Tampaknya di tahun 2016 ini akan menjadi tahun dengan banyak petisi. Situs kampanye berisi petisi di change.org cukup menarik untuk perubahan bangsa. Nama Parkway Drive di lagu Vide Grip diharapkan menjadi lagu baru kebangsaan Australia. Haha, apa yang ada di pikiran mereka, edaan…

PARKWAY DRIVE

Orang-orang ingin apa yang mereka inginkan.

“It’s been out for 7 months now m8. Get a stubby and your aussie flag thongs and listen to some pwd. Do it for the Aussie Battlers. Aussie government. “You know the choice you have to make”

YEEEEEEEEEEAH YEAH YEAHHHHHHHHH

KEEP THE FLAME ALIVE

Lagu kebangsaan Australia menurut para pendukung petisi kurang ‘greget’. Bahkan terkesan lagu ‘nina bobo’

Coba bandingkan dengan lagu metal / post-hardcore ala Parkway Drive – Vice Grip

Lirik lagu Parkway Drive – Vice Grip

“Vice Grip”

A system of complete control. The pressure builds
It wraps its hands around your throat. A constant battle
A silent war of mind and soul

(Yeah, yeah, yeah!) Get up, get up
One life, one shot, give it all you got
(Yeah, yeah, yeah!) Get up, get up

Keep the flame alive

Hope for the hopeless, a light in the darkness
Hope for the hopeless, a light in, a light in the dark

(A light in the dark)

The chains set to break your soul. Day by day
You know the choice you have to make
Freeze up and fade
Or be the flame that lights the way

(Yeah, yeah, yeah!) Get up, get up
One life, one shot, give it all you got
(Yeah, yeah, yeah!) Get up, get up

Keep the flame alive

Hope for the hopeless. A light in the darkness
Hope for the hopeless. You’ve got one life, one shot
Give it all you got

Ill’s got a vice grip, like ice running down your spine
This world, it’s got you in its sights

Rise, rise. Rise, rise. It’s all or nothing.
Rise, rise. Rise, rise. It’s do or die.
Rise. Rise. Rise.

(Yeah, yeah, yeah!) Get up, get up
One life, one shot, give it all you got
(Yeah, yeah, yeah!) Get up, get up

Keep the flame alive

Hope for the hopeless, a light in the darkness
Hope for the hopeless, a light in the dark
We stand for the faithless and the broken
Hope for the hopeless, a light in, a light in the dark

Yeeep,  dari lagu yang sangat enerjik ditunjang dengan lirik lagu perjuangan dan theme video klip tentang military, rasanya masuk akal juga untuk mengganti lagu kebangsaan Australia yang lama dan membosankan. Great job Parkway Drive!
