about

From the start we didn't want to be just another protest band. There's so much that's going wrong in this world - it's not good enough to say: OK, I accept I'm a modern nomad, geographically displaced and professionally mobile. We gotta push back the bull..., expose the fake news, stay sane and so, we are "no mad". The world would be a better place if everyone went through a Mental Revolution, stopped the insanity, the lies, the fighting; We need a message to reach the top of our governments, our institutions, our populations. Everyone needs to speak up, to be fair to each other, to be true, to reach out. We need a Mental Revolution to sweep the world.

lyrics

Lyrics:

You might argue we succumbed to temptation
And we are having to own up
As we admitted to in our confession
In fact we were just warming up

Message of redemption
Going to the population
D’we have your attention
Ready for a mental revolution

Like a fish in the sea
Be who you wanta be
Like a bird in the sky
Fly where you wanta fly

Like a man on the moon
Take a step for your freedom
Get a piece of the action
You can choose your destiny…
You can choose your destiny…
You can choose your destination

Here’s to all the kids in every nation
It’s a mental liberation
Join the celebration
Ready for a revelation

What you own will own you
What you leave will love you
What you want will avoid you
So what you’re gonna do?

Don’t let’em interfere
Oh live without a fear
No more condum-nation
Love without premeditation

You might argue we succumbed to temptation
Our contrition shows that we do
As we acknowledged to in our confession
‘r ambition’s to get rid of you

It’s a Mental revolution
Blowing your imagination
Hear the word of wisdom
Can’t you hear, can’t you hear the cries of freedom?

Here’s a piece of my mind
I want peace of mind
I want to live my dreams
I know you know what it means

I’ll never be on a loan
Now you leave me alone
I wanta follow my passion
I won’t consume my destiny …
I won’t consume my destiny …
Won’t consume with moderation

Here’s to the Heads of The United Nations
Message of exasperation
Hand in your resignations
Ready for a mental revolution

All your contradictions
We’re not accountable
Your abominations
We’re not responsible

We are free and equal
It’s not criminal
We reject your fables
It’s our instinct of preservation

Message of redemption
Going to the population
D’we have your attention
Ready for a mental revolution
