"from now on, things are gonna change..."
Did you know that Dave Grohl put together a QOTSA-style metal super group called Probot? He compiled an album's worth of material with tons of guest musicians and put it out about five years ago. It has it's ups and downs, but I have always loved the song "Dictatosaurus". I think it's loosely about the Allies taking Europe back from Hitler in WWII. For one it references D-Day. I love the way the chorus goes, it's really melodic and it soars almost gloriously and yet the meaning of the words is pretty ominous -- i.e. we're coming to kick your ass, motherfucker.
"Dictatosaurus"
all set
systems on and ready
move forward
level reads ok
click, drive
prepare to break away
one target
today is d-day!
soaked in lies and fears
after all these years
when the sun will rise
the monster's gonna die
from now on,
things are gonna change
'cause we know why and how
who you really are
from now on,
things won't be the same
'cause we know what you're doing
and we know where you're hiding
we know everything next step
engage all procedures
code, enter
signal loud and clear
star-shell
sparkling high in the sky
all together
we'll make this dream come true
raised in blood and tears
after all these years
as the sun goes down
a new world comes along
from now on,
things are gonna change
'cause we know why and how
who you really are
from now on,
things won't be the same
'cause we know what you're doing
and we know where you're hiding
we know everything
I don't know why I'm posting this, I just felt like it. How 'bout we say it's because it's Wednesday? Kay? Kay.
