about

The acoustic version of The Tsunami, The Tank & The Barcode from the Captain What sessions 2007-09

lyrics

I went on a voyage, in search of some credibility
But all I found was the greasy underbelly of the global economy
They send out their hired guns, lay a trail for the middle class
But I see through this, to all the future tourists in Iraq

I don’t believe a thing you say
I don’t believe it

The tsunami, the tank and the barcode
Forget everything you’ve been told
We were always on our own
The tsunami, the tank and the barcode
They left you in the cold
We were always on our own

This is for all the corporate campfires, where we sit around and sing Jack Johnson
And the arrogant wankers, who come home with genuine Thai Coca-cola clothes on

All your tourist dollars go back home
All your tourist dollars go back home
All your tourist dollars go back home
All your tourist dollars go home

[ Chorus ]

I’m a tourist with blood on my shoulders
I’m a tourist with blood on my shoulders

Your tsunami dollars go back home
They’re mismanaged by governments that you know
Your tsunami dollars go back home
So all you tourists, why don’t you go home?

[ Chorus ]

I’m a tourist with blood on my shoulders, can you take it can you fake it and I told you so
I’m a tourist with blood on my shoulders, can you take it can you fake it and I told you so
I’m a tourist with blood on my shoulders, can you take it can you fake it and I told you so
I’m a tourist with blood on my shoulders

[ Chorus ]
