Recoil by Tzu
First verse is a volley of words
and I'm sorry if it hurts but my anger burns
A conservative curse covers the land
I'll be a spanner in the works of your fucked up plans
Mr prime minister explain once again
why our country is at war but we all feel ashamed
Tell me what you'd say to all the parents of the dead,
of the soldiers who have fallen or the civilians bathed in red
This ain't a just war, it's just war and business
the aggressive pursuit of financial interest
the sycophantic pandering to US foreign policy
don't confuse this issue with our economy
Call me unpatriotic if I get this off my chest
I'm as Australian as political protest,
agitators, immigrants, misfits and underdogs
and you know what? That's the Australia I'm proud of
Being wary is good...
Australians all let us recoil
For we have no idea
We go to war for wealth and oil
Our home is girt by fear
Our land abounds in growing rifts
Dividing rich and poor
In histories page this is the age
Of fair justice ignored
(yeah)
Now the rulers they measure the indifference
can you live with this history blistering
like Coober Pedy opal images
Social conditions, no one will openly visit
