The Australian "Nationalist" Anthem
Chris Pearson

Australians, don't worry
Your pretty little heads
About all those weapons
Or what has been said
War is best left
Within expert hands
Journos, like whores
Supply on demand

Murdoch's news empire
Will get its reward
Farewell to the Senate
Soon thrown overboard
Proles of Australia
Don't ponder such things
Just keep your attention
On mobile-phone rings

Surprise! Baghdad blitz
But no law and order
Less hard questions please
More right-wing reporters
The ABC's biased
Prone to criticism
We'd much prefer someone
Who'll swallow our jism

The US brought justice
It settled the score
And made fertile ground
For more holy war
"The UN is useless..."
The right-wingers yelp
Until things go badly...
Now they beg for help

Perhaps our Pauline
Will break out of prison
Then make for the coastline
To find a boat hidden
Then set out to sail
And seek for asylum
Perhaps Indonesia?
Or Solomon Islands?

The right-wingers bleat
"The free show the way"
But if we're too free...
"Our morals decay"
So, right-wing "thinkers"
Just where do you stand?
Is freedom gay rights or
Fred Nile's Taliban?

Is freedom no Senate
So you're free to govern?
Without free debate
Or open discussion?
Of course you will lead us
With strength and persistance
And make tough decisions
When at a safe distance

You'll give us the means
To judge who's worthwhile
An occupied Arab?
A priest paedophile?
Hollingworth knows
Who gains sympathy
The "victim of circumstance"
That he let walk free...

Remember the Nazis?
They thrived on great fear
"There's evil among us"
"The evil is here"
Now Arabs are "tribal"
A sub-human level
Like back when the Jews were
"In league with the Devil"

The Arabs are worthless
For they produce tyrants
Who massacre people
Much like Martin Bryant
And hateful extremists
Like Yank "KKK"
And terrorist goons
Like Timothy McVeigh

Remember the time
We lynched those black people?
From under the shadow
Of our Churches steeple?
Now Christian is "good"
And Islam is "evil"
'Cos Christians have might
And Muslims are feeble

"OUR women have rights!"
Conservatives cry
Rights won by those lefties
That they so despise
Not so long ago
A feminist charge
Did grant girls permission
To drink in our bars

But now on the Left
They're all taking drugs
And think the world's problems
Are solved by group hugs
That's why they continue
To spout crackpot theory
Like "all men are equal"
And "judge not, lest you be..."

Home renovations
Stainless steel kitchens
Dob in a traitor
Burn all the witches
Loud you will cheer
The ASIO crew
Who drag off your neighbours
'Til one day it's you...

Now worship the flag
Don't think of a reason
For if you start thinking
They'll get you for treason
And then they'll conscript you
And send you to die
Out there in the desert
For cheap oil supply

Just follow the leader
That's all you should do
Good yes-men are there
To tell us what's true
Now go wave your flags
Like tribesmen in frenzy
Screw weaklings and concepts like
Equivalency...
