about

"Gilly Pull the Trigger" is a dedication to Australia's former Human Rights Commissioner, Gillian Triggs, who particularly promoted indigenous and refugee issues during her time as the HRC. She was dogged by the Abbott Government and the Murdoch press, but stood tall. Her ammunition was her integrity, her moral purpose and evidence, the trigger was her intellect and voice; we're not promoting violence here!

Committed to 1/4 inch tape by Luke Yeoward at Half Way Records, "Gilly Pull The Trigger” is he second single from the band's debut long player, "Fight The Good Fight", which will be released in the latter part of 2019. The accompanying video, produced by Mark Bakaitis, features footage of Gillian Triggs.

lyrics

Gilly Pull The Trigger

Gilly pull the trigger,
Gilly pull the trigger,
Gilly pull the trigger blow them all away!

Did you hear the news today,
That the President of the HRC
Wants to help the people, help the people?
Says if it’s out of mind, it’s out of sight,
These human rights are regressive,
She wants to help the people, help the people!
But what can she do when the Government opposes
Everything she says?
She wants to help the people, help the people!
Says that it’s time that we had a Bill Of Rights;
What does she want?
She wants to help the people, help the people,
Help the fucking people!

Chorus

Take a look back through our chequered history
And it will soon be apparent,
We don’t help the people, help the people.
Stolen land, the First Fleet, Brit Colonials,
Drive a black man off his land,
We don’t help the people, help the people!
White Australia Policy, Immigration Act,
All restrictive forms!
We don’t help the people, help the people!
Keating and detention, Howard and the Tampa,
Gillard does a backflip,
Wants to stop the boats, stop the boats,
Stop the fucking boats!

Chorus

about

The One Twos Melbourne, Australia

The One Twos knock out, old school inspired punk, with slaps of garage and dashes of reggae. All swagger and no frills, the music is served up with gritty guitar, plucky bass and thumping drums and acidic vocals – is anything else really needed? Lyrically, “protest punk” would be a fair description for the band’s songs. ... more
