I hadn’t thought about these guys in a while, and while it does seem a bit obvious citing them, it is also interesting that 20 years ago there was essentially the same message (just imagine they’re referring to web sites instead of newspapers).

Lyrics, in case you don’t speak Australian:

The rich get richer, the poor get the picture
The bombs never hit you when you’re down so low
Some got pollution, some revolution
There must be some solution but I just don’t know
The bosses want decisions, the workers need ambitions
There won’t be no collisions when they move so slow
Nothing ever happens, nothing really matters
No one ever tells me so what am I to know

You wouldn’t read about it, read about it
Just another incredible scene, there’s no doubt about it

Hammer and the sickle, the news is at a trickle
The commissars are fickle but the stockpile grows
Bombers keep acoming, engines softly humming
The stars and stripes are running for their own big show
Another little flare up, storm brewed in a tea cup
Imagine any mix up and the lot would go
Nothing ever happens

You wouldn’t read about it, read about it
One unjust ridiculous steal, ain’t no doubt about it

You wouldn’t read about it, read about it
Just another particular deal, there’s no doubt about it
