TRUST NO GOVERNMENT

I have featured a couple of songs produced by Akira the Don, and I have mentioned Danika XIX as being a YouTube creator that I like. Today we have song where the two of them have teamed up.

With the 2nd half of the Dune series coming out, Akira the Don has released a Dune-themed album in which the words being taken from Frank Herbert's series of books. The movie was originally due to come out in October or November, but I believe the release has been pushed to 2024.

And I actually think the message of today's song is something that needs to be understood by people.

Governments, if they endure
Always tend increasingly
Toward aristocratic forms
No government in history
Has been known
To evade this pattern

There is more on this line of thought below the embedded video.

This is "TRUST NO GOVERNMENT" by Akira the Don with vocals provided by Danika XIX. It is from the album DUNEWAVE: ODYSSEY.

The complete lyrics are available at this link. And after the break.

Governments, if they endure
Always tend increasingly
Toward aristocratic forms
No government in history
Has been known
To evade this pattern
And as the aristocracy develops
Government tends more and more
To act exclusively in the interests
Of the ruling class

Whether that class be hereditary royalty
Oligarchs of financial empires
Or entrenched bureaucracy
All governments suffer
A reocurring problem
Powеr attracts
Pathological personalities
