After more than four years of silence they are back with a new single!

They are something like the Crossover Rock scene ´s hit smithy and are a legend already. During the 90es they not only had worldwide hits with songs such as „Nigger“, „The Truth“ or „Do What I Say“, they have also been a social critical voice of what was moving society and have been talking what a full generation has thought: CLAWFINGER have been pioneers to the Crossover scene and have been considered as Europe ´s answer to Rage Against The Machine.
After a few years of silence around CLAWFINGER, the Scandiavians are now back with a new single and in exactly the strength and eloquent power that has always been standing for them: „Save Our Souls“ is the title of the new single being released on 4th August. Again the band finds clear words on it: „The song is about how trumpism turnst he world into a cesspool full of fucking heartless piss“, the band says. They find clear words against the neo-nationalistic govering of US president Donald Trump. „How can someone put a logic on certain ethnics, religions or sexes having certain traits of character and how can someone blame them for the world going wrong? How regressive and ridiculous ist hat? There are idiots in all shapes and colours, same as heroes, and if we aren ´t standing together, the world will be fucked.“
With their single CLAWFINGER find a clear and loud statement after their four years´ break in which the musicians have been taking care of their families and their lifes beside music. „CLAWFINGER no longer is our main job. We all have other jobs and families to love...“

LYRICS:
Pardon my french, but it`s all greek to me
when an innocent child is allowed to drown out at sea
our flags are just fiction, our borders just air
so regardless of roots you can`t tell me that you don`t care
becos’ I know for a fact that when it`s at your front door
when it`s your youngest child that you see washed ashore
when the bombs are in your backyard and you`re under attack
when the victim is you, you`ll be the first to react
Chorus:
every life is a cost,every soul is a sell
we`re all cynics at best, we`re all under a spell
We don`t do a thing about it
every hand is a help, every dream is a hope
we`re all doing our best, we`re all trying to cope
there’s no reason we should doubt it
So if we let them in, and then force them back
and build a big fucking wall, what kind of signal is that
We care a lot but we don`t, because we don`t want to lose
the benefits that we have, because we`ve all paid our dues
when it makes the news and you`re safe in your own home
it`s so easy to care, in your own comfort zone
so we take what we get, like a natural fact
but we don`t seem to care enough to give something back
every life is a cost,every soul is a sell
we`re all cynics at best, we`re all under a spell
We don`t do a thing about it
every hand is a help, every dream is a hope
we`re all doing our best, we`re all trying to cope
there’s no reason we should doubt it
The truth is so plain despite our different names
cos`at the end of the day we`re all really the same
Our skin colours may vary, our religion as well
but we all want forgiveness, from heaven or hell
every life is a cost,every soul is a sell
we`re all cynics at best, we`re all under a spell
We don`t do a thing about it
every hand is a help, every dream is a hope
we`re all doing our best, we`re all trying to cope
there’s no reason we should doubt it
