‎[1987]‎
Nell’album intitolato “A Good Night Out”‎

A Good Night Out
Today, we see a spiritually impoverished nation.
Our sense of culture finds its highest expression
in the bingo caller's mantra
or the auctioneers hammer
beating out the coded rhythms of privilege.‎

Let the dead bury their dead,
not drag their corpses over our stage!
New hammers, new rhythms, new chants!‎

Our legacy,
violence and corruption through our TV screens.
A government that cares more for death than life,
more for destruction than creation,
a government that closes hospitals
and opens nuclear air bases,
a government that conspicuously favours its wealthy,
its corrupt,
its immoral citizens,
but denies basic human rights to the majority.‎

Extreme conditions demand extreme responses! ‎
