State of the Nation

Well, these days

It’s hard to believe

The elected are there to lead

 Pushing misinformation

And falsities, with added subtitles

And emotive rhetoric

Catch this dummy, over no beat,

Cos it’s all f***ing truth

In front of your eyes to see

Paraded over digital feeds

Serving who? Ain't you and me

Now make sure you hear me clearly (PAUSE)  

Hook:

They’ve got us believing in a false dream’n,

It’s not what it seems’n, we gotta wake up to challenge our fate,

Cos if we stay this road, we’ll decay not grow –

‘n’ I can’t take that so (PAUSE):

This is a call to action, for every colour and faction –

That our time is lapsin’ so forget the distractions.

I’m ashamed,- parties play political games

Running in circles to shift the blame

No sense of an “Australian way”

Lack the spine of a Statesman

Aimless, Nd blind conceit

Air'n water just aren’t as sweet?

Mine up, Nd take a sip of concrete

While the First People have no seat

Nd mentally-ill starve on the street

Nd Rosie’s women march to their beat

Nd “boats” of broken people are struck

All-to-fall, at the feet, of our nation, in defeat   

(Spoken): So, let me re-establish ‘the nature of the threat’

It’s the one in a suit

That plunders n loots

Nd' they’re in every ethnic group

(Spoken): I’m not radical or revolutionary

I don’t make stacks,

I pay tax Nd' sit around n watch movies to sooth me

I eat meat and beat my meat to porn

But before the point is overdrawn

Nd I offend everyone with the poem 

People reject what they don’t understand

So, let me make it simple: (1) there is no sequel (2) with no end in sight, (3) the future looks lethal

(Spoken): Now everybody stand-up to the National Anthem.

Australian’s are all disgraced,

For we can plainly see;

Our system does not serve (ice) us;

From now it cannot be;

Our hands are bound, it needs to shift

Our beauty in despair;

Cos history’s page will be amazed

We’re advancing to nowhere,

With all we have we still don’t see

We’re advancing to nowhere! (Cut the beat)
