You've no doubt heard by now about Cyclone Nargis, the storm that devastated Burma (also known as Myanmar) last week. Tens of thousands -- perhaps over a hundred thousand -- people are believed to have been killed by the storm. The dire situation is only being compounded by the country's ruling military dictatorship, which has been reticent to let foreign aid workers into the country for fear that exposing their people to foreigners will lead the citizens of Burma to agitate for political change. It's downright tragic -- a natural disaster compunded by a manmade one. If you can, consider donating to a charity that is aiding the people of Burma -- for example Oxfam or UNICEF.
Benefit concerts are de rigeur in situations like this. I haven't heard of a benefit concert being organized for the victims of Nargis, but if one happens, these guys would be a natural to play.
Academy Fight Song
Mission of Burma
Walk into my room
Ask me jerky questions
Don't mean what you say
Immaculate protection
Play by the rules
So close to the vest
Hope that all's not lost
And this is not a waste
Stay just as far from me
As me from you
Make sure that you are sure
Of everything I do
'Cause I'm not not not not not not not not
Your academy
Your academy
The halls smell like piss
The rooms are underlit
Still it must be nice
You're such a perfect fit
What's that I hear?
The sound of marching feet
It has a strange allure
It has a strange... allure
Stay just as far from me
As me from you
Make sure that you are sure
Of everything I do
'Cause I'm not not not not not not not not
Your academy
Your academy
Maybe you're right
I shouldn't judge
What's wrong or right
This is too much
I'm not judging you, I'm judging me
My academy
Your academy
My academy
Your academy
