Lyrics
He brought in a lump of coal
To Parliament
Held up that dirty rock
Like a diamond
Told people don't be scared
Of the climate
Politicians are for sale
Is what he meant
Australia went up in flames
He went on holidays
Hiding in Hawaii
To dodge the media gaze
As Sydney disappeared
Beneath the smoke haze
And firefighters died
Trying to fight the blaze
Hey Hey Ho Ho ScoMo's Got To Go
He came back and apologised
Tried to shake hands
But couldn't find a hand to shake
right across the land
Everywhere that Scotty went
He found himself banned
no one likes an arsonist
In a burnt land
The world moved on from coal
He started pushing gas
Claiming it's a clean fuel
Cos they'd donated cash
Wrecking all the farmland
Despite the backlash
Destroying the country
From reef to outback
Hey Hey Ho Ho ScoMo's Got To Go
He told us he'd stop the boats
From getting here
Told MPs he'd get the votes
By tapping fear
Didn't care if people fleeing
Were refugees
Claimed he wasn't racist
By cooking curry
Opposed same-sex marriage
Citing God's will
Despite most voters
Backing the bill
Said he didn't want his daughters
Being bedevilled
Despite it being legal
He's trying to crush it still
Hey Hey Ho Ho ScoMo's Got To Go
Confronted by a rape claim
In his cabinet
He tried to shut the case down
Wasn't having it
When thousands of women marched
He refused to meet
Said that they could all be shot
For protesting shit
Refused to condemn Trump
For the riot
Cos Trump let him to do things
On the quiet
Like pushing coal to a world
that doesn't buy it
Cos Trump made him look sane
In the light of it
