I can prove anything I'll make you admit again and again I can prove anything The way that it's read again and again

And its only cos you came here with your brothers too If you came here on your own you'd be dead Its only cos you follow what the others do Its no excuse to say your easily lead

You can choose anything You choose to lose again and again You could do anything Why should you do anything again

And its only cos you came here with your brothers too If you came here on your own you'd be dead Winding yourself up until your turning blue Repeating everything that you've read

And here we go with the letter Well can you fix it for me Cos we need entertainment To keep us all off the streets

So tonight you'll sleep softly in your bed

You can try anything And no-one would know apart from you and me You can stop anything It's starts with just one and turns to two then three

Its only cos you came here with your brothers too If you came here on your own you'd be dead Raise a glass or two You raise a fist or two Get a shopping basket wrapped round your head

So here we go with the letter Oh can you fix it for me 24 hour drinking To keep us all off the streets

So tonight you'll sleep softly in your bed

We are the angry mob We read the papers everyday day We like who like We hate who we hate But we're also easily swayed

The Angry Mob is a song that I instantly liked when i first heard it, and always wanted to really know its meaning. This project has given me the perfect opportunity.

=
It is a convincing, energetic and symphonious song, which will make you feel anxious to hear the whole album. It is performed by the English indie band the Kaiser Chiefs. The Angry Mob is the title track to their second album, Yours Truly, The Angry Mob, an album in which the band seems to be more socially aware, as some of its tracks deal with street crime, violence, fame, pursuit of happiness or media influence. Consequently, the lyrics from this album appear to be darker than its precessor’s. ======

=
The main reason why I chose this song is how the band deals with the extremely reproving and objecting lyrics and the way the rhythm perfectly suits them. The verse share a very similar structure, and only some words change, which does not affect the musical aspects such as the rhythm or the beat of the song, but it gives very different meanings. The verses can have two different structures, and there is a pre-chorus and a chorus, which is repeated many times at the end. The construction of the verses is so similar to emphasize the message that the song wants to transmit to the audience. The song is very ironic and satiric, and almost every line has a hidden message. ======

=
But let’s talk about the lyrics’ message. The song talks about the way in which the media and the press encourage knee-jerk reactionary thinking, how society at large controls people using tabloids, or scandal sheet (newspapers with sensational and lurid news) and the 24 hour drinking culture, a society that many times masks alcoholics without even knowing. ======

=
What gives a stronger meaning and makes the message more powerful is how the lyrics indirectly tackles the tremendous lack of personality and own-personal principles in nowadays’ society .The first verse describes how people often misunderstand what they read. The second verse buckles down how people act under the influence of the rest of society, and how they are not confident with their thoughts and beliefs if they are not backed up by their friends or society. It also criticises how people follow what others do, how they desert their feelings, opinion, or even their creed in order to be accepted by their community,and says that lack of leadership spirit is not an excuse to not having a defined and firm personality. ======

=
The following verses talk about how we often “repeat everything that you’ve read” thoughtlessly, without any contrast of information. It refers to the way in which some people strongly believe and go to bat for something that they once read, without considering it twice.IT also attacks society’s laziness, in how we prefer other doing the hard work for us.(“well can you fix it for me”) ======

=
How an idea starts to spread thoughtlessly amongst different groups of people is also criticised, as well as 24 hour drinking culture, that keeps people in bars, pubs ,restaurants, at home( to keep us all off the streets). ======

=
Finally we have the chorus, or refrain of the song, which is a strong and appropriate reflexion or critique to the working class but in an exaggerated way, as if it was what the upper class thought about them.It shows it’s disapproval to how easily people can be brainwashed by what the tabloids or the press say, and how the media can establish who will be their heroes and their enemies, but as if it was what rich people thought about common labourer’s ,about THE ANGRY MOB. ======

=
The official video criticises working-class hen-night culture. Two different hen parties organise a party in a high-class restaurant, called NOBLESSE, where they have been banned due to the request of the upper class diners. The different hen-parties start a gang war and the diners gather around the window to admire the scene. Finally the hens stop fighting between them and come up against the diners instead. In the video, the band members act as waiters and “chouffers” trying to calm down the violence between the two rival bachelor parties. ======
