Lyrics
--------

Didn’t someone write a song about the ice-caps are melting
way back in 1968? Little Tony, a boy of 11
[Then] in the seminary learning you could lie
and you could still get to heaven.

So you can take your 23 thousand dollars to ride your bike
You can bet that’s something that the electorate doesn’t like
And you can cut expenditure, so long as it’s schools, health,
welfare, manufacturing and science
and spend more on spying and defence

Climate change is absolute ‘crap’
Sovereign borders, fiscal emergency
What happened to the urgency?
So here we are 12 months later and nobody cares
We’ve got our motor homes and shares

And Australia’s open for business
And no-one’s the suppository of all wisdom
And because you’re the king
You don’t give a shit about anything
Tony Abbott, you’re a sock-cutter
And you think you’re a pheasant-plucker, but you’re not
You’re a fire-trucker, you sock-cutter

Tony Abbott, you’re not my captain.
