The most promi… Read Full Bio ↴Lodger is a name used by several bands and musicians:
The most prominent is this entry:
1) Lodger is a Finnish indie band, formed by Teemu Merilä in 2002. Although largely unknown outside of Finland, they have established a cult-following on the internet due to the popularity of their flash music videos. Their first video "Doorsteps" and all their subsequent are designed by the bands lyricist Hannes Häyhä.
Their big break-through was with the internationally known flash-video 'I Love Death' which was later followed by the videos 'God Has Rejected The Western World' and '24h Candy Machine'.
Their first album, Hi-Fi High Lights Down Low, is rarely found in record-stores but can be bought over the internet at www.stupido.fi, also check amazon marketplace.
Their second album, How Vulgar, received lukewarm critical and fan response -- but don't let that stop you from listening. The tracks "Friends" and "Brunswick Centre" are among their best.
Their third and latest album, Honeymoon Is Over, is, to paraphrase Merilä, what How Vulgar should have been. Much of the music has a harsher tone than their previous work.
For flash videos go to lodger.fi and for news of tours, or updates, use their myspace www.myspace.com/lodger as this is actually updated from time to time.
In 2007 there was a small tour of America and there may have been a trip to the UK also in 2007.
2) Lodger was also a late 1990s indie 'supergroup' composed of Danny Goffey (Supergrass), Pearl Lowe (Powder), Neil Carlill (Delicatessen), and Will Foster (also Delicatessen). The band released one album, A Walk in the Park, in 1998.
3) Lodger may also refer to a music collagist, DJ and singer in Austin, Texas, who has also recorded under the names David Lodger, David Lodger's Hallucination (DLH), Thr33 Record Set, Supressed Laughter and Ziggy. He was a founding member of the underground, early 80's, Houston-based garage band Dead Eddie.

God Has Rejected The Western World
Lodger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And selling, and swelling, and telling a story;
Of scoring, and screwing, and whoring - ignoring.
And talking, and talking, and saying nothing.
God has rejected the western world.
God has rejected the western world.
Some coughing, and eating, and watching TV.
The sleeping and working and playing and buying.
Some coughing, and eating, and watching TV.
God has rejected the western world.
God has rejected the western world.
Floating and floating and floating and floating
And sinking, and sinking, and sinking and drowning.
Floating and floating and floating and floating
And sinking, and sinking, and sinking and drowning.
God has rejected
God has rejected
God has rejected the western world
God has rejected the western world.
God has rejected the western world.
The lyrics to Lodger's song "God Has Rejected The Western World" are a scathing commentary on the excesses and emptiness of modern western society. The verses describe a litany of vices and distractions - smoking, drinking, dancing, kissing, selling, screwing, whoring, talking - which ultimately lead to nothing but a hollow existence. The chorus repeats the refrain "God has rejected the western world" as a condemnation of the spiritual poverty of a society that has lost sight of its higher purpose.
The second verse adds even more banal activities to the list - sleeping, working, playing, buying, coughing, eating, watching TV - all of which contribute to the sense of aimlessness and wasted potential. The final verse introduces the metaphor of floating and sinking, representing the aimless drifting and eventual drowning of a society that lacks direction or purpose. The repetition of the chorus throughout the song emphasizes the gravity of the situation and the urgency of the message.
Overall, "God Has Rejected The Western World" is a powerful critique of modern society and a wake-up call for those who may have lost sight of what truly matters in life.

I think it was a song from a video advertising spray paint. I wonder if they recorded it for advertising or if it was an unused recording that they agreed to provide for advertising

It's a song about the evils of capitalism so i doubt it's used in an ad selling something
