Lyrics from the Ginger Tom official web site: I can see hypocrisy in defending democracy By denying liberty at home and away I can?t say I?d rather stay at Woomera or Camp X-Ray Telling all the children their religion?s astray You wanna see the Vietnamese At the Museum of American Atrocities, and ask Hey, Hey, USA: how many children did you kill today? I can?t see the merit in our status as a deputy sheriff Taking marching orders from the USA Can?t you see there?s something wrong To repress dissent with cluster bombs For a Christian crusade in a modern age You oughta see all the refugees From the Museum of American Atrocities, and ask Hey, Hey, USA: how many children did you kill today? I?d rather see some common sense in arguments in parliaments Rather than the armaments of racist wars
