Down Under

Down Under



Down under

ever wonder how you got in?

down under

pick a cell you'd like to rot in



Carlos went from college to a prison suit

asking for election day

didn't care to lick El Presidente's boots

got that, Pinochet?



Down under

disappeared without a trial

down under

we don't have that name on file



Ivan told his brothers in the fellowship

not to tow the party line

now he gets to take a sentimental trip

to a prison mine



Down under

would you care for bread and water?

down under

this was daddy's alma mater



Ain't no yankee jive

ain't no commie plot

I don't lean left or right

I stand on solid rock

we hold this truth to be as dear to life as bread

people think better

when they don't have a gun at their head



Miko looked around and saw her Seoul on ice

organized a student parade

someone told the state police to shoot on sight

and they all obeyed



Down under

say the word and we will lock you

down under

doctors here will likely shock you
