Multi Death Corporation
MDC Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Opportune on any situation
Our only concern: capitalization
And world economic: domination
Russian roulette for the world population
We need terror and repression
For third world exploitation
Generals plot extermination
Bank on death and devastation
Sick control, manipulation
From the Multi-Death Corporation
Promises of free expression
CIA assassination
State Department: no explanation
Bought and sold legislation
TV "news" half information
America prays in isolation
Sick control and manipulation
From the Multi-Death Corporation
The song Multi Death Corporation by MDC is a criticism of multinational corporations and capitalist greed. The lyrics describe the corporation as being opportunistic and only concerned with making profits and dominating the world economically. The corporation's profits are made from the global starvation of people, and they use terror, repression, and exploitation of third world countries to achieve their goals. The generals of the corporation also plot extermination and bank on death and devastation.
The song also describes how the Multi-Death Corporation has control and manipulation over people's lives. The corporation promises free expression, but in reality, they use the CIA for assassinations and the State Department for bought and sold legislation. The news is controlled by the corporation, and half information is used to manipulate the public. The song ends with the lyrics "America prays in isolation," which could be interpreted as a critique of the way in which people are isolated and unaware of the control the Multi-Death Corporation exerts on their daily lives.
Overall, the song Multi Death Corporation is a powerful critique against the negative aspects of capitalism and multinational corporations. It highlights how corporations often prioritize profits over people and are willing to use violence and control to achieve their goals.

Things randomly recalled: summer '83
saw MDC with a host of other punk bands @ the mall in DC with punks from high school. When MDC took the stage we were suddenly surrounded by mounted cops in riot gear. Of course a riot broke out. THEY started it. My friend Derek who sang for our band Suburban Disruptors got hit in the head with a beer bottle and bled all over the place, so we ended our participation to take him home. Safety first!

Metal crossover at the beginning of the ep and elsewhere amongst the brutality and hyper speed.

There is nothing metal about this record.

Yippee ki yay! Precisely. Few know that that's where the 'thrash' in thrash-metal comes from.
