Notable for their use of dual vocalists and for recording a number of sessions for BBC Radio 1 DJ John peel, Extreme Noise Terror (often abbreviated to ENT) initially started as a hardcore punk band. It became quickly evident from early shows that they were far more extreme than many bands of that genre. Together with Napalm Death, ENT helped characterise the early, archetypal grindcore sound: Fiercely political lyrics, grinding guitars, extremely fast tempo and often very short songs.
Propaganda
Extreme Noise Terror Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Uphold their fuckin' law
The police uphold the system
As they smash you to the floor
Because our so called freedom
Is nothing but a farce
Restrictions, lies and laws are rammed right up our arse
Don't you try to cover up
The suffering that you've caused
With bullshit propaganda
It's you who's caused the wars
You cannot deny your crimes
Although you fucking try
Your so called free speech
Is nothing but a lie
The lyrics of Extreme Noise Terror's song "Propaganda" address the role of the police in upholding the interests of the wealthy and maintaining a system that oppresses the marginalized. The opening lines directly criticize the police for protecting the rich and enforcing oppressive laws. The lyrics suggest that the idea of freedom is merely an illusion, as it is overshadowed by the restrictions, lies, and laws that are forced upon the masses.
The song accuses those in power of using propaganda to conceal the suffering they have caused. It points out that it is those in positions of authority who are truly responsible for starting wars, despite their attempts to portray themselves as peaceful and just. The lyrics challenge the authorities' attempts to deny their crimes and expose the hypocrisy of their claim to support free speech, suggesting that this freedom is a mere façade and not truly accessible to all.

Police protect the rich
The police serve to safeguard the interests of the wealthy
Uphold their fuckin' law
Enforce the oppressive laws that benefit the wealthy
The police uphold the system
Law enforcement ensures the maintenance of the existing unjust system
As they smash you to the floor
They use force to suppress and control dissent
Because our so called freedom
The supposed freedom we have is actually meaningless
Is nothing but a farce
It is a mockery, devoid of true liberty
Restrictions, lies and laws are rammed right up our arse
We are subjected to oppressive regulations, deceit, and unjust legislation
Don't you try to cover up
Do not attempt to conceal the consequences of your actions
The suffering that you've caused
The pain and hardship inflicted by your deeds
With bullshit propaganda
Using deceitful information to manipulate public opinion
It's you who's caused the wars
You are responsible for initiating conflicts
You cannot deny your crimes
You cannot escape accountability for your wrongdoings
Although you fucking try
Despite your relentless attempts to evade it
Your so called free speech
The expression of your ideas, falsely labeled as unrestricted
Is nothing but a lie
It is merely a fabrication, devoid of truth
