Yesterday after what happened in Indonesia, my country, I was reminded of the song that used to be in an alternative collection that I had. I couldn't remember the name of the band, but I still know that they're from Australia. Not so long browsing (thanks to Google), I could find the band and the song.
The name of the band is
Frente and the song is
Cuscutlan.
I found it in Launch from Yahoo and I could listen to their songs and bands that related with their music. Been listening to it now, including Weezer, Coldplay, etc. I just got to remember that this band has a nice song, probably their most famous one : Bizarre Love Triangle.
Anyway, Cuscutlan really expresses my feeling about my country. Here it is.
Cuscutlan (Frente)
----------------------------------
I love my country
But it wears a uniform
It speaks with foreign guns
In the background you can almost hear
The sound of intervention
And I don't know when
Liberty fell
But we rang every mission bell
We rang them loud and clearly
For a world that wouldn't listen
I don' t want to die
I'm as innocent as anybody
I don' t even know how to spell revolutionary
Jesus in the sky
The bullets in the guns
You don't even know
What we mean by repression
Blood is the color of the sunset
You walked into the darkness
I did not hear your last breath
There will not be an inquest
This is not human interest
We danced the dirt with surrender
For our drumbeat
Danced for the balance sheet
Died for the kind of lasting peace
That pleases the world's police man
And Fatherland raped Motherhood
And told her it was for the global good
And now we ring the mission bell
To warn their children
I don' t want to die
I'm as innocent as anybody
I don' t even know how to spell revolutionary
Jesus in the sky
The bullets in the guns
You don't even know
What we mean by repression
Blood is the color of the sunset
You walked into the darkness
I did not hear your last breath
There will not be an inquest
This is not human interest
breaking the MUSIC.
