Song: Total Invasion
Band: Killing Joke
Album: Killing Joke (2003)
Guitarist: Geordie Walker
Transcribed by Eka Suma (kresnan@yahoo.com) 18 Sept 2004
This song showcases simple power chords in drop D tuning, allowing
for one finger barre chords for most of the song, and alternating
between dabs of palm muting and louder open chords.
I'm sure I've got the whole song down pat... but if that doesn't
appear to be the case, you can always drop me a line for any
corrections, criticism, songs of praise, poems or whatever 8^)
Enjoy.

| it looks like one of those hippie songs: stop war! the government sucks! let's get high! (maybe that last one not) at least this song is about something different than boys and girls and their love\hate for each other | |

| great lyrics. lots of issues. the comparison between oil and water is interesting. Ad nauseam's comment is just the thing that that lyric is illustrating. we all say "fuck yeah", but there is no action. the lack of understanding or tolerance in other's customs shown by the government is also brought up. As for the guy who suggested it was typical hippy rhetoric, killing joke have always been serious about their beliefs. In the 80's they fled to iceland to escape the apocalypse. | |
