about

Written after a 5-month experience playing ukulele on a man-made island off the Arabian Peninsula in the Middle East.

lyrics

Music and fire, fancy attire. We'll draw you a crowd, and make your boss proud. As puppets we'll play, all bloody day. We'll do as you say, as long as you pay.

But I draw the line, when it comes to this. Give me the fine for one kiss.

Raise the alarm, she doesn't conform. Break down the walls in these buildings you're paying for. We can fight but how with no right, enslaved in this city you have made.

You brought us here, you broke the law, and then you complain that we've taken it too far. Stuck in Qatar.

You say, "Who needs them, if they express creative freedom? Play us a cover, and then we'll ask for another." Show us some style we'll pack you away and send you to exile.

You brought us here, against the law, and then you complain that we've taken it too far. Stuck in Qatar.
