"Hep Cat Ballad"

Them Liberal-National coalition,
Right-Wing Christian superstition,
climate denialist men and women,
are gonna be the death of you and me.
Us inner-city, cheap-wine-sippin’,
bleedin’ heart, asylum giving,
kitsch clothes wearin’, alternative livin’,
lazy-arse hippies like you and me.

It’s them Scomo-lovin, Bible thumpin’,
talk-back radio all over it comin’
Xenophobic fear-mongering,
Reef-mining millionaires of misery,
Versus us beatnik, poem-writin’, unionist, bludging,
Medicare lovin’, dole form lodgin’
drug legalisin’, peace pipin’
guitar strummin’, LBGT lovin’,
lazy-arse hipsters like you and me.

But eventually they’ll win
by making Earth an unlivable place
until then we’ll live in torturous, humourless,
violent times led by mindless mobs
with their shirts tucked in and shoes all shined

because…

Them Liberal-National coalition,
Right-Wing Christian superstition,
climate denialist men and women,
are gonna be the death of you and me.
Us inner-city, cheap-wine-sippin’,
bleedin’ heart, asylum giving,
kitsch clothes wearin’, alternative livin’,
lazy-arse hippies like you and me...
