NO CRUISE
No politician: no say.
So I should get out of the way.
Leave it alone, they know best,
’bout defence of the Free West
Chorus:
They may talk democracy,
they are just hypocrisy.
Kill us all for our own good,
suicide us if they could.
If you want a house to live,
don’t think they will let or give.
If you squat, send cops, tell lies.
So much about human rights.
Chorus
Some old stupid movie star
wants missiles in my backyard.
We don’t want them in this land,
or anywhere else, you understand?
Chorus
