go on the liberals, supporting the already well off? sounds like making a country unfair, and isnt democracy all about halting repression in any form?
wow what a conservative forum. looks like you all flocked over after hearing the track on nova. go listen to 77% and find out what The Herd are really about
nice one HilltopHoodsXD, you're proof that the Hoods are idiotic bogans whose every rhyme is a meaningless simile.
the Libs and the Labs are two sides of the same coin. they don't give a fuck about you, they just wanna climb the ladder by sucking up to anyone with more money and more power than them ...then they sing about anzac day and pointless battes against Turks nearly 100 years ago!!
i was in rapture with this song at new years eve at woodford 08/09, but australia is still the same racist capitalist hellhole that it always has been, rudd is gutless on climate change, saving the whales, education, the war on drugs and everything, dont trust the little nerdy devout christrian prick!!! but tony abbot is worse than howard, so vote green!!
@CDNSMOKEJUMPER - Agreed on the amount of racism in Australia. I've been here for a couple of years now and even to this day I still get the occassional 'fucking kiwi'. I won't go as far as to say that Australia IS a racist country since I've made and met some really awesome Aussies mates here. But I find it laughable that the media is constantly referring this country as 'multicultural'. Multicultural my brown a**!
@CDNSMOKEJUMPER - Nah. Sunny side QLD. I think compared to most cities in Australia, Brissy seems the most tolerant of foreigners. In my opinion anyway.
@88ChimDee Possibly but QLD was the last state to abolish slavery. The rest of Australia denied QLD access to the federation until they dealt with their problem. they resolved it by sending those that had been stolen from Micronesia back there but they hadnt been there for decades in some cases and had no life there so the solution was just as stupid as the problem. But that was a couple of hundred years ago.Today i can only vouch for Perth which is as racist as ever.
@CDNSMOKEJUMPER We do have it damn good here, but improvements can and should always be made. I mean explain to me how being born in a different country makes you inferior and takes away your right to come here. I doubt the people abusing you for your accent are Indigenous.
@s4176026 HAHAHAHAHAHAHA... vote green?????!!!!!! lol your a fucking joke!!! greens are fucking retarded they will save the environment but fuck up evrything else that australia has got.
Ignorance at its purest form. Enjoy your filtered internet and rampany, Chinese level censorship. Meanwhile, workers rights have barely changed since Rudd has been elected.
More importantly than any of that crap, we're not sold the "fear blacks" message anymore. Or the "fear Asians", or "fear Africans"... basically "fear anyone non-Aryan".
With fear we can do nothing. We just sit like scared little bitches in a corner, hoping no-one comes along and scares us. 77% of us were little children, begging for our hand to be held. It was pathetic, and we know it.
All you guys do realise that this song was released long before John Howard lost the election, I saw it on rage like early not last year the year before
The explicitally mention Howard losing Bennalong to McKew, and him being being defeated by Rudd (well somewhat ambiguously; the "Crook, you got your arse played in Mandarin" line).
don't even try to say john howard was good, he did his job well in some aspects but he's still a cunt who helped all his buddies out before the public.. you're probably one of those mates of his, i certainly didnt have a good run when he was in power.
and i suposse your a right wing labour nut, who is 18 and a kevin supporter, who would jump through hoops for a taste of rudds cum on your lips.
Did you enjoy your brainwashing last year? Did you enjoy that labour owns nearly every single media station in australia, and that as their right to free speech on a station that belongs to them is as valid as the warts on a toad?
Also.. dont you dare ever tell me what to think you piece of excrement, were you alive in the last recession? doubt it
The words "right wing" and "Labour" don't go together in the same sentence, it's any oxymoron kinda like "educated Liberal".
Given that Labour traditionally represses the high end of town and supports the blue collar class and workers I'd be most interested to know how 'they' took over every single media station in Australia (notice the capital A for when spelling this fine countries name), last I looked Newscorp and Fairfax; two hard pro Liberal Corps own most news outlets in this nation.
Wait wait wait, since when has Fairfax (The Age and The Sunday Morning Herald, being to examples of their Newspapers) being Pro Liberal?
The Problem with Howard was he rode a wave. He was in power throughout a Mining boom and he did nothing to make this country more self sufficient. Maybe if he had invested in exporting other things, apart from raw materials.
Yeah i think Everybody got brainwashed by labour... thats why when liberal got voted out it was such a land side.. i wonder how they did it... Kevy must have put something in our food?? LoL
adso 1908000 your are a dead set legend, right own the money on all your comments. On the day of voting i walk in holding a can of Jonnie Walker and yeling vote jonnie.
you guys can think wat u want about wat the meaning of this song is but for me, its just a song with lyrics that conveniantly fit into politics.....if thats makes sense lol, anyway, great song
You sound like my 64 yr old vietnam veteran step father. Being left wing used to be cool; I've noticed lately a large number of kids being the latest 'cool,' right wing idiots. Idiots who claim homosexuality is a lifestyle choice and people like you who worship the ground that crooked bastard Johnny walked on.
What terrible state is the country in at the moment? Last time I looked its a world recession.
Tongs, maybe you should listen to your 64 year old step father.... the homosexuality seems to be a sore point for you... whatever you are into mate..? lol
Kevin is a loser who tells people what they want to hear instead of making the tough calls as the previous govt did. Shouldn't our troops all be home by now and we shouldn't be burning coal anymore... get real Kevin, get real Tongs you losers.
NO,1 the last labor goverment racked up a debt of $96 billion.The Howard goverment through tough decision making wiped off labors debt and achieve a surplus of $22billion.
No2 This idiot, that inept people like your self voted for has, in 8 months put us $42billion in the red.
No3 before you start baggin out the best prime minister Australia has hadlearn a bit more buddy.
Peter costello is one of the smartest Economic Finacial Adviser`s the country`s seen
it's great that you clearly write with true passion, however, its nothing more than your own opinion sniping on death ears. Probadly best finding a different video? as in fucking off
Why would we want to celebrate the downfall of the Howard govt. Have a look at the state of the country now...
Guarantee we wouldn't be in as big a mess with Johhny and Peter running the show. These pretenders have got no idea. Great song, not very intelligent lyrics unfortunately.
Sounds like "the propaganda of prosperity" through "rose-coloured glasses"! Even if Johhny and Pete were here to beat off Canada and win the trophy for Best National Management in Time of Global Crisis, they would still go down in history besmirched, as witting liars and debasers of human rights and Australian dignity. I think these lyrics are very intelligent.
Johnny and Peter are magicians who could have put a magic force-field around Australia to make us immune to the effects of the global economic meltdown. Good one!
i saw The Herd at Woodford Folk Festival at the Ampi Thearte and at the Grande. They were fantastic and this song was absoultely amazing. it was probably was of the most happy moments of my life,i know it sounds corny but it WAS!
I like this song, don't get me wrong. But i was disappointed to hear it was about Howard. I'm not a fan of any government, but it's very easy to criticise. Sure Howard made some mistakes, but as if any government doesn't. Keep politics out of music, to keep music sacred.
i disagree mate... music is about expression and this is how they feel, to not sing about it would be failure to express themselfs.. where would they be as musicians if they did not speak their mind and what inspires their fire ?
I see your point, and i agree with expression. However, i feel the topic of a governments choices are all to easy to criticise. Think about the millions of people who live in Aus, and it;s simply impossible to keep every1 happy. you never hear songs of politicians and how good they went etc. I just think its to easy to criticise the choices a government made.
isnt music an avenue of expression including points of view.
So removing opinions regarding politics from music would be like censorship and in do that it would be counter productive to the communicative device that music is.
How would a group who have a political opinion that make music express their opinion other than music?
I believe music have been used as a political voice for hundreds of years, for example the "protest song"
Oi lachan SB you dumb fuck, if you want more proof that this song is about the downfall of John Howard just go listen to their song 77% and you'll just realise how much The Herd hate J.H.
how old are you lachlans b?? are you some fucking 11 year thinking your so cool talkingi about drugs?? ITS ABOUT JHON HOWARD YOU FUCKING PIN!! get over your self and if you don't believe every commenter against you ask the band then! ITS ABOUT JHON HOWARD ok? get it into your dumb old head you fucking retard!!
lachlanSB u dumb ass the herd are not gangsta rappers, not ozzie's are that what makes them sick, u think this is about drug wars? your fucked its about john Howard loosing the title of PM use ur head and stop presuming all hip hop is about drugs and bitches, its not!
hay actualy i know the band and the song is about drugs killing drivbys and gangs you dick wad i men when it shoes the paint bit it is actualy meant to be blood of a fallen homie and the hole dead king is dead is a king pin of drugs and now they have his turf and they can sell more drugs.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
this is not about politics its about frive bys in the ghetto i mean lisen to the lyrics and you will see striaght away. When it says the king is dead it means the drug king of that particular gang and the other gang is dancing about it cause they have now got there teritory
For those that care, the Mandarin at 0:53 is a quote from SunTzu, "san shi liu ji, zou wei shang ce". Roughly translated it means "escaping is the best solution".
I faced a period in my life where I took alot of heavy shit, people putting me down, no one beleiving in me. This song helped me change all that by showing me that as it says in the song "everything will change, nothing stays the same". and now as it said everything is different, Iv picked myself up and dusted off
awesome song. I'm seventeen so i really don't give one shit who is leading the country. as long as i'm getting paid and living free like we are i'm happy oh and the herd putting out more sick songs.
Mate, I can understand it if you're having trouble connecting to poiltics, but trust me, it's probably a good thing if you give at least one shit. People of ourage are about to go to uni, get jobs, move out of home etc. and how easy or hard this is is going to depend on politics.
What we need is some real leaders. Poli's being the topic, as if they are ever going to be our saviour? Money Money f'n money. It is gross, but reality. Sad thing is, we don't know who is lying, who is telling the truth. I like your comment, sorry if mine is a bit passionate sounding, but I love the herd, love any music that doesn't rely on "baby lets get it on, shake that booty and ra ra" and actually gets people thinking about the real stuff.
hahaha damnationreborn should go back to his labor meeting and work out how many times krudd can fit 'working families' into his next speech. then you could go and screw the economy up some more. then have a meeting about it. then screw the economy some more. then have another meeting before passing it off to a special council
our boys arent back from iraq,they wont be coming back for a long time the reason that john howard sent our troops over is because america are our allies i agree that no war is good but we have been side by side england and america since world war 1.you think john is such an evil man have a look at saddam who has killed millions but all u dumb cunts care about is what mistakes john made even tho he did so much more stop been soft cocks.saying everything must change is a cop out..stop been faires
btw dylza12345, the unemployment over the 11 years howard was in office was misreported, Anyone who actually looked into what he was doing over that period will soon realise that the work for the dole scheme was just that... A scheme, Anyone doing work for the dole at the time was classed as employed. think about the effect that will have on the percentage of unemployment. Bah! Howard Sucks but Rudd sucks less... For now anyway.
Once again another right wing poodle walker has got it wrong.
The herd are awesome! Better to have cruddy ruddy in for the short term, to get pecker head howard out of office. Like the song says, Everything must change. Get used to it ;)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
lol sorry man didnt realise just want a smart guy you really are woo iam shocked you read yr 9 books you can get stats out of nowhere and you believe everything howard has said,waot a minute your not howard right ? and you blindy follow like a sheep YOU MUST be lil johnny wheres bush buddy think his calling for his bitch back
and your just a blue collar worker stuck in a rut from your own fault, yet you have nothing better to do than to blaim the government. And you are easily persuaded by this speech going "working families, working families, working families" and you go with the flow and vote labor because you think it sounds good and its what your mates believe. Sounds more sheep like to me. At least I made my own decision to support liberal by not being easily persuaded by the double speak labor use
lol well i was a working class man so i can see from both sides, i am now a wanker behind a computer 2 now so bah bah but anyways none of my 'blue collar ' mates voted labor they made their own minds up mind you i did get a few of them to go labor but really i dont mind who you vote for,dardy you need to look up some info about the what howard did to the oconomy not just the stuff bias media told you rudd has only just started and already he has made us more interested/carethenhoward didin12yrs
Notice to damnationreborn you say you were working class then what the hell are you now? For 1. in Australia I thought you saw your selves as classless leaving the whole class thing to the English. 2.What ever class you are born into is what you stay through out your life just because a person worked down the pitts and won OZ lotto on Saturday and ditched his mates and moves to a more wealthy area does not make him middle class it has nothing to do with wealth. What class are you?
cough cough .........lol mate you dont understand its not about class and yah we have class's in australia thats not my point read the whole thing before you jump on a wagon,besides your not even australian so that piss's me off
haha son are you special the government cant control interest rates mate they have NO effect on them whatsoever similar with inflation, its more controlled by global economic climate and the reserve bank's choices and for ur implied positive points there (i dont know any idiots that voted for GST) there are plenty of negatives tampa childeren overboard iraq medicare telstra fuck you Johnny glad to see the back of the wanker...btw i hope u got the point of the son dylza.. everything must change
Yes I know the RBA controls Interest Rates. But its the Microeconomic Reform that the Government can implement and Budgetary Policy that helps lower inflation thus reducing interest rates.
Go read an year 9 economics textbook befor you reply to this post
does capitalising random words make you feel like a big boy? 'an year 9 exonomics textbook'
go read an english textbook?
yes exonomic reform creates downward pressure on interest rates but its just one of a plethera of factors
what about the mining boom and general worldwide market boom has been goin on for the last 10 years.... perhaps that would also create that downward pressure?
besides even with the sound economic management that characterised the liberal government's 11 year reign... cont
How bout you pull you head from your mum`s busted arse become more educated before you open that cock stained mouth of yours/
Just tell me you inept fuck,how much was the last labor gov in the red for?
how long did the liberals take to pay it off and also get a 22 billion surplus all you youbg dumb fucks who voted for a change cos you grew up under the one gov are retarded.
And as for the chidren overboard every pollietells lies
as i said in my previous comment which you obviously didnt take the time to understand... its not all about the economy mate
sure the howard government created massive surplusses but at what cost
they hardly spent any of it on anything other than a still out of date and relatively pointless military... HE SOLD FUCKING TELSTRA
why do you think we are in such a pile of shit trying to upgrade the country's internet now... because the gov has no control over the nations telecoms....
...im not the biggest fan of the rudd gov either and personally, if i was 18 a year earlier i would have voted for a conscientious group controlling the balance of power... ie. the greens
because its obvious in this country that no one party has the ability to govern effectively.... we need a mix so that even the government has to compromise and make allowances
dont lie to yourself and try to tell everyone here that another 3 years of howard would have been a good thing
Bro not everyone was in WWI and WWII

NO,1 the last labor goverment racked up a debt of $96 billion.The Howard goverment through tough decision making wiped off labors debt and achieve a surplus of $22billion.
No2 This idiot, that inept people like your self voted for has, in 8 months put us $42billion in the red.
No3 before you start baggin out the best prime minister Australia has hadlearn a bit more buddy.

Why would we want to celebrate the downfall of the Howard govt. Have a look at the state of the country now...
Guarantee we wouldn't be in as big a mess with Johhny and Peter running the show. These pretenders have got no idea. Great song, not very intelligent lyrics unfortunately.
BFJHUNTER 3 years ago
Sounds like "the propaganda of prosperity" through "rose-coloured glasses"! Even if Johhny and Pete were here to beat off Canada and win the trophy for Best National Management in Time of Global Crisis, they would still go down in history besmirched, as witting liars and debasers of human rights and Australian dignity. I think these lyrics are very intelligent.

Johnny and Peter are magicians who could have put a magic force-field around Australia to make us immune to the effects of the global economic meltdown. Good one!

I like this song, don't get me wrong. But i was disappointed to hear it was about Howard. I'm not a fan of any government, but it's very easy to criticise. Sure Howard made some mistakes, but as if any government doesn't. Keep politics out of music, to keep music sacred.
Checkmatemate1 3 years ago
i disagree mate... music is about expression and this is how they feel, to not sing about it would be failure to express themselfs.. where would they be as musicians if they did not speak their mind and what inspires their fire ?
choicesdefineus 3 years ago
I see your point, and i agree with expression. However, i feel the topic of a governments choices are all to easy to criticise. Think about the millions of people who live in Aus, and it;s simply impossible to keep every1 happy. you never hear songs of politicians and how good they went etc. I just think its to easy to criticise the choices a government made.

but, in saying that
isnt music an avenue of expression including points of view.
So removing opinions regarding politics from music would be like censorship and in do that it would be counter productive to the communicative device that music is.
How would a group who have a political opinion that make music express their opinion other than music?
I believe music have been used as a political voice for hundreds of years, for example the "protest song"

I faced a period in my life where I took alot of heavy shit, people putting me down, no one beleiving in me. This song helped me change all that by showing me that as it says in the song "everything will change, nothing stays the same". and now as it said everything is different, Iv picked myself up and dusted off

What we need is some real leaders. Poli's being the topic, as if they are ever going to be our saviour? Money Money f'n money. It is gross, but reality. Sad thing is, we don't know who is lying, who is telling the truth. I like your comment, sorry if mine is a bit passionate sounding, but I love the herd, love any music that doesn't rely on "baby lets get it on, shake that booty and ra ra" and actually gets people thinking about the real stuff.

our boys arent back from iraq,they wont be coming back for a long time the reason that john howard sent our troops over is because america are our allies i agree that no war is good but we have been side by side england and america since world war 1.you think john is such an evil man have a look at saddam who has killed millions but all u dumb cunts care about is what mistakes john made even tho he did so much more stop been soft cocks.saying everything must change is a cop out..stop been faires

btw dylza12345, the unemployment over the 11 years howard was in office was misreported, Anyone who actually looked into what he was doing over that period will soon realise that the work for the dole scheme was just that... A scheme, Anyone doing work for the dole at the time was classed as employed. think about the effect that will have on the percentage of unemployment. Bah! Howard Sucks but Rudd sucks less... For now anyway.

and your just a blue collar worker stuck in a rut from your own fault, yet you have nothing better to do than to blaim the government. And you are easily persuaded by this speech going "working families, working families, working families" and you go with the flow and vote labor because you think it sounds good and its what your mates believe. Sounds more sheep like to me. At least I made my own decision to support liberal by not being easily persuaded by the double speak labor use
dylza12345 3 years ago
lol well i was a working class man so i can see from both sides, i am now a wanker behind a computer 2 now so bah bah but anyways none of my 'blue collar ' mates voted labor they made their own minds up mind you i did get a few of them to go labor but really i dont mind who you vote for,dardy you need to look up some info about the what howard did to the oconomy not just the stuff bias media told you rudd has only just started and already he has made us more interested/carethenhoward didin12yrs

Notice to damnationreborn you say you were working class then what the hell are you now?

What class are you?

Yes I know the RBA controls Interest Rates. But its the Microeconomic Reform that the Government can implement and Budgetary Policy that helps lower inflation thus reducing interest rates.

because its obvious in this country that no one party has the ability to govern effectively.... we need a mix so that even the government has to compromise and make allowances
dont lie to yourself and try to tell everyone here that another 3 years of howard would have been a good thing
