Workers united ... never be defeated Workers united ... will overcome Workers united never be defeated We are the people who makes things run Workers united never be cheated Protect your rights They were hard fought and won Stand up and fight for worker's autonomy We are the engines of the economy Those who are poor or in a minority Shout let it out 'cos we want equality You can make a difference to help fix the world All you have to do is believe in yourself We celebrate our great diversity This is a strength of worker solidarity We feel the pain of work place injury Bosses who think our lives are cheap Make them feel the pain of worker solidarity Stand up unite don't turn your cheek Fight for the right for fair compensation Fight for the right for better education Equality, dignity, justice for all We want it now and we'll have it all Power to the people not to corporations Boot politicans who trash our nation Fight for the right for self-determination Help put an end to casualisation Stand up and fight to return job security Each to their need from each to their ability Don't let them chip away our civil liberties Fight with the power of workers unity Stand up We are the people "The People united will never be defeated" "Today, many thousands of workers stopping work coming down to protest the fact that ordinary people are not being given a say in their future" From the album "Propaganda Machine Volume 1" available at: http://www.EyeMusic.info and http://eyenoise.bandcamp.com/releases.

Here come the refugees sailing across the seas they're all crowded on a little piece of tin hoping to get in to Australia land of the free a fair go and democracy but they're all in for a big surprise DETENTION WITHOUT TRIAL! Here come the refugees fleeing brutality torture rape and murder things that we just can't imagine they've given everything to escape from a regime that locks up people just because they dream about freedom And what do we do when they wash up on our lucky country? we lock them up as scapegoat's in the concentration camps In most other countries potential refugees can live in the community while waiting on assessment instead what happens here we tease upon their fear interrogation isolation drug sedation torture Sounds just like the hell from which they fled to you and me we lock them up as scapegoats in a concentration camp CHORUS Mistaken refugees thought that our country was civilised enough to treat them with humanity oh but what do they find? imprisoned without trial United Nations can't come in to check on human rights Sounds just like the hell from which they fled to you and me we lock them up as scapegoat's in a concentration camp Their basic rights denied they go on hunger strike we bash them up and tell ourselves they're just a pack of whingers and we give money to U.S. companies who run the camps on a shoestring to maximise their profits And what do we do when they wash up on our lucky country? we lock them up as scapegoat's in the concentration camps Here come the refugees sailing across the seas but Australia is not what it seems a land of hypocrisy?!? we are all living one great big lie with DETENTION WITHOUT TRIAL!

about

A Compilation of Political Music by Independent Australian Artists.

Produced in 2003 by DJ Robot Citizen on behalf of the Community Radio Network of Australia and www.BlatantPropaganda.org; 500 CDs were printed and distributed to radio stations across Australia. Tracks from this CD received extensive airplay across Australia in the surrounding years. Finally added to the internet in 2014.

As I have not been able to contact all artists in 2014 most tracks are not available for download but they are all available here for streaming online in CD quality WAV format.

If you are one of the artists and you:
- would like your track to be made available for free download;
- can provide further details to be added like links to current websites; or
- have a concern about your track being online (eg. wish it to be removed)...
please send an email. ;-)
