about

A celebration of direct action for anyone tired of writing letters "that a junior clerk can place upon a shelf."

lyrics

I hate the Liberal Party with a passion deep and hearty
So I voted for the Labor Party man
But the lying little weevil turned out just as bloody evil
It's clear he's out to break us if he can

So this time I was keen, I went out and voted green
And the good old Coalition went and won
If you want to change the laws then the power's mine and yours
And I think it's time to go and have some fun

Oh banner drops and lock-on pipes, tripods and canoes
A smoke-in at the copshop nearly always makes the news
We can safely leave the violence in the hands of the police
And go and make some music in the forest and the streets

I want to make things better so I think I'll write a letter
That a junior clerk can place upon a shelf
But still the trees keep falling, I can hear the forest calling
So I'll have to go and save the thing myself

Oh banner drops ...

It is very widely known that if you cycle on your own
The motorists will try to run you down
But nothing ever feels quite as free as my two wheels
When a hundred bikes have taken over town

Oh banner drops ...

If you stand up for your rights or for someone else's fight
You break the law which says you can't complain
But civil disobedience is never ever tedious
It's aggravated trespass time again!

Oh banner drops ...
