Beccy Cole shows the Dixie Chicks how it's done!

Simply Amazing!!!

Australian singer, Beccy Cole, responds to fans that disagree with her support of the Diggers, the Australian soldiers fighting the war in Iraq. The Dixie Chicks should take notice to the proper way to respond to fans disagreements and criticisms!




"When I returned from the Middle East earlier this year, I felt so proud of the Australian troops I had met. I was extremely inspired by these hard working and enthusiastic young Australians and I wanted to write a song that would pay tribute to them. I'm delighted that Poster Girl has reached the number one position, I hope I've been able to spread the pride." -Beccy Cole


Since couldn't find the official lyrics to the song I did my best to transcribe them:

You won't listen to my songs anymore... you ripped my poster off the wall... cuzz i'm the singer that went to the war... you see no good in me at all...

Well pardon me if i believe I haven't got it wrong... and before you turn your back on me I'll sing you one more song...

Cuzz I shook hands with a digger on the wrong side of the world... with a wife at home who holds her breath and brand new baby girl...

And the digger fights for freedom... in a job that must be done... and I let go of his hand so proud to be Australian...

And if unlike me you feel no pride at all... then go ahead and take me... off your wall...

Cuzz i prefer to be a poster girl... on the wrong side of the world...

And I'm just the girl who sings the crazy songs... not qualified to sit and judge...

I've been right and I know I've been wrong... but I'm for peace and I'm for love...

And I admire the burning fire that causes you to fight...
I only wish the wrong side of the word.... had the same rights...

Cuzz I listened to the wisdom of the aussie brigadier... he spoke of widows and of orphans and need to dry their tears...

And he leads the fight for freedom... in a job that must be done...and I've never been more proud to say that I'm Australian...

And if unlike me you feel no pride at all... then go ahead and take me... off your wall...

Cuzz I prefer to be a poster girl... on the wrong side of the world...

Maybe i'm naive to think we all could get along... but sir I read your words and all I ask... is hear my song...

I shook hands with a digger on the wrong side of the world... with a wife at home who holds her breath and brand new baby girl...

And the digger fights for freedom in a job that must be done... and I've never been more proud to say that I'm Australian...

And if unlike me you feel no pride at all... then go ahead and take me... off your wall...

Cuzz I prefer to be a poster girl... on the wrong side of the world...

I'm so proud to be a poster girl... on the wrong side of the world!
