77% of Australians agree with John about his actions on the Tampa

What happened to the others?

The thing is to use military force against refugees

Isn't that 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 it's reign

The Captain, before entering Australian borders

He had sent out a distress signal

Clearly air pollution was,  well it wasn't any faster coming, it was immoral

I wish that this problem were not ours

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 fucking hate myself, take Aussie 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

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 I what I don't see vibrates, my deep disgrace

You're not even from here in the first place

And those who are, you wanna further debase

Nah, 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 eyes, surprise me

Use your shriveled 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 it's gonna be, don't call me true blue

I denounce my ancestors, wounds still fester

If you say, it ain't so, I suggest you wake 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, these cunts need a shake up

Wake up, this country needs a fucking shake up

Wake up

Talk back ,squawking hacks won't relax

Until Joneses and Manican laws are all acts

77% of Aussies are racist, if you're here, I'll say it to your faces

Rich redneck pricks still hold all the aces

I'll buy you a beer with a arsenic chaser

Better off dead, is that what I've said?

Tempting to take for all the blood you've shed

No doubt you're as bad as your dads and your moms

Mainstream media making me so fucking glum

Anglo reality, intellectual cavity

Channel 9 fostering prejudiced mentality

I won't be a casualty, just mention casually

I can't stand for your 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 fucking 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 labor that made Australia plumper

Enough is enough, whities, go pack your stuff

Don't wanna live in England? That's fucking 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

It's time for you to 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
