AUSTRALIA
We are one step away from
the endangered species list
If we don't act now we won't exist
Like a plague of Alzheimer's
We've forgotten who we are.
Time to wake up remember
Hoges in his blue stubbies
And Strop with his cheeky grin
That’s the Aussie larikin we all have within.
It's our government ego to be recognised
On the world's political stage
Takes us further from our original page
Like an Afganistan, model we're punching above our weight.
Worse than the global recession our identity is at stake.
Renowned around the world for our layback attitude
The way use swear words
doesn't make them sound so rude.
Shit, I heard the priest say fuck before he offered the body of Christ.
We swear in every sentence it's just a part of life.
Fuck I bet its taught in one of our institutions
Believe me, swearing is in our Constitution.
Steve Irwin was our ambassador when it came to the Aussie lingo.
He gave you a close-up view of our deadly wildlife and loves to run with Dingoes.
This government is behind this
There's no one else to blame
Like red wine spilt on your shirt
It's going to leave a stain.
You only need to look at
prime ministers from the past
Whitlam, Hawke and Keating
Could all make us laugh
In business there's Kerry Packer loves being in Vegas and tipping thousands to the staff.
Then a big Texan tried to challenge him
While standing at the bar.
"Wait there," Kerry said " I have $30 million
In the ashtray of my car
"I'll toss you mate brought the room to laughter.
Usain Bolt couldn't have left the room any fucken faster.
Kerry Packer was a character some say larger than life.
A few months later would be sending condolences to his wife.
The news read on Kerry's death and the Liberals...
