John Edmond - U.D.I State of Mind

{Verse 1}
What have they done to your car, Pa?
What on Earth have they done to your car?
It never had a scratch and it was so intact
Now there's chickens roosting on the steering wheel
It's so unreal...

{Verse 2}
What have they done to the town, Mrs. Brown?
What on Earth have they done to the town?
There's rubbish lyin' 'round, needs some paint, and so run down
There's shanties everywhere; they changed the name
It's such a shame, it's such a shame...

{Chorus}
If you wanna be a survivor
If you need strength so you can tolerate thesе times
If you wanna be a survivor
Declarе a unilateral independent state of mind
Your very own U.D.I. state of mind

{Verse 3}
What have they done to the land, Uncle San?
What on Earth have they done to the land?
What about the Queen? I bet she's not too keen
To visit like she did in colonial days
No ways!

{Verse 4}
What is there left here to rob, Bob?
What on Earth is there left here to rob?
Since you stole the land away folks are dyin' every day
And the world stands by and watches silently
A human tragedy, such a tragedy

{Chorus}
And if you wanna be a survivor
If you need strength so you can tolerate these times
If you wanna be a survivor
Declare a unilateral independent state of mind
Your very own U.D.I. state of mind

{Outro}
Oh though we told them so, all those years ago
They said they didn't know it would sink so low
They're all the same in the political game
There is much to blame and share the shame
The world lives a lie, by just standin' by
So keep your standards high: declare a U.D.I
