Why would I give you a loaf when i could give you a crumb?
Id stil be giving to those who have none.
I'll tell you why, because the stupid give and the smart are taught to get, and im not stupid.
I wont save a river im not drinking, protect the forest i could be selling.
I'll tell you why, because the stupid give and the smart are taught to get, and im not stupid.
Cos i wont give you a hand but i'll take yours.
Why upset the scales when they are tipped our way?

If you see a man in a ditch, kick him.
No! Dont kick him, he's probably down on his luck.
Give him all your money, thats what makes him happy!
No, not the money, that wont make him happy..

Free up the market, open the gate, for goods and capital, its never too late.
Send in the guns, to fight the wars, when people flee, close the doors!
A bomb blew up off the coast today, bones and bloodshed, and from where it came, for all the refugee's we built up barriers, a healthy trade, of people smugglers.
For goods and capital, open the gate.
Behind the wire, refugee's wait.

(Suharto is dead)
He died in his bed, champion of the west.
Champion of the west.
Though we dont like to admit it, cos of all that torture and mass murder.
We've done it before and we'll do it again.

After all, he kept all those 'commies' down.
After all..
We've done it beofre and we'll do it again.

Flag and Forget Melbourne, Australia
Start: Noah (drums/vox) and Tim (guit/vox) played in a psychadelinc, post-punk-indie jam band.. it was noisy and rawkus. Did some shows, wanted bass. Brought Sean (bass/vox) in and then it started to sound like this. Did it for fun over a year, played a few shows, recorded this. End. Best ever. ... more
