Unbelievable. Most propagandhi tunes require a PhD in polisci and human history to decipher and the most discussion on this site is about their shittiest and most obvious song? |

The first point to make is that this tune is sung by Todd the Rod and his faaaaaaaaaavourite issue is refugees as he works with a lot of refugee support groups. So the refugees are the ones dying under the sun and scratching at our paradise. They want a road to the west. It's a hard one to translate this one with no clear point or dialogue. You get the vibe that if anyone in power in the west, presidents, journos, politicians, judges etc etc had to suffer what any refugees suffer (dying under the cooking sun etc) our policy around borders and illegal arrivals would be starkly different. The shit at the end I read as absolute frustration at not being able to make a positive change for these peoples plight (I wont pretend that we are on the winning end) . Tough one, but a great tune. |

Emmasai is pretty much spot on. This is a pet issue for the propagandhi boys. There is a fascinating doco included in the Live from Occupied Territory DVD which fleshes out many of these issues, but their particular beef is how the Zionist controlled mass media reports on the issues in the west bank and gaza strip and the highly selective language they use to fool people into thinking that these settlement areas are part of Jerusalem and not Palestinian territory. This is one of my favourite Propagandhi songs and I really like how the melody flows much smoother here than on other tracks where they have a real issue to push (like supporting caste) and tend to mangle the lyrics into the phrases in Chris' machine gun style. The work on backing vocals here is stunning. Five stars. |
