"The History Of Western Civilisation" is the second single by TISM off their 1990 album Hot Dogma. Song Though the title of the song indicates a rather broad topic for a three-minute song to encapsulate, the focus of the song is actually on the Western Suburbs of TISM's home town of Melbourne and the differences between those suburbs, which tend to be poorer, more working class and generally of a lower socio-economic status than the more affluent Eastern & South-eastern suburbs. The song lists various offensive things a man can do, such as building an abattoir on Anzac Cove, as long as the man does not come from the Western Suburbs. If he does, he "gets what deserves". According to the liner notes for the album, the song features a cameo blues harp appearance, performed by oft silent TISM member, Jon St. Peenis. The song was included in TISM's "best of" album tism.bestoff.
