With lyrics inspired by Cyberpunk imagery and the Cyberpunk subculture, Dope Stars Inc. have been mixing industrial beats, acid synths and distorted sounds with a bratty rock’n’roll sound and attitude since their foundation in May 2003, Italy.
With their debut self-produced EP “10,000 Watts Of Artificial Pleasures” the band caught the interest of the international press and and was quickly signed with Trisol Music Group to release two albums,“Neuromance” (2005) and “Gigahearts” (2006).
Through the years they have infected a horde of loyal fans and spread like a virus over communities and global networks.
The band toured extensively between 2005 and 2008 performing on stages across Europe and supporting bands like London After Midnight, Kirlian Camera, ASP, Apoptygma Berzerk, Nightwish, Combichrist, My Dying Bride, and others. The band also performed at European festivals like Mera Luna, Wave Gotik Treffen, Amphi Festival, Summer Darkness, On A Dark Winter Night, Infest UK, and Trash Fest I & II in Finland. Songs by Dope Stars Inc. also appear on the soundtrack albums of the horror movie saga "Saw".
Their 3rd studio album (upcoming this summer) has been licensed to Trisol Music Group in Europe, Metropolis Records in North American and Subsound Records in Italy. Before it's release an advance EP including 2 tracks from the new album and titled "Criminal Intents / Morning Star - Double Feature EP" will be released on 21st April 2009. After the EP some concert dates are being planned in May and an International Tour will follow after the full length album release.

Banksters
Dope Stars Inc. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just a nightmare in your dreams
When electric money grows
From your hands goes to the core
Right to please you everyday
They prepared so many games
Just a war of rotten goats
And you know what?
Please the bankster
Shot shot shot 1 more shot
Shot shoot the bastard
Shot shot shot one more shot
Shot shoot the bastard
It's a matter of heavy greed
"Polticians" gave a dream
To the mass distracted goats
With the "weapon" of their votes
Information spreading hate
Keep a shadow on real fate
Of the future locked doors
And you know what?
Please the bankster
Shot shot shot one more shot shot
Shot shoot the bastard
Shot shot shot 1 more shot
Shot shoot the (fucking) bastard
And you know what?
And you know what?
And you know what?
BAM!!
The song "Banksters" by Dope Stars Inc. is a critique of the financial industry and its corrupt practices. The lyrics describe how money has become electric, flowing through our hands and into the core of the banking system. The banks use games and other tactics to keep us appeased, while they continue to profit from their greed. The politicians are also complicit, promising dreams to distract the masses and using fear and hate to manipulate public opinion. The chorus urges listeners to take action against the banksters, to fight back against their control and corruption.
The lyrics are straightforward in their criticism of the financial industry, but the song's title is also significant. "Banksters" is a combination of the words "banker" and "gangsters," highlighting the criminal nature of the industry. The song's use of violence in the lyrics ("shot, shot, shot") is a reflection of the anger many people feel towards the banks and their role in causing economic inequality and hardship.

It's a matter of ABC
It's a simple matter that anyone can understand
Just a nightmare in your dreams
It's like a bad dream that you can't wake up from
When electric money grows
As digital currency becomes more valuable
From your hands goes to the core
Your money goes directly to the banks
Right to please you everyday
To keep you happy and satisfied
They prepared so many games
The banks have many tricks and schemes
Just a war of rotten goats
It's a fight between the corrupt and the powerless
And you know what?
And you know how the game is played
Please the bankster
Do what the banks want
Shot shot shot 1 more shot
Fight back with whatever you have left
Shot shoot the bastard
Take down those who are causing the harm
It's a matter of heavy greed
It's all about the money and power
"Polticians" gave a dream
Politicians sold us a false hope
To the mass distracted goats
To the unaware and easily manipulated public
With the "weapon" of their votes
Using the public's votes to gain power
Information spreading hate
The media spreading negativity and falsehoods
Keep a shadow on real fate
Hiding the true reality from the public
Of the future locked doors
The future is inaccessible and uncertain
And you know what?
And you know how the game is played
BAM!!
It's over, the illusion is shattered
