The ISA Song - Malaysiakini

The ISA Song

Sung to the tune of Down Under by Men at Work…

Traveling in a fried-out combie
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange botak, he made me nervous
He detained me under ISA
And he said,

Do you know a land called UMNO?
Where bloggers harassed and UMNO plunder?
Cant you hear, cant you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover.

Buying bread from a man in Chow Kit
He was five foot four and stomach bulging
I said, do you speak-a my language?
He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich
And he said,

I live in a land called UMNO
Where ISA means Ikut Suka Aku
Cant you hear, cant you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover.

Lying in a cell in Kamunting
With a slack jaw, and not much to say
I said to the man, why do you detain me?
Because I come from the land of plenty?
And he said,

Oh! do you come from a land called Malaysia? (oh yeah oh yeah)
Where bloggers harassed and UMNO plunder?
Cant you hear, cant you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover.
