Paul Spencer, 1996
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 ...
