Queen drummer Roger Taylor has released a new solo single, "Gangsters Are Running This World".
The song is a commentary on the current state of the world. The lyrics say: "There's blood in the streets/ Panic in the air/ The markets are trading/ in madness and fear.".
This isn't the first time Taylor has used music to address political issues. In 2011, Taylor re-released her protest song about media mogul Rupert Murdoch . The track, titled "Dear Mr. Murdoch," was written in 1994 and included on the album Happiness .
“Everyone has an opinion, and I was lucky enough to have one too,” Roger said in his testimony. “I prefer to stay away from politics, actually. I don’t live in a cute, easy-to-save world.”
