Kyshera - Made In China

'Made In China' is an Alternative Rock song & the 10th song on the 2012 Kyshera album 'Made In China'. The words, music & production are by James Kennedy.

'Made In China' is another musical tour de force on the album beginning with a recording of a carnival before the song kicks in proper with the band playing a 3/4 Waltz groove complete with circus organ. The song then proceeds to charge through Jeff Buckley-esque clean sections, Metal / Grunge heavy sections, Noise and an entire section played on childrens toys - if you listen carefully, you can also hear during this section that the childrens Music Box is actually playing the American National Anthem polyrhythmically.

Lyrically, the song is Kennedy exploring social engineering and how society is 'manufactured' like a product - a product whose role is to manufacture & consume actual products - and that both are in fact cheap & disposable. Just like the disposable products that society now consumes, so too is the society that makes & consumes them manufactured & disposable. The metaphor of the song being that both are 'Made In China'.

LYRICS

When we were born we were free From colours, from countries, from money, from sexes and fear Like a master training a starving dog Culture will be your mother, your teacher, your leader and your God.

God made man in his servants image Colour coded they’re rank and role Half for supply and half for demand The boys play with soldiers and the girls with Barbie housewife toys.

We’re muzzled with our birthday masks Blindfolded and schooled to submit. We’re made in china as pawns for our makers.

We were born as pets for god We can be molded into any role that they want When they control your food and your schools, jobs, health, debt, Information, entertainment, communication and government.

Governments are filters between producer and service caste In the one global brave-new, fast-goods drive-thru If you think or you break before your expiry date You’ll be discarded to the streets where they recycle broken buyers into serfage.

They’ve got banks to keep us in our templates From third world debt to our mortgages Maneuvered fears in a still life culture Keep us tame and indoctrinated.

One ideal and one ethic With house trained drives and reflexes We’re made in china as toys for our children We’re made out of china, disposable goods
