Army Commercial
 

I don't know if anyone's commented on this yet, but I thought it was kind of disturbing.. I was watching TV the other day, and this US Army commercial came on and it took me a few minutes to realize what song was playing in the background.. mind you they didn't have lyrics, just the beginning of it. But it was still disturbing, the song was Dope - Die Motherfucker Die. I suppose it was fitting for the US Army, but coming from Canada, it seemed fucked up to me.. for anyone that hasn't heard the song, (i still like the song, it's been in my playlist for years) here are the lyrics:

Dope - Die Motherfucker Die

I don't need your forgiveness
I don't need your hate
I don't need your acceptance
So what should I do?

I don't need your resistance
I don't need your prayers
I don't need no religion
Run away, away from you!

I don't do what I've been told,
You're so lame why don't you just go?

DIE MOTHERFUCKER, DIE MOTHERFUCKER DIE!
DIE MOTHERFUCKER, DIE MOTHERFUCKER DIE!
DIE MOTHERFUCKER, DIE MOTHERFUCKER DIE!
DIE MOTHERFUCKER, DIE MOTHERFUCKER DIE!

I don't need your present
I don't need your pray
I don't need your decision
So what should I do?

I don't need your approval
I don't need your quote
I don't need your lecture
Run away, away from you!

I'll be sorry when I'll go?
You're so full of shit man just go!

DIE MOTHERFUCKER, DIE MOTHERFUCKER DIE!
DIE MOTHERFUCKER, DIE MOTHERFUCKER DIE!
DIE MOTHERFUCKER, DIE MOTHERFUCKER DIE!
DIE MOTHERFUCKER, DIE MOTHERFUCKER DIE!

I don't need your forgiveness
I don't need your hate
I don't need your acceptance
So what should I do?

I'll be sorry so you said,
Well I'm not sorry - Bang you're dead!

DIE MOTHERFUCKER, DIE MOTHERFUCKER DIE!
DIE MOTHERFUCKER, DIE MOTHERFUCKER DIE!
DIE MOTHERFUCKER, DIE MOTHERFUCKER DIE!
DIE MOTHERFUCKER, DIE MOTHERFUCKER DIE!

Yep, that's my two cents, I'm not sure if it's been commented on before here.. I just wanted to hear some other opinions on it..

All I know is those are some horrible lyrics. "You're so lame why don't you just go"?

Awesome.

Hee!

Alberta.. I love Alberta...


Yeah, those lyrics are pretty terrible.

actually, I'm pretty sure that you've got the wrong song.
the only song that I've heard the army use lately has been Godsmack's 'Alive'

of course, I could be completely wrong, but after listening to the dope song, I'd swear that I've never heard it Anywhere before.

i dont think much 2 the lyrics 2 , not very nice is it . i dont know why people come up with tunes like that do u .

I've only heard the Army song with the Godsmack song "Alive" I think its an ok song for the commercial. If there really is a commercial with that Dope song on it, I'd be shocked. It really isn't appropriate for an Army commercial. They might as well as put Metallica's "Disposable Heroes" on it instead:

Bodies fill the fields I see, hungry heroes end
No one to play soldier now, no one to pretend
running blind through killing fields, bred to kill them all
Victim of what said should be
a servant `til I fall

Soldier boy, made of clay
now an empty shell
twenty one, only son
but he served us well
Bred to kill, not to care
just do as we say
finished here, Greeting Death
he's yours to take away

Back to the front
you will do what I say, when I say
Back to the front
you will die when I say, you must die
Back to the front
you coward
you servant
you blindman

Barking of machinegun fire, does nothing to me now
sounding of the clock that ticks, get used to it somehow
More a man, more stripes you bare, glory seeker trends
bodies fill the fields I see
the slaughter never ends

Soldier boy, made of clay
now an empty shell
twenty one, only son
but he served us well
Bred to kill, not to care
just do as we say
finished here, Greeting Death
he's yours to take away

Back to the front
you will do what I say, when I say
Back to the front
you will die when I say, you must die
Back to the front
you coward
you servant
you blindman

Why, Am I dying?
Kill, have no fear
Lie, live off lying
Hell, Hell is here

I was born for dying

Life planned out before my birth, nothing could I say
had no chance to see myself, molded day by day
Looking back I realize, nothing have I done
left to die with only friend
Alone I clench my gun

Soldier boy, made of clay
now an empty shell
twenty one, only son
but he served us well
Bred to kill, not to care
just do as we say
finished here, Greeting Death
he's yours to take away

Back to the front
you will do what I say, when I say
Back to the front
you will die when I say, you must die
Back to the front
you coward
you servant
you blindman

Back to the front.


IMO, this song has some of the best lyrics for a war-related song ever.

subliminal messages :| maybeee :| scaaaaary

Well it could be worse, could be Simon and Garfunkle or the Queer Eye 4 the Straight Guy song. The lyrics are pretty fucking horrible along with the band Dope, but if it gets em riled up to go kill some terrorists than Im all for it.

I don't think that the Army intended anyone to look into their advertisements enough that one would take the background music and find the lyrics and flip out about it. This is just how stupid controversies start, like the anti-sematic shit with the jesus movie. I also have only heard the Godsmack song, and I think that even IF the Army used that Dope song, they were just going with the harder intro, and could give a shit less about the lyrics.

Woah sick ass lyrics on that dope song...i like it.

I don't know how specific we're getting, but I was pretty sure that "Alive" was on the Navy commercial? Does this matter? I haven't seen the Dope Army commercial, if it in fact exists, but I'll look for it.
Chingal0 said it best, this is how stupid controversies start. Just take it for what it is, hard music for a tough commercial.

Definitely.
