My Country, track #02 from "Earth and Sun and Moon" (1993).

Alternative Rock from Australia (Sydney).

Lyrics:

Was it just a dream, were you so confused

Was it just a giant leap of logic

Was it the time of year, that makes a state of fear

Methods, were their motives for the action

And did I hear you say

My country right or wrong

My country right or wrong

My country right or wrong

Did you save your face

Did you breach your faith

Women, there were children at the shelter

Now who can stop the hail

When human senses fail

There was never any warning, no escape

And did I hear you say

My country right or wrong

My country oh so strong

My country right or wrong

My country right or wrong

My country going wrong

My country right or wrong

I hear you say the truth must take a beating

The flag a camouflage for your deceiving

Cause I know, (I know) I know, it's written on your soul

I know we all make mistakes

This is not a case of blurred vision, it's a case of black holes, pocket

holes, soul holes

And did I hear you say

My country right or wrong

My country oh so strong

My country right or wrong

My country right or wrong

My country going wrong

My country right or wrong

My country, my country, my country

The Oils with yet another very danceable political track that pulls no punches lyrically. Has there ever been a better band that melded musicality, commentary and rhythm better than this band? The Clash have some very strong songs that you can really groove too, but the Oils just dare you to stay in your seat (try sitting through "Power and the Passion" off of probably their best album - "10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1") with music that at first might not sound heavily musical because you are listening to the words (this song here is a great 'anti-nationalist' song, in the best possible sense), but let's face it - this band had no weak link in their delivery and ability. Their harmony vocals are indelible. The Clash are untouchable overall, but that "overall" is made up of many specific categories. In this category, the Oils just burned it.

We used to have this along with all my parents' favorite music on a cassette tape in our car when I was a kid, brings back so many childhood memories of our roadtrips...

This was the song that made me an Oils fan, and even the first mature band I ever loved, at the age of 11 in 1993
