The Angry Mob Lyrics
I can prove anything
I'll make you admit again and again I can prove anything The way that it's read again and again And its only cos you came here with your brothers too If you came here on your own you’d be dead Its only cos you follow what the others do Its no excuse to say your easily lead You can choose anything You choose to lose again and again You could do anything Why should you do anything again And its only cos you came here with your brothers too If you came here on your own you’d be dead Winding yourself up until your turning blue Repeating everything that you've read So here we go with the letter Well can you fix it for me Cos we need entertainment To keep us all off the streets So tonight you’ll sleep softly in your bed You can try anything And no-one would know apart for you and me You can stop anything It's starts with just one and two then three Its only cos you came here with your brothers too If you came here on your own you’d be dead Raise a glass or two You raise a fist or two And get a shopping basket wrapped round your head Here we go with the letter Oh can you fix it for me 24 hour drinking To keep us all off the streets So tonight you'll sleep softly in your bed We are the angry mob We read the papers everyday day We like who like We hate who we hate But we’re also easily swayed

Anyway, I love this song. I bought the CD today, and there's like 6 tracks I love (not that the other 7 aren't great, I just prefer those 6). The Angry Mob is one of those 6.

But the first thing that struck me about this is that it may be a little bit fo a refelction on Briatin. Britain is the Angry Mob. and the repeated lines towards the end about reading the papers and being easily swayed could refer to British Tabloids...
Basically we get angry and wound up quickly , but with little or no reason to??
Just my thoughts?!

Oooh but this song is AWESOME. Kaiser Chefs must take tradition in making addictive songs, because every time this song ends I push the back button just like I did with "Oh My God." It's like drugs, seriously...

I dunno why, but when he sings this, it kinda reminds me of franz ferdinand
and i think its about britain indeed
and that people go along with the mob.
"Repeating everything that you've read"
not thinking anymore, just repeating

It seems a very Marxist outlook, saying how we are all dependent on the media for our opinions, even if whats in the papers from day to day changes we just immediately conform to whatever we're told.
I also think this links in with all the bad press that teenagers have been given and the 24-hour drinking laws. If the papers are telling everyone that teenagers are violent and troublesome then the teenagers are going out and fulfilling this role.

The only reason I looked this song up was because in an RPG game that I am a member of one of the members used the "We are the angry mob we read the papers every day we like who we like we hate who we hate but we're also easily swayed." on their to take a dig at me, of course, there is a such thing as projection. People should learn to accept responsibility for their own actions and stop using their friends, especially online, to protect them. It doesn't take a lot of heart for a group to gang up on one player but this is away from the point of this comment. This song is deep but it just goes to show you how people can manipulate things with true meaning to distort.

Basically it's the same as "Hunting for witches" by Bloc Party- The Daily Express telling us what to think and us believing it.

They also say how this has become alright to do as the other newspapers copy "only cos you came in with your brothers too" brothers being the other media - "if you came here on your own you'd be dead" - you would get away with it if the other newspapers didnt copy it.
It also shows the way media effects our opinions - "We are the angry mob
We read the papers everyday day
We like who like
We hate who we hate
But we’re oh so easily swayed"
- the media has the power to change our opinions by the rubbish that they print.
Its a good song and very catchy

the idea of "we like who we like" is a kind of elitist thing; not accepting other people into the fold because of a group mentality of keeping out anything they don't agree with, but once something's widespread and popular they're "easily swayed". it's definitely something about redtop papers like the Sun and whatever, they do a lot of "campaigns" against and for things and a lot of people will read that everyday, it's a cheap source of entertainment and information that doesn't challenge people in terms of intelligence.
this song is definitely not against the working class/"chavs", it's saying that this is the way things are and the government like to introduce things to make themselves look better or more popular like 24 hour drinking but it's a cynicism, like the government may think that stops people from being how they are but they'll still oppose people they fundamentally disagree with because of upbringing and disadvantage, and being told all the time by the redtops that the government is made up of people with "too much" when they themselves have not very much. the kaisers are leeds boys, so they'll have seen this.
well, i think so, anyway :) could be wrong!

Anyway rant over.
Great song and i agree that this must be about modern day britain, everyone believing what they read in papers.
The video shows different social classes fighting so you can't just say its all about chavs.

the first verse is about wise people not getting drunk and in trouble.
the second is about people who get drunk and the other people ''your brothers''look after you and stop you from getting that drunk you nearly die, and saying they got drunk so i shouldnt just get don refers to the line ''Its only cos you follow what the others do, Its no excuse to say your easily lead''.
the 3rd is about choosing to get drunk then getting into bother.
the 4th is the same as the 2nd.
the 5th is about asking people to help you out in life.
then the 6th is about getting really drunk and just falling asleep.
the 7th about stoping yourself geting drunk.plus about getting annoyed about fights
the 8th is about asking for a fight then getting badly injured.
the 9th is about people using drinking as an excuse as staying of the streets.
then the last couple is about the public liking some people who goe out and hating others.
