They are never afraid to be political, and have come out with such classic lyrics as

Wake up - this country needs a fucking shake up
Wake up - these cunts need a shake up

77% - The Herd (2003)

I have seen them live 3 times and they rank as one of my favourite live bands EVA.

They have just released a new single as they prepare to release the new album 'Summerland' on their own label.

It's called, 'The King is Dead' and it represents the fall of John Howard. Very close to my heart and very cool lyrics.

We danced like new years eve
We danced from sheer relief
Everything must change

The people that you projected as
We were nothing of the sort it sold us all short
Put down the champagne
No toast to the legacy(no way)
And all the propaganda of prosperity
That’s what a machine does and they don’t need therapy
You turned us into a nation of haters
Far right appeaser
believer in whatever get you leader
Dog whistle through the speakers
see who bites it
I noticed a hell of a lot of people liked it
An ethical choice is simpler if you price it
Conquer by dividing
that’s why you admired him?
unless pushed we would never have retired him
Fuckin pirate history will damn him
once it seemed like nothing can damage him
[UNKLE HO MANDARIN - ??]
Crook, you got your arse played in Mandarin

Finally the King is Dead,
we cried off with his head
Everything must change, Everything must change
We danced like new years eve
We danced from relief
Everything must change, nothing stays the same
Nothing stays the same oh, Nothing stays the same oh

Yeah Cats I know are feeling just like the rapture
I can tell who this mood is failing to capture
It’s like somebody finally did light that match up
And burn down the parliament, learned from the argument
Can’t be non-partisan, when you’re an artist
And you put your heart in it,
and that’s not even the half of it
Like my man said, we’re talking butter and bread
Better if his words were never uttered again
Mostly vindictive, who could have predicted
Just a few tax breaks to keep us all addicted
The dickhead dictator leader imitator
Made me feel immature when I said “I hate ya”
Did you read the paper the day after and hear the laughter?
I’ll read it to you, it starts with M McKew and ends with you
No broader view from the people on your ship that you used to call crew
Huh! That’s typical, now I guess it’s difficult
For the type of person who only thinks of individual
No residual, you’ll see our resilience
Take your bat and ball and head for the pavilion

Finally the King is Dead,
we cried off with his head
Everything must change, Everything must change
We danced like new years eve
We danced from relief
Everything must change, nothing stays the same
Nothing stays the same oh, Nothing stays the same oh

Just promise me this,
no rose petal glasses,
quickly confine him to part of the past

I Savoia, quelli delle leggi razziali, quelli che si dice che i maschi di casa savoia siano tutti stupidi, quelli del ventennio. Ecco "la famiglia Savoia ha chiesto ufficialmente i danni al governo italiano con una lettera di sette pagine inviata al presidente della Repubblica Giorgio Napolitano e al presidente del Consiglio Romano Prodi redatta dai legali dei Savoia Calvetti e Murgia". Pensavo fosse uno scherzo, invece no.
Ma i danni a noi italiani invece chi li ripaga? Chi ha consegnato senza batter ciglio un paese allo sbando ad un personaggio dei fumetti per ventanni? Chi è scappato con la coda tra le gambe il 9 settembre del 1943 insieme a Badoglio lasciando abbandonate a sé stesse le forze armate, senza ordini ed allo sbando? Quante decisioni sbagliate sono state prese in passato dai Savoia? E questi hanno il coraggio di chiedere risarcimento a noi, agli italiani, come se non ne avessero abbastanza

L'errore è sempre nostro, dovevamo impedire che loro tornassero qui in Italia a fare il cazzo che volevano, perché forse molti se lo sono già dimenticati ma Vittorio Emanuele, il papà di Emanuele Filiberto, è stato in carcere per associazione a delinquere finalizzata alla corruzione e al falso e allo sfruttamento della prostituzione. Sì, lui che si vantava di aver fregato i giudici francesi, riferendosi al 1978, anno in cui sull'isola francese di Cavallo (tra Sardegna e Corsica, nelle bocche di Bonifacio) sparò col suo fucile ad uno sventurato francese in barca, uccidendolo.

Arroganza, ignoranza, strafottenza e menefreghismo totale verso Italia e italiani: visti i tempi attuali meritavamo di essere governati e sudditi di gente come questa. Il Re è morto.
