. Anti-establishment is not pro-nigger in this case. Niggers wouldn't understand the lyrics...

They (Steppenwolf) were refering to the way government dragged the country into the Vietnam War without a declaration or even a mandate from the people or their representatives. The stupidity and evil of it grew and grew without purpose or end in sight and with no way slow it or stop its course. 50,000+ American kids turned into worm-food for what?
Government unconstrained by the people it purports to represent is a monster.

In the same way but far worse still, the people of the countries involved (coalition of the coerced) do not favor being hauled into the Jews' war against Iraq and the Muslim world. If they weren't kept unaware of the War's true intent and its causative agents by ZOG and its media they would rise up as one.

I never thought of Steppenwolf as a "liberal" type of band, still don't.

I honestly don't know what the bloody hell you are talking about. :confused:



Steppenwolf never had any anti-White/pro-nigger sentiments in their songs. At least not any of the ones I've heard, and I've got all but one of their original albums.



John Kay is German by birth, and, from everything I've seen, seems to live what Theodore Roosevelt called "the strenuous life". He grew up in post-war Germany, under Communist occupation, a fact which is attested to in the song, "Renegade", from the STEPPENWOLF 7 album.



Frankly, if any "mainstream" band is sympathetic to our cause, I would think Steppenwolf would be it. ;)

If anything they were proto-heavy-metal. They may have coined the phrase. On Born to be Wild, don't they say, "heavy-metal thunder..."?

I listened to them and didn't pay much attention to the liberal bands of the day like Dylan, Baez, et al.
