I Wanna See Oka Everywhere

I WANNA SEE OKA EVERYWHERE by Propagandhi

this is a tab and words of a rare song off of a 10 inch vinyl split of

propagandi and i*spy called "I’d rather be flag burning!" it’s also, as far

as picking goes, one of their hardest songs. this record was released when

they were still on their own G-7 Welcoming Committee record label. They are

currently on Fat Wreck-chords.

defined:

7x = muffle 7th fret and pick downward

now drums and bass play alone while chris sings:

but this song’s not about some romantic account of history, it’s not about

martyrs or mythos or heroes

or burnings in effigy. it’s about a native kid flipping her wig to try to

keep some self-respect in tact.

it’s about an oka who raised her fist in resistance, and a will to fight

back!

verses 1 and 2

words:

verse1

the girls at work, they still deny their racism. they claim tolerance for

all, but it seems the degree of only

racial slurs as their gauge defines tolerance as hate. and there’s

27-million girls at work here. imagine fighting that 500 years.

verse2

And golly gee! how valiant! how the white oppressor makes allowance for the

calculated gestures of

insurgence tightly tethered to their purses. oka had this orchestra

aborted. oka f***ed the rules to choose a future self-determined. i

support *it.

*here’s where you start playing this little solo

words:

end

and the best thing i think i ever said, was ‘if a Kevin Costner cavalry is

your means to their ends, then the struggle is dead.’ why do we pretend

approval is upon what they depend?

any questions, e-mail brian at hinz0029@tc.umn.edu

i also take requests if you want me to tab any other propagandhi song
