You’ve just released your third album to intense critical acclaim and sales that significantly beat expectation and had your video exposed to a wider audience with a rotation on MTV , what do you do next? If you are anarchist-punk band Refused, you realize that rock stardom is incompatible with your beliefs and you break up. 1998’s The Shape of Punk to Come was prophetic … an album that no one expected and that influenced every hardcore band on the horizon. The Deadly Rhythm is one of the standout tracks on this exceptional album… if you love hardcore punk this song is nothing new to you but even if you are not a fan of the genera it’s hard not to fall in love with this song as the band fuses hardcore so intense that it can melt faces with jazz so cool it might freeze your soul.
(refused)
This union that made us powerless is talking over our heads
Claiming prosperity in a downward spiral plan
Stuck by the deadly rhythm of the production lineS
tuck by the deadly rhythm of the production line
This power that made us unionless is taking out of our hands
Cheapest labor at our expensive cost, auctioned our lives away
Stuck by the deadly rhythm of the production line
Stuck by the deadly rhythm of the production line
We consume our lives like we are thankful for what we are being forced into
Is it our duty to die for governments and for gods?
Is it our privilege to slave for market and industry?
Is it our right to follow laws set to scare and to oppress?
Is it our gift to stay in line and will it take away the blame?
We can no longer pay the price
We'll get organized
We will no longer believe that working for you will set us free
We can no longer pay the priceWe'll get organized
We will no longer believe that working for you will set us free
