Somewhere in your wardrobe, I'd be willing to bet |
|
There's a t-shirt proudly bearing the silhouette of Che Guevara |
|
He was revolutionary, yeah, he wore a cool hat |
|
But behind the design I think you might find it's not quite as simple as that |
|
Che was a bit of a homophobe |
|
Che was a bit of a homophobe, I think, apparently |
|
Che was a bit of a homophobe |
|
Che was a bit of a homophobe |

This is my song in defence of the fence |
|
A little sing-along, an anthem to ambivalence |
|
The more you know, the harder you will find it |
|
To make up your mind, it doesn't really matter if you find |
|
You can't see which grass is greener |
|
Chances are it's neither, and either way it's easier |
|
To see the difference, when you're sitting on the fence |
|
Somewhere in your house, I'd be willing to bet |
|
There's a picture of that grinning hippy from Tibet - the Dalai Llama |
|
He's a lovely, funny fella, he gives soundbites galore |
|
But let's not forget that back in Tibet, those funky monks used to dick the poor, yeah |
|
And the Buddhist line about future lives is the perfect way to stop the powerless rising up |
|
And he tells the poor they will live again, but he's rich now so it's easy for him to say |
|
I'm taking the stand in defence of the fence |
|
I got a little band playing anthems to ambivalence |
|
We divide the world into terrorists and heroes |
|
Into normal folk and weirdos |
|
Into good people and pedos |
|
Into things that give you cancer and the things that cure cancer |
|
And the things that don't cause cancer |
|
But there's a chance they will cause cancer in the future |
|
We divide the world to stop us feeling frightened |
|
Into wrong and into right and |
|
Into black and into white and |
|
Into real men and fairies |
|
Into status quo and scary |
|
Yeah we want the world binary, binary |
|
But it's not that simple |
|
And your dog has a bigger carbon footprint than a four wheel drive |
|
Yea your dog has a bigger carbon footprint than a four wheel drive |
|
And your dog has a bigger carbon footprint than a four wheel drive |
|
And so does your baby, maybe you oughta trade him in for a Prius |
|
ROCK! |
|
I'm taking the stand in defence of the fence |
|
I got a little band playing tributes to ambivalence |
|
We divide the world into liberals and gun-freaks |
|
Into atheists and fundies |
|
Into tee-tot'lers and junkies |
|
Into chemical and natural |
|
Into fictional and factual |
|
Into science and supernatural |
|
But it's actually naturally not that white and black |
|
You'll be |
|
Dividing us into terrorists and heroes |
|
Into normal folk and weirdos |
|
Into good people and pedos |
|
Into things that give you cancer and the things that cure cancer |
|
And things that don't cause cancer |
|
But there's a chance they will cause cancer in the future |
|
We divide the world to stop us feeling frightened |
|
Into wrong and into right and |
|
Into black and into white and |
|
Into real men and fairies |
|
Into parrots and canaries |
|
Yeah we want the world binary, binary, 00 11 01 |
|
The more you know, the harder you will find it |
|
To make up your mind, it doesn't really matter if you find |
|
You can't see which grass is greener |
|
Chances are it's neither, and either way it's easier |
|
To see the difference when you're sitting on the fence |
|
Cause it's not that simple... Maybe... |
