I will jump over fence And climb up any wall Movement of the people You cannot control I will walk over desert And swim across the sea Like sand through your fingers I will slip and be free I will walk over mountains It’s colder and colder There’s no way back I’ll try over and over Nothing can stop me No wire, no border I will not obey I will listen no order Bloody, bloody borders Sanguinary times Freedom to cross Freedom to pass Freedom is no crime We will cross the line I will jump over fence And climb up any wall Movement of the people You cannot control I will walk over desert And swim across the sea Like sand through your fingers I will slip and be free Above my head, I hear buzzin’ of drones While border patrol Is crushing my bones Is it so wrong To be born in a danger zone I’m just lookin’ for a place I can call my home Bloody, bloody borders Sanguinary times Freedom to cross Freedom to pass Freedom is no crime We will cross the line

If you put it like that It ain’t so funny Everybody here just Running for the money And on the streets Beggars, junkies We didn’t learn a thing Since we were monkeys Never-ending wars Screaming and fighting Thousands of people disappeared Still counting Fake news? No, no, don’t believe them Just wanna runaway to freedom I’m gonna leave this place Going outer space I’ll be a refugee In different galaxy When you put it like that It ain’t so funny Everyday I feel like A crash-test dummy Time is running I try to cope Starting to wonder Is there any hope All around the world Ignorance is striking Doomsday clock Three minutes and counting Fake news? No, no don’t believe them Just wanna runaway to freedom I’m gonna leave this place Going outer space I’ll be a refugee In different galaxy

Beat and voice, in your face That’s the style we can embrace Kick, snare, hi-hat and bass All the rest you can erase This track has a simple trick It’s very minimalistic When you play it never stops Magic words are Let it drop! Dubioza takes control now Over this place This beat will lift you up Straight, into the space Our style is not expensive But it’ll never be cheap You’ll get maximal pleasure From our Balkan beat It will never be trendy Not really radio friendly But when you hear it You will play it on repeat We have minimal lyrics For this minimal song It’s so easy to remember Let’s sing-a-long Less is always more No fancy metaphor There is very simple trick Minimalistic is fantastic Mini, mini, mini, mali, mali Minimalistic is fantastic Mini, mini, mini, mali, mali Minimalistic for a big, big hit Fini les drum à tout va Fini les batuccada Fini les fanfares truba Cuivres finis les tubes à tuba Bye bye les mixes à multi-pistes Fini l’accord de profundis Fini le slap bass Fais péter l’cash les subs et les strass Fini les babs à la gratte Qui draguent les rates Sur les plages et dans les squats Fini les solo larsen Qui crachent sur la scène Pour renverser l’arène Bye Bye les big band Bobines à bandes L’harmonie débande Les boites et les sets Le grand orchestre Le jazz quartet Et les castagnettes

Buenas días, hola, que tal?! Disculpe mi amigo Hablo muy mal Hablaré despacio Para que puedas entender Somos los mismos Sin ganas de pretender Tenemos muchas cosas similares La política corrupta Y los grandes criminales Nuestros hábitos No son diferentes Aquí y alli, lo mismo En nuestra mente Hoy marijuana Ya trabajare mañana Si en todo decías que yo estaba mal Creo que tu hipocresía no te deja pensar A mí el día y la noche me saben genial Tu toda la vida te la pasas fatal Si a María la encuentro y la quiero besar Ves ardiendo su pelo que rojo quedará Voy volando con ella como nave espacial Especial es nuestro amor 100 x 100 natural Hoy marijuana Ya trabajare mañana No trabajar! Quiero fumar! No trabajar! Gunjah fumar!

My name is Robby Megabyte I will make your future very bright I am just a machine, it doesn’t matter I can make your system much, much better I am electromechanical humanoid Fuck OSX, fuck Android Yeah, future you can’t avoid You will be happily unemployed I am flesh and blood homo-sapiens human Just average over-consumer I cannot make this system better ‘cause stupid is the new clever Your artificial intelligence Will play the beat for me to dance There is only one salvation Never-ending vacation You have to do nothing at all (x3) Every little thing is under machine control Please machine, make my day Please machine, hear me pray Please machine obey And take my job away! Your worries are completely outdated Everything is totally automated Switch off, lean back in your seat You are entirely obsolete No daily grind from nine to five It’s so good to be alive Machines will do all the work Fuck this shit, let’s go berserk

Don't Stop 03:42
I hear alarm ringing Alert it’s not a drill! Another mass killing Another oil spill Another species Is sent to extinction Our reality is stranger Than fiction And then I tell myself This world is crazy Human stupidity Will always amaze me And when you step back We are just a laughing stock A bunch of blind fools Looking at the ticking clock I don’t ever wanna stop I don’t wanna look away Don’t want to give up I don’t wanna step aside I’ll make it to the top I just wanna go against the odds And burn down Babylon I hear the gun shots I hear the dogs bark I hear a drone buzz I hear a bomb blast I hear the wind blows Almost breaking windows I hear people scream Is this a surreal dream? And then I tell myself Oh man, this cannot be real I must be tripping or something Have I forgotten my pill? Time passes by And all I do is talk I babble on and on Staring at the ticking clock I don’t ever wanna stop I don’t wanna look away Don’t want to give up I don’t wanna step aside I’ll make it to the top I just wanna go against the odds And burn down Babylon

French Song 01:57
I want to write a song To get popular in France So when I play my tune Everybody dance But lyrics are my Biggest concern ‘cause French is impossibly Difficult to learn Learning takes time And I don’t wanna wait That’s why I’m gonna use Google Translate And then I get together These three cords And some typical Basic French words Bonjour, merci, Merde, c’est la vie! Santé, s’il vous plait Parlez-vous Français? I guess this song Doesn’t really make sense No one understands it And nobody dances I’ll try to make a song That speaks about love But there is one problem That I can’t solve How to make a love song With the words: Je t’aime ‘cause the only rhyme That Google offered is Marine Le Pen And do you know What rhymes with Macron Emmanuel? Molotov cocktail Bonjour, merci, Merde, c’est la vie! Santé, s’il vous plait Parlez-vous Français?

Dumb 03:48
Girl, you gotta give all Boy, you gotta give all All around the town You hear bam, bam, bam When you hear this sound You better run, run, run Some of them a fool Them shooting gun, gun, gun Bullets flying, people dying one by one Listen everybody better listen to me Open up ya eyes ‘cause there is much to see Why would you wanna Make a rom-pom-pom? Shoot a man and end up In a jail dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb Eye for an eye, we’ll be blind, blind, blind Don’t believe the hype ‘cause it’s a lie, lie, lie No reason good enough to justify why, why Put a bullet in a man And let him die, die, die Listen everybody Better listen to me Open up ya eyes ‘cause there is much to see Why would you wanna Make a rom-pom-pom? Shoot a man and end up In a jail dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb Your body starts to shiver With your finger on a trigger Are you ready to be killer? It’s a murder! Do you wanna reconsider Put your finger off the trigger You don’t wanna be a killer It’s a murder!

Welcome everybody To the wild, wild East We left the doors opened Don’t need the keys Coming from the land Or coming from the seas People get around In the colour of the bees Back once again From the lion’s den Understand, all we need Is you my friend We’re gonna bring Some positive vibes Push them bad on the other side Hit it a little stronger We will rock that thing Rabb-a-dub style With the Balkan swing Turn the bass up ‘cause the record spins Roll it, pass it, smoke that green Back once again From the lion’s den Understand, all we need Is you my friend And I don’t know Why I got a need to say Damn this DJ made my day Give it to the people ‘cause they want it stronger Got a situation That will last little longer Follow the tempo Beat goes faster There’s no control And there’s no master Mash up the sound That takes us closer Take us up and down Like a roller coaster I don’t know why We just can’t stop DJ let the beat drop

about

#fakenews is Dubioza kolektiv’s 9th album released on 28th January 2020.

The spread of online #fakenews over the years was the main inspiration for this album.

It features guest appearances by Manu Chao, Earl Sixteen from Dreadzone, Toma Feterman/Soviet Suprem, Mexican band Los de Abajo and exclusive appearance by Robby Megabyte, soon-to-be-famous internet superstar robot. Songs are in English, Spanish and Google-translated French.

“In the age of fake news, clickbait journalism, propaganda and misinformation, it is difficult to distinguish the truth from lies. We don't just receive information anymore - we like, share, comment; we attack and defend. This became an important part of our identity. Our social media presence and online searches are being analysed by algorithms. We are being served content that is based on our own preferences, and beliefs and this isolates us further from differing views. We are coerced into "echo chambers" where our own opinions are reverberated back to us. Our own thoughts and conclusions are amplified by thousands of likewise-thinking individuals and we start to perceive people with different opinions as our mortal enemies. This polarisation makes it easier to influence people’s views, push for a specific political agenda and cause confusion and distraction. It's like someone threw us a virtual bone and now we are too busy fighting over it to know what is really important.

This is why our songs try to debunk and ridicule fake news: migrations and refugees are not part of a grand conspiracy, marijuana is not a getaway drug, robots will not take away our jobs and artificial intelligence will not take over the world anytime soon. What is more likely is that a lethal combination of politicians' greed and climate change will make the Earth uninhabitable in not so distant future.”

Don't waste time on fake news - listen to Dubioza kolektiv's #fakenews!
