Lyrics:
-
Big deal maker
Orange entertainer
Swamp it up, gator
Gang of undertakers
Make the new news faker
Swear me in, hater
Here it is, the strategy
We begin with comedy
Make it feel, make it feel real
Sing that simple melody
We’ll be the remedy
The cold golden family
Make it feel, make it feel real
Fuck up the facts that fucked up our facts
-
Follow the tweeter
The red red noosed leader
The great white white white preacher
Third world leacher
With grab the gut features
Shark me up, teach us
Long live the enemy
Here kitty kitty, the fantasy
Make it feel, make it feel real
Kitty cat catch up reality
We’ll be the remedy
The cold golden family
Make it feel, make it feel real
Fuck up the facts that fucked up our facts
-
I rub the lamp, easy
The people’s choice, genie
I get on top, see me
I got me stone, easy
I got the people needy
You swear me in, feed me
Long live the enemy
Here kitty kitty, the fantasy
Make it feel, make it feel real
Sing that simple melody
I am the remedy
I am reality
Eat it up, eat it all up
-

"Long live the enemy." I like that line. So long as there's an enemy to blame for the misery of people, the ones who pretend to protect stay in power.

@jogglenoggle9579 4 ай бұрын

@@TJPproductions1 Nonsense? Plenty of the lyrics have meaning behind them if you look just a little closely. Kitty Kitty is a song about people in power and the things they do to remain in control: "orange entertainers" is a clear nod to trump, and the "Here it is, the strategy, We begin with the comedy" likely also referencing those of his ike (i.e. Boris Johnson), making themselves electable by appearing oafish. The song ends with "Eat it up, eat it all up", a direct message from the songs 'Powerful Figure' about how we continuing sucking up their shit. There are lots of revolutionary vibes in their latest album, I suggest giving a closer listen.

Stage 4 is to introduce them to another buddy who might dig them (extra gig partners help in Witch Doctor reenactments). Stage 5 Rest easy knowing that you're winning at life.

God the dynamics are incredible! Usually songs try to get to the meat quick, but no, this bounces around, recovers ground in a way that gives new effects to a familiar melody, the synths are dragged out long but not too long, and they wouldn’t work if they were any shorter. This is friggin’ epic instrumental music, whack and clever lyrical meter, and the video is wonderfully live-action ‘plus’. Only bummer is the sudden ending (not that it’s not gradually brought on). It goes from loud and intense, to silent. But this song would probably be another three minutes if they redid the ending. And that’s fine with me, I listen to jam bands that go for 20 minutes at a time.

It feels unlikely since De Staat is dutch, but as an american viewer it's really hard not to view this music video as being about the inherent lie in partisan politics; the blue and red, left and right, both sides essentially colluding so that they *appear* to be enemies, but really they have the same interests; hence the 'long live the enemy' line, suggesting that as long as they can publicly point at each other and appear to be opposed, their system works.
