ANTI-FLAG : PRESS CORPSE

My first week of holidays have just passed. Slacked like hell. Haven't touched a single bit of school work.

I'm getting consumed by the World Cup. Portugal are shaping up quite well. Argentina is going crazy. They (I still don't know who is this 'they' that people always refer to. Is it some kind of occult?) said that Brazil have a quality reserve bench and that England have a Boy-Wonder. Well, Argentina have the both put together. A strong reserve side(Tevez and Co.) and a Boy-Wonder(Leo Messi). That's why they S&M'ed S&M 6-0.

You know what's the funny thing? I'm actually watching matches with teams unheard of before the World Cup. Ghana 2 Czech Republic 0. Who could've imagined that?

Now for a bit more serious stuff. My school is trying to screw me over by giving me a tutorial at the exact same time I have to do my Friday prayers. Shows how much each individual means to NYP. They better move that bloody lesson or trust me, there will be hell to pay.

New video from Anti-Flag's new album, "For Blood And Empire".


ANTI-FLAG
"The Press Corpse"
The {Downing Street} memo says...
...We gotta work to make the facts fit the false charges
Pull the wool over the eyes of the filthy masses
Stab the people in the back for the corporate choice
Roll the propaganda out using The People's Voice
We don't want to talk about it...
The press scribble scribble every half-truth spoke
Then shoot it round the country like an April Fools joke
Hype the nation for a Desert Storm love affair
Wave the stars and stripes like you just don't care!
They talk it up all day, they talk it up all night
They talk until their face turns blue - Red white and blue!
But when the truth escapes the night and crawls into the day
We find the picture still askew
They don't want to... talk talk talk talk talk about it
They wanna tiptoe, walk around it
Wave the flag and mindlessly salute
They don't want to talk about it
They wanna tiptoe, walk around it
Wave the flag and cowardly salute
And on the TV screen...
...Diversion and aversion is the flavor of the day
Was it WMDs? Or Democracy?
Blame it on MI-6 or the CIA
The White House Press Corpse only has one thing to say...
"We don't want to talk about it!"
The White House boils over, "Al Jazeera got it wrong!"
The Press Corpse jumps onboard singing the White House song
While over in Iraq thousands are dead because of lies
The spineless war drumming-press corpse have taken lives
They talk it up all day, they talk it up all night
They talk until their face turns blue - Red white and blue!
But when the truth escapes the night and crawls into the day
We find the picture still askew
They don't want to... talk talk talk talk talk about it
They wanna tiptoe, walk around it
Wave the flag and mindlessly salute
They don't want to talk about it
They wanna tiptoe, walk around it
Wave the flag and cowardly salute
Fires fueled on endless lies
Black shrouds coat desert skies
A nation's viewpoint blurred and led
As embeds report what they're fed
We don't want to talk about it...
They don't want to... talk talk talk talk talk about it
They wanna tiptoe, walk around it
Wave the flag and cowardly salute
They don't want to talk about it
They wanna tiptoe, walk around it
Wave the flag and cowardly salute
One last thing before I leave. I would like to thank a Mr. Chua of Smart Cab no. 7328 for returning my handphone which I as my normal idiotic self dropped in his cab on the way back from East Coast Park. Thanks alot dude.(I can't believe I just called him dude)
