The late Mandawuy Yunupingu out front of Yothu Yindi
Quote:
"Treaty” was composed by Yothu Yindi in collaboration with Paul Kelly and Midnight Oil to protest against the failure of the Australian Government to honour the Prime Minister's promise to Indigenous Australians.
Dr M Yunupingu's comments about this song:
"This song was written after Bob Hawke, in his famous response to the Barunga Statement (1988), said there would be a Treaty between Indigenous Australians and the Australian Government by 1990. The intention of this song was to raise public awareness about this so that the government would be encouraged hold to his promise. The song became a number-one hit, the first ever to be sung in a Yolu language, and caught the public's imagination.

Is there a problem with my critique of the music? Did I mispell something?

one click will show the song title without using any very little data. Woody Guthrie on Page 2 is the winner imo or if the North Korean anthem is more your style it's here as well

6 years before Nancy Regan famously told people to "Just Say No To Drugs" Ian Dury was already taking the piss on that idea

Hey good call 
I always had it in my head this song was referring to the Northern Ireland problem but it fits anywhere really.

I don't want to holiday in the sun I want to go to the new Belsen I want to see some history Cause now I got a reasonable economy Oh now I got a reason And I'm still waiting Now I got a reason To be waiting The Berlin wall In Sensurround sound in a two inch wall Well I was waiting for the communist call I didn't ask for sunshine And I got world war three I'm looking over the wall And they're looking at me Oh now I got a reason And I'm still waiting Now I got a reason To be waiting The Berlin wall They're staring all night And they're staring all day. I had no reason to be here at all. But now I got a reason if's no real reason And I'm waiting at Berlin wall I gotta go over the Berlin wall. I don't understand it Claustrophobia there's too much paranoia There's too many closets I went in before And now I got a reason It's no real reason to be waiting The Berlin wall I gotta go over the wall, I don't understand this bit at all Please don't be waiting for me.

That's how I remember the late 70's, Thatcher's Britain and The Sex Pistols screaming there's no future. Epic guitar tone from Steve Jones too, one of the best I think.

Starin' at the boob tube, turnin' on the big knob Tryin' to find some life in the waste land Fin'ly found a program, gonna deal with Mary Jane Ready for a trip into Haight land Obnoxious Joe comes on the screen Along with his guest self-righteous Sam And one more guy who doesn't count His hair and clothes are too far out While pushin' back his glasses Sam is sayin' casually "I was elected by the masses" And with that in mind he starts to unwind A vicious attack on the finest of grasses Well it's evil, wicked, mean and nasty (Don't step on the grass, Sam) And it will ruin our fair country (Don't be such an ass, Sam) Well, it will hook your Sue and Johnny (You're so full of bull, Sam) All will pay that disagree with me (Please give up you already lost the fight, alright) Misinformation Sam and Joe Are feeding to the nation But the one who didn't count counted them out By exposing all their false quotations Faced by a very awkward situation This is all he'd say to save the day Well it's evil, wicked, mean and nasty (Don't step on the grass, Sam) And it will ruin our fair country (Don't be such an ass, Sam) It will hook your Sue and Johnny (You're so full of bull, Sam) All will pay that disagree with me (Please give up you already lost the fight alright) You waste my coin Sam, all you can To jail my fellow man For smoking all the noble weed You need much more than him You've been telling lies so long Some believe they're true So they close their eyes to things You have no right to do Just as soon as you are gone Hope will start to climb Please don't stay around too long You're wasting precious time Well it's evil, wicked, mean and nasty (Don't step on the grass, Sam) And it will ruin our fair country (Don't be such an ass, Sam) It will hook your Sue and Johnny (You're so full of bull, Sam) All will pay that disagree with me (Please give up you already lost the fight, alright)
