Praise The Tyrant

from Neck Deep In Filth by NECK DEEP IN FILTH

lyrics

(In the 1950s, the then king adopted the idea of a Nepali identity - one religion, one language, one dress. This ethnic nationalism definitely brought pride to certain sections of the privileged public, but it destroyed and continues to wreck the identities of the powerless - those who do not follow the state religion, nor speak the same language, nor traditionally wear the national costume. What he decreed then is used as a yardstick to measure who and what is “Nepali” - anyone not conforming to these standards is immediately a “foreigner”.)

They venerate the dead despot
They lionize the oppressor
Singing the praises of the tyrant
Extolling his delusions

Peddlers of lies

Rather stay divided than be forced to be one
You won’t understand it
Clouded by nationalism
There will be no flag waving
It’s not a world I want to live in
With scum like you

In the guise of unity
In the guise of uniformity
In the guise of homogeneity
You destroyed everything
