A cover of the 1980 post-punk song from Ski Patrol, dealing with the horrors of the Vietnam conflict. We kept the essence of the original, but made it very much our own. This is my protest track, to voice my dissent against the current American administration.
lyrics
Agent orange, I'm on fire
I'll be tall like a soldier
I will burn for the camera
Gasp of horror in an armchair
Across the world in a moment
There's no time for sentiment
Cue expression, outraged
Declamation, upstaged
Agent orange, I'm on fire
No-one knows, it's like magic
Ask me why, it's a living
Count of heads, it's so easy
Napalm dawn, I'll be busy
It's a game, we're all children
It's a game, we're all children
Agent orange, I'm on fire

It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days.
Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago. modestwriggles
