The Herd - 77%
so i’m left sitting here, staring into a beer
shaking my head at the same ol’ 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 ozzie 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 none’ll see my race - my deep disgrace
you not even from here in the first place!
and those that are you wanna further debase
nup - no more - never again whether by fist or pen
i will defend - cos i’m at a loose end
the shattered remnants of ozzie 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 it’s gonna be don’t ever call me true blue
i denounce my ancestors, wounds still fester
if you say it aint so i suggest ya 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
nation of immigrants - height of hypocrisy
talkback? squawking hacks - won’t relax
until jonesey, zemanek & 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
so i’ll buy ya a beer - with an arsenic chaser
better off dead? is that what i said?
tempting to take for all the blood you’ve shed
no doubt your as bad as your dad’s & your mum’s
that’s why mainsteam media makes me so fuckin glum
anglo reality - intellectual cavities
channel 9 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 youse 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
well i’ve yelled my lungs out but to no avail
that you’re a stranger yourself now that’s the sting in the tail
captain cook was the very first queue jumper
and it was immigrant labour that made australia plumper
enough is enough - whiteys pack your stuff
don’t wanna live in england? - well that’s fuckin tough
I’m sick and tried of this redneck wonderland
most of you stay silent and I can’t understand
I just can’t understand
time for you to wake up
XENOPHOBIA IS STILL A HUGE, LIFE RUINING PROBLEM IN AUSTRALIA.
STILL.
It makes me sick.
