C.S.
Napalm Death䐀 Lyrics

The lyrics to Napalm Death's song C.S focus on the negative attributes that can be associated with individuals who possess a great deal of power, specifically those in positions of political and economic power. The song labels these individuals as arrogant, ignorant, affluent, desensitized, devoid and blind, and lacking in compassion. The lyrics suggest that these individuals are so blinded by their own power and privilege that they become incapable of feeling empathy or concern for others, positioning themselves as the paragon of virtue while in reality being nothing more than the paragon of shit.

The song can be interpreted as a critique of the corruptive nature of power and the lack of true moral values among those who have achieved high levels of success. The lyrics emphasize that wealth and power do not necessarily lead to an individual becoming a good or moral person, and that such individuals often become wrapped up in their own sense of self-importance and superiority, leading them to behave in ways that are harmful to others around them.
