The next time I heard #SineadOConnor 's (#ShudadaSadaqat 's ) voice was later in 1987, on #WorldParty's premiere album, #PrivateRevolution. Sinead provided backing vocals and helped out with a few songs. #KarlWallinger returned the favor by helping Sinead with her premiere album, The Lion and the Cobra!

On one song in particular, #HawaiianIslandWorld , Sinead provides the haunting vocals of someone being sacrificed -- but to what is she being sacrificed to? Perhaps to the "gods" of #CorporateColonialism!

Hawaiian Island World

"The shopkeeper from Illinois came round
A freshly fired gun in his hand
He said he'd just shot a young poet
For writing something he didn't understand
Gone were the lines that he loved to forget
Safe were the folk words of truth would upset
With God right behind him
His gun by his side
There was nowhere for these weirdos
To run or to hide
The day of their judgement
It was due to arrive
Get them on the record
Make sure they don't survive
And we can all sit watching
Our Hawaiian Island world"

- World Party, 1987

How's that #HawaiianIslandWorld looking like these days? I'd say it's looking pretty bleak...
