    Where's the troubadors of the working man's cause.
    Where are Woody, Pete, Joan and Joe, we need you.
    Woody moved on, and now the people DON"T VOTE.
    I never died says Joe.

    Come on guys, at least hum a few bars.
    Rap is a protest but it won't join hands.
    the grapes of wrath are upon us.
    Do TV and drugs really satisfy outrage.

    They had to wear dead man's shoes, there was no cash.
    But you're worried about gas for your SUV.
    You can't hear above the din
    of gansta rap or right wing crap.

    It takes more than guns to kill a man,
    I never died said he.
    I never died said he.
    well, where are you?

    We Love Your Apathy

    The sweeter the taste I love it
    Eaten your gutted spine
    All of your thoughts
    I have them Spitting them out, sublime
    (Cos) I am the god of power
    Political to the core
    Governments roll their heads out T
    he beast always wants some more
    I love it
    He loves it
    We love your apathy
    We crush your Lame spirit
    We love your apathy
    Love-er-ly
    I have the information
    (That) keeps you from knowing me
    I abuse you as you watch me
    And you always vote me in
    The poorer you are the better
    That gives me more control
    C'os I am the brute that hates you
    (And I'm) loving it to the bone
    Why don't you wait till you bleed
    Why don't you wait for the clause
    And I'll, and I'll, and I'll, and I'll
    And I will watch you
    I'll wait for you I'll wait, I'll wait for you
    Repeat chorus

    Midnight Oil-

    US Forces give the nod, it's a setback for your country
    Bombs and trenches all in rows, bombs and threats still ask for more
    Divided world the CIA, who controls the issue
    You leave us with no time to talk, you can write your assessment

    Sing me songs of no denying, seems to me too many trying
    Waiting for the next big thing

    Will you know it when you see it, high risk children dogs of war
    Now market movements call the shots, business deals in parking lots
    Waiting for the meat of tomorrow

    Sing me songs...

    Everyone is too stoned to start emission
    People too scared to go to prison
    We're unable to make decision
    Political party line don't cross that floor
    Lt. Ron Hubbard can't save your life
    Superboy takes a plutonium wife
    In the shadow of Ban The Bomb we live

    Sing me songs...

    (Moginie/Garrett)

    there out there for the uncomercialised...

    Are you believing the morning papers?
    War is coming back in style
    There's generals here, advisors there
    And Russians nibbling everywhere
    The chessboard's filling up with red
    We make more profits when we blow off their heads

    Economy is looking bad
    Let's start another war when ya get drafted
    Fan the fires of racist hatred
    We want total war when ya get drafted

    Drooling fingers
    Panic buttons
    Playing with missiles like they're toys
    There's easy money, easy jobs
    Especially when you build the bombs
    That blow big cities off the map
    Just guess who profits when we build 'em back up
    Yeah, what Big Business wants Big Business gets

    It wants a war when ya get drafted
    Trilateral Commission goonies laugh
    and scheme for more when ya get drafted
    Call the Army!
    Call the Navy!
    Stocked with kids from slums when ya get drafted
    If you can't afford a slick attorney
    We might make you a spy

    Forget your demonstrations
    Kids today sit on their ass when ya get drafted
    Just a six-pack
    And you're happy
    We're prepared
    For when ya get drafted
