Almost every portion of the land belongs to a very small minority. - would be more like it.

You are the odd one today, aren't you?

"i'll stop standing still for it in the mornings now" Is that not the wankiest statement you'll read for a long while?

"Those sneaky b'stard Thais, if they had told me the words of the anthem, I'd never have stopped before. I'll show them! Civil disobedience. That will fuck 'em. When they see me brazenly striding through the standing minions they'll say to themselves "Oh shit, we should have changed the words, now we've upset a farang! O woe is us!!"

Yeah righto henry, you give it to 'em

English translation.

Thailand is founded on the blood and flesh of Thai people under the control of the Chinese immigrant businessmen,

Every portion of the land belongs to us, but not the expensive places where the government build their holiday homes

The reason why this country still exists is because of the sun, sand and sex

We Thai are peace-loving people but in time of war uncowardly, we'll fight to the bitter end, unless you're Japanese

None is allowed to oppress and destroy our independence, only if you're rich and powerful

To sacrifice every droplet of blood as a national offering, we are always ready, especially if you're an unconvicted drug dealer, a lawyer representing some Muslim lads or get in the way of a mafia dons shopping mall development scheme

For the sake of our country's progress, just look at our new airport, and victory where we were beaten by Singapore at football for fucks sake,

CHAIYO!

Thought as much!

Welcome all you foreign guests,
We want to share our land with you,
You are invited to come and purchase
Small parcels of land from us.

We will give our blood willingly
To the hospital blood bank,
We are all citizens of the world,
So please have a nice day!

My suggestion for alternative lyrics.

God of nations! at Thy feet

In the bonds of love we meet,

Hear our voices, we entreat,

God defend our Free Land.

Guard Pacific's triple star,

From the shafts of strife and war,

Make her praises heard afar,

God defend New Zealand


Men of ev'ry creed and race

Gather here before Thy face,

Asking Thee to bless this place,

God defend our Free Land.

From dissension, envy, hate,

And corruption guard our State,

Make our country good and great,

God defend New Zealand.

Ours isn't to blood curdling....but really national anthems are silly, I bet most kiwis don't know it, we generally don't fly the flag (we DO need a new one), I mean it all really needs to stem from thinking you're better or superior to other lumps of dirt....which is just funny.

God save our gracious Queen,
La, la, la, la, la, la,
La, la, la, la, la, la,
La, la, la, la, la, la,
La, la, la, la, la, la,
God save our Queen!

England.

^ I always wanted "Rule Britannia" as our anthem myself.
