The lyrics of Dropdead's song New World Slaughter are strong and bold, full of powerful messages about the state of world affairs. The first line, "Oppression --- The Fuel of Demoralization" conveys the idea that when individuals and groups are oppressed, it can weaken their spirit and drive. The following line speaks about the decline of human rights, indicating that there has been a noticeable deterioration in the recognition and protection of basic human rights in the world. The third line speaks about mass control and media manipulation, which suggests a lack of freedom and autonomy in the public sphere. Finally, the song concludes by addressing the concept of a New World Order, which is a conspiracy theory about a sinister global government.
The chorus of the song, sung repeatedly, consists of three lines, "New World Oppression, New World Murder, New World Slaughter". These lines are the most striking of the whole song, as they call attention to the rampant oppression, murder, and slaughter that's occurring in the new world order that the song speaks of. The lyrics can be seen as a political commentary on the ways in which people are treated unequally, and how the actions of those in power can have devastating consequences for those without.
