The party that became so powerful by sinking
|
foreign boats
|
Is dreaming up new promises because promises
|
win votes
|
And being resolute in conference with the
|
ad man's expertise
|
The majority by their silence shall pay for days like these
|
|
The right to build communities is back behind
|
closed doors
|
'Tween government and people stands the right arm
|
of the law
|
And shame upon the patriot when the mark of the
|
Bulldog Breed
|
Is a family without a home and a pensioner in need
|
|
Those whose lives are ruled by dogma are waiting
|
for a sign
|
The Better Dead Than Red Brigade are listening on the line
|
And the liberal, with a small L cries in front of the TV
|
And another demonstration passes on to history
|
Peace, bread, work, and freedom is the best we
|
can achieve
|
And wearing badges is not enough in days like these
|
