Now the world must listen to our decree,
We don't turn down for anyone,

Got to make it louder,

We don't turn down for anyone,
We do just what we please.
Got to make it louder,

Boasting about how they're the loudest band and won't turn down (like their other song "Kings of Metal").

Insincere Song Lyrics -> Latest Entries
N.W.A.'s, "F*** the Police"
The Insincere Lyrics:
F*** the police [4x]
Why They're Insincere:
While they did bluntly indict the police – particularly the LAPD – for its brutality and treatment of African Americans and other ethnicities, their profane chant felt rather ironic when photos of Eazy-E posing for a selfie with a police officer emerged years later. In fact, Eazy was criticised by his rap peers when he defended one of those who were implicated in the Rodney King incident.

Scary Lyrics -> Latest Entries
Sabaton's, "Ghost Division"
The Lyrics:
Fast as the wind the invasion has begun,
Shaking the ground with the force of (a) thousand guns.
First in the line of fire, first into hostile land,
Tanks leading the way, leading the way.
Charging the lines with the force of a furious storm,
Fast as the lightning, phantoms swarm.
Two-hundred miles at nightfall, taken within a day,
Thus earning the name, earning the fame.
They are the Panzer Elite.
Born to compete, never retreat,
(Ghost Division).
Living or dead, always ahead,
Fed by your dread.
Always ahead as the blitzkrieg rages on,
Breaking morale with the sound of blazing guns...
Leaving a trail of destruction through a foreign land (Waging war with conviction)
Massive assault live to serve the nazi plan (Wehrmachts' pride, ghost division).
Communications broken, Phantoms too far away,
Thus earning the name, earning the fame...
Pushing the frontline forth with a tremendous force (Far ahead, breaks resistance),
Breaching the way for panzer corps (Show no fear, self-subsistent)...
Shaking the ground with the force of (a) thousand guns.
First in the line of fire, first into hostile land,
Tanks leading the way, leading the way.
Charging the lines with the force of a furious storm,
Fast as the lightning, phantoms swarm.
Two-hundred miles at nightfall, taken within a day,
Thus earning the name, earning the fame.
They are the Panzer Elite.
Born to compete, never retreat,
(Ghost Division).
Living or dead, always ahead,
Fed by your dread.
Always ahead as the blitzkrieg rages on,
Breaking morale with the sound of blazing guns...
Leaving a trail of destruction through a foreign land (Waging war with conviction)
Massive assault live to serve the nazi plan (Wehrmachts' pride, ghost division).
Communications broken, Phantoms too far away,
Thus earning the name, earning the fame...
Pushing the frontline forth with a tremendous force (Far ahead, breaks resistance),
Breaching the way for panzer corps (Show no fear, self-subsistent)...
Why:
This song is about the 7th Panzer Division, commanded by Erwin Rommel, that participated in the invasion of Belgium and France in 1940. By the third day of the invasion, the 7th along with three divisions commanded by General Heinz Guderian reached the river Meuse. By the 16th of May, the 7th had reached its assigned objective at Avesnes where it was supposed to stop and await further orders, but Rommel decided to press on. On the 20th of May, the division reached Arras where they encountered heavy resistance from the British forces. They reached Lille on the 27th of May which they sieged until the 31st. On the 17th of June 1940, the division was ordered to advance on Cherbourg. The division advanced 240 kilometers in 24 hours, and after two days of battle, won against the French garrison. The speed and surprise they were able to achieve was considerable, to the point that the German high command lost track of the division and thus they earned the nickname “Ghost Division." Singing about how powerful these tanks were is very scary. They could break through land so easily.

Sabaton's, "The Future of Warfare"
The Lyrics:
Standing in the line of fire,
32 will lead the way.
Coming over trench and wire,
Going through the endless grey.
A desolate wasteland,
Infernal depiction of hell.
The birth of a new way,
September 15, 1916.
The first wave approaches,
At Flers-Courcelette.
Through fire and brimstone,
Breaking away, coming your way...
Standing in the line of fire,
Moving on through the fray,
Coming over trench and wire,
Live to fight another day.
The spell has been broken,
A new way to wage war has come.
The future of warfare,
For all to be seen, 1918.
The new world approaches,
Villers-Bretonneux.
Mechanized warfare,
Breaking away, coming your way...
32 will lead the way.
Coming over trench and wire,
Going through the endless grey.
A desolate wasteland,
Infernal depiction of hell.
The birth of a new way,
September 15, 1916.
The first wave approaches,
At Flers-Courcelette.
Through fire and brimstone,
Breaking away, coming your way...
Standing in the line of fire,
Moving on through the fray,
Coming over trench and wire,
Live to fight another day.
The spell has been broken,
A new way to wage war has come.
The future of warfare,
For all to be seen, 1918.
The new world approaches,
Villers-Bretonneux.
Mechanized warfare,
Breaking away, coming your way...
Why:
Another song not to play at a war remembrance service, about the evolution of tanks in the First World War [like Steel Commanders]. Describes the tanks coming towards you.
