lyrics

microwaves and plain white kitchens
silverware and plastic dishes
bastard cops and dirty snitches
this one runs a crooked business

wait in line to get your stitches
save until you've got some riches
we'll just flip some random switches
every time the system glitches

dispose of what is inconvenient
meadows are sinking in the cement
bog rose is burning in a heat vent
oh wow I can't wait for a weekend

impose condem them to a pup tent
it goes they've made their little rough bed
composed entirely from respect
they practice so you can pretend

legislate for superstition
echo three what's your position
I don't care for white tradition
everyone has their rendition

everythings a competition
illness is an imposition
listen to the disquisition
of the holy politican

"it isnt necessary to be anti-national to be deeply
suspicious of all nationalism to be anti-nationalism.
Nationalism of one kind or another was the cause of
most of the genocides of the twentieth century.

Flags are bits of coloured cloth that governments use
first to shrink-wrap people's minds and then as
ceremonial shrouds to bury the dead

When independent, thinking people begin to rally under
flags, when writers, painters, musicians, film makers
suspend their judgement and blindly yoke their art to the
service of the nation it's time for all of us to sit up
and worry." -Arundhati Roy
