77%

77 percent of Australians
Um, agree with John Howard's actions on the Tampa
What happened to the others?
The thing is to use military force, er, against, er, refugees
Isn't that, er, a little overkill?
A spokesman for the line that owns the ship says Australian SAS troops
Are in danger of breaking the laws of piracy
Undoubtedly this is the most popular decision

As far as the Australian public are concerned
The government's made during its reign
The captain's been pulling our strings in Australian waters
He had sent out a distress signal
Clearly, our solution was, um, well, it wasn't only farcical
It was, um, it was immoral
I wish that this problem were not ours

We all didn't made
(Cheers)

Well I'm left sitting here staring into a beer
Shaking my head at the same old loathing and fear
Stranger in my own land, can't understand
How the very word Australian has just been damned

I fuckin' hate myself, take 'Ozi' from my name
Erase this endless shame, forever casting blame
If you don't act the same will I destroy you?
Everyone looks the same beaten, black and blue (uh)
So I've had enough of these redneck pricks
When fact is the only real shit that sticks

Watch as I tear the very skin from my face
So none'll see my race, my deep disgrace
You're not even from here in the first place
And those that are you wanna further debate
Nup, no more, never again whether by fist or pen
I will defend, 'cause I'm at a loose end

The shattered remnants of Aussie dignity
I'm a skip, whitey, round-eye surprise me
By using your shrivelled brain to please explain
How the clever country just went down the drain
We rode the sheep's back now the sheep ride you
If this is how its gonna be don't call me "true blue"
I denounce my ancestors, wounds still fester
If you say 'it ain't so' I suggest ya wake up

Wake up, this country needs a fucking shake-up
Wake up, these cunts need a shake-up, oh
Wake up, this country needs a fucking shake-up
Wake up, these cunts need a shake-up
Wake up, this country needs a fucking shake-up
Wake up, these cunts need a shake-up
Wake up, this country needs a fucking shake-up
Wake up

Talkback squawking hacks won't relax
Until Jonesy, Zemanek and Laws are all axed
77 percent of Aussies are racist
And if you're here, I'll say it your faces
Rich redneck pricks still hold all the aces

I'll buy ya a beer, with an arsenic chaser
"Better off dead?" Is that what I've said?
Tempting to take for all the blood you've shed
No doubt your as bad as your dads and your mums

Mainsteam media making me so fucking glum
Just anglo reality, intellectual cavities
Channel nine fostering prejudiced mentalities
I won't be a casualty, just mention casually
That I can't stand for you shit-eating bullies
Preying on peeps without a mainstream voice
Most of you stay silent but I've got no choice

Wake up, this country needs a fucking shake-up
Wake up, these cunts need a shake-up
Wake up, this country needs a fucking shake-up
Wake up, these cunts need a shake-up
Wake up, this country needs a fucking shake-up
Wake up, these cunts need a shake-up
Wake up, this country needs a fucking shake-up
Wake up

Well I've yelled my lungs out but to no avail
Well I've yelled my lungs out but to no avail
Well I've yelled my lungs out but to no fukin' avail
That you're a stranger yourself, now that's the sting in the tail

Captain Cook was the very first queue jumper
It was immigrant labour that made Australia plumper
Enough is enough, whiteys, go pack your stuff
Don't wanna live in England? That's fuckin' tough
I'm sick and tired of this redneck wonderland
Most've you stay silent and I can't understand
I just can't understand (understand)

It time for you to wake up, this country needs a fucking shake-up
Wake up, these cunts need a shake-up, oh
Wake up, this country needs a fucking shake-up
Wake up, these cunts need a shake-up
Wake up, this country needs a fucking shake-up
Wake up, these cunts need a shake-up
Wake up, this country needs a fucking shake-up
Wake up
