The band takes aim at Andrew Jackson's role in the massacre of Cherokee tribes, and draws the following comparison, "If Hitler was on the $20 bill/how would the Jews feel?/Trail of tears." The best song, and most over the top of the bunch, however, is the slamming "Jesus Christ Homosexual." "He made us in his own image/Now listen to what I say/Then it's a possibility that Jesus Christ was gay." This song departs from the band's rap-rock style and thrusts forward in pure, frenetic, and in-your-face rock fashion. Another controversial, but very choice, cut is the intense "20 Bill," which is sure to trigger heated opposition. "It's time for you to love one another/It's time for you to recognize your brother/It's time to stop killing our mother/It's time for us to care for each other," lead singers Corporate and Avenger Adawee the Wind bellow. The creeping rap-industrialized "The Bible Is Bullshit," with its church-choir intro, presents a view that's been around for some time: that the Bible is a subjective piece of work written by man that fosters fear, hate, and war. Corporate Avenger takes Christians to task for their enslavement of Native Americans on the rebellious and guitar-crunchy "Christians Murdered Indians." The invigorated song is an assault of rap, rock, and industrial with a touch of goth. This rap-rock outfit is smart, progressive, and supremely radical, and is bound to upset, enrage, enlighten, and inspire audiences with its unique brand of anti-organized religion/government rap-rock. And Corporate Avenger and its album Freedom Is a State of Mind is such a case. Įvery so often, a band comes along that warrants extensive exploration of its lyrics.

Corporate Avenger takes it further than Rage Against The Machine ever did, so who is the real voice of the people? You’ll have to decide.Every so often, a band comes along that warrants extensive exploration of its lyrics. Most of this entire album, ignoring the controversial subjects, is something new and mostly refreshing. They try to make some points, but they fall as they are littered with the chorus and weak harassments.Ĭorporate Avenger sometimes talk out of their asses, but even when they do it’s at least interesting to listen to. The song that will create the biggest stir is “The Bible Is Bullshit” and its chorus ‘The bible is bullshit/ the Koran is a lie/ the bagavad gita did not fall from the sky/ these are the books that were written by men/ they’ve caused wars/ now follow if you can.’ As evil and wrong as you may think these lyrics are, they claim to be only looking for ‘time for you to love one another/ it’s time for you recognize your brother/ it’s time for us to stop killing our mother/ it’s time for us to care for each other.’ The one song that I found to be quite intolerable was “Jesus Christ Homosexual”. It seems to be true anyhow and they make a really convincing argument. My favorite song is “Taxes Are Stealing”. This track is a little comical and actually sounds like Insane Clown Posse. “FBI Files” claims that the ‘war on drugs is a war on people.’ That depends on which side of the fence you fall on. It has a decent melody and seems to be a run at NWA’s “Fuck The Police”. There isn’t much melody for this track, but that changes with “Fault The Police (I Don’t)”.
Didn’t most of us learn something similar in college? Well, I assume only if you went to a state school. ‘I See blood on the hands of the master race’ is how “Christians Murdered Indians”. The biggest problem they will find is that the churches in America have grown more narrow-minded. Some of what they say is true and shouldn’t be much of a surprise to any of us. Will controversial lyrics make or break Corporate Avenger? I have no idea.
