Anti-Flag - Anatomy Of Your Enemy слова песни
10 easy steps to create an enemy and start a war:
Listen closely because we will all see this weapon used in our lives.
It can be used on a society of the most ignorant to the most
highly educated.
We need to see their tactics as a weapon against humanity and not as truth.
First step: create the enemy. Sometimes this will be done for you.
Second step: be sure the enemy you have chosen is nothing like you.
Find obvious differences like race, language, religion, dietary habits
fashion. Emphasize that their soldiers are not doing a job,
they are heatless murderers who enjoy killing!
Third step: Once these differences are established continue to
reinforce them
with all disseminated information.
Fourth step: Have the media broadcast only the ruling party`s information
this can be done through state run media.
Remember, in times of conflict all for-profit media repeats the
ruling party`s information.
Therefore all for-profit media becomes state-run.
Fifth step: show this enemy in actions that seem strange, militant,
or different.
Always portray the enemy as non-human, evil, a killing machine.
[Chorus:]
THIS IS HOW TO CREATE AN ENEMY. THIS IS HOW TO START A WAR.
THIS IS HOW TO CREATE AN ENEMY.
Sixth step: Eliminate opposition to the ruling party.
Create an "Us versus Them" mentality. Leave no room for opinions
in between.
One that does not support all actions of the ruling party should
be considered a traitor.
Seventh step: Use nationalistic and/or religious symbols and
rhetoric to define all actions.
This can be achieved by slogans such as "freedom loving people
versus those who hate freedom."
This can also be achieved by the use of flags.
Eighth step: Align all actions with the dominant deity.
It is very effective to use terms like, "It is god`s will" or
"god bless our nation."
Ninth step: Design propaganda to show that your soldiers
have feelings, hopes, families, and loved ones.
Make it cleat that your soldiers are doing a duty; they do not
want or like to kill.
Tenth step: Create and atmosphere of fear, and instability
and then offer the ruling party as the only solutions to comfort
the public`s fears.
Remembering the fear of the unknown is always the strongest fear.
[Chorus (repeat)]
We are not countries. We are not nations. We are not religions.
We are not gods. We are not weapons. We are not ammunition. We
are not killers.
We will NOT be tools.
I`m not a fucker
I will not die
I will not kill
I will not be your slave
I will not fight your battle
I will not die on your battlefield
I will not fight for your world
I am not a fighter
I`m a human being
