Been reading The Age; there on the page is a rebel without applause -
|
In the State politics game things wont be the same and you know that's because
|
Of the man who's black; by Christ he's back - if you're vegetable, animal, mineral,
|
He'll give you a bath - he's Ches Baragwanath, the State Auditor General.
|
|
He's auditing's Brando, accountancy's Rambo, his calculator's full of malice;
|
If you've a dodgy practise, buddy you're cactus if your books don't fucking balance.
|
If you think I'm kiddin' ask Jim Kennan, who retreated into his kennel
|
When he got in the path of Ches Baragwanath, State Auditor General.
|
|
Beware lest he's after your testes - if you've got a current account deficit,
|
He'll lock you in a room, hand you a spoon, make you eat peanuts out of his shit -
|
There ain't nothin' colder than a tap on the shoulder and a voice of authority says:
|
"Name's Baragwanath, I'll cut you in half - my friends, they call me Ches."
|
|
Chorus
|
The Republic's coming
|
And it needs a pres'
|
No Kennett, no Keating -
|
All power to Ches.
|
