Motörhead - 'Just ‘Cos You Got the Power' (Live at Mt Fuji Festival 2015)

You might be a financial wizard
With a sack of loot
But all I see is a slimy lizard
With an expensive suit
Go on and run your corporation
Go on and kiss some ass
You can buy up half of the nation
But you can't buy class

You bastards think it's funny
Lying and thieving all your life
Think all there is, is money
Got your future wrapped up tight

But just 'cos you got the power
That don't mean you got the right

You can take my fingers, buddy
You can take my eyes
You can take my past and future
It won't make you wise
You can have me thrown in jail
You can steal my booze
You can even steal my mail
Step on my blue suede shoes

You bastards might be clever
Got it mapped out in black and white
But you remember you can never
Teach a dog to stand upright

And just 'cos you got the power
That don't mean you got the right
And just 'cos you got the power
That don't mean you got the right

Go on out, make another deal
Feed your big fat face
Go on out, and cop a feel
Get on somebody's case
You surely could be satisfied
If you could get it all
But time ain't on your side
You're going to the wall

You think that life's just dollars
Won with greed and lust and spite
But I wasn't born to follow
Like to get my sleep at night
I surely do, honey

Just 'cos you got the power
That don't mean you got the right
Just 'cos you got the power
That don't mean you got the right
Just 'cos you got the power
That don't mean you got the right
You got your ass
And you are ready, buddy

Το καλοκαίρι του 2015 κυκλοφορούσε το τελευταίο full length album των Motörhead υπό τον τίτλο "Bad Magic". Λίγους μήνες αργότερα πέθαινε ο Lemmy (Ian Fraser Kilmister) και η μπάντα έβαλε τίτλους τέλους.

Ο τελευταίος τους "ολοκληρωμένος" στουντιακός δίσκος επανακυκλοφόρησε -μέσω της Motörhead Music (δηλαδή της Silver Lining Music)- προ ημερών (23 Φεβρουαρίου 2022) σε διπλό cd, διπλό βινύλιο και box set (διπλό cd συν τριπλό βινύλιο).

Φέρει τον ("ανανεωμένο") τίτλο "Bad Magic: Seriously Bad Magic" και εκτός των τραγουδιών της αρχικής έκδοσης θα περιλαμβάνει και δύο ακυκλοφόρητα ("Bullet in Your Brain", "Greedy Bastards") και έναν "ζωντανά" ηχογραφημένο δίσκο ("Live at Mt Fuji Rock Festival 2015 - Sayonara Folks!") από εμφάνιση της μπάντας την ίδια χρονιά (με την κυκλοφορία του album).

Κυκλοφορεί σε διπλό cd, διπλό βινύλιο και box set αποτελούμενο από δύο cd και τρία βινύλια. Το ενημερωτικό δελτίο τύπου μας δίνει περισσότερες λεπτομέρειες:

««Motörhead, the iconic Godfathers of heavy metal, released their 23rd (and final) studio album Bad Magic in 2015.

Instantly hailed as one of the best the beloved trio had recorded in many years, Bad Magic: SERIOUSLY BAD MAGIC enjoys a bonus-packed refresh, adding two previously unreleased tracks from those furious sessions: “Bullet in Your Brain” and “Greedy Bastards” as well as a snarling, fangs-out live performance from that subsequent tour at the giant Mt Fuji Festival in Japan in 2015.

Fans will also get “War, Love, Death and Injustice”, an audio interview with Lemmy conducted by Motörhead expert Robert Kiewik during the tour, and should the desire to have a chat with Lem or anyone beyond this mortal coil arise, the box-set will exclusively contain a MURDER ONE ouija board (complete with the Ace of Spades planchette to spell out the conversation).

Bad Magic: SERIOUSLY BAD MAGIC is out now on Double 12” Vinyl, CD Digipak with Bonus Disc, Limited Edition Boxset, Digital Download and Streaming. The Limited Edition Boxset contains the CD Digipak with Bonus Disc, Double 12” Vinyl, exclusive Lemmy War, Love, Death and Injustice audio interview on 12” vinyl and exclusive edition Motörhead - MURDER ONE Ouija Board and Planchette.»»
