Midnight Oil - My Country

youtu.be/ks7RrRFd-20

Rest In Power Rob Hirst, greatest drummer of all time

As teen in the 80's the Oils had a knack for putting what were my inarticulate Aussie male feelings about what was wrong in the world into song. With the rise of fascism & the nationalistic circle-jerk that ANZAC day has become tomorrow, this is once again the right song for our times.

Not a favourite song of theirs musically (too pop) but definitely is lyrically. From the album Earth and Sun and Moon:

🎶 I hear you say the truth must take a beating
The flag a camouflage for your deceiving
Cause I know, (I know) I know, it's written on your soul
I know we all make mistakes

And did I hear you say
My country right or wrong?

This is not a case of blurred vision, it's a case of black holes, pocket
Holes, soul holes 🎶
