Australia’s National Anthem October 2004

Australians all let us rejoice,

For we have tasted greed;

Our interest rates mean more to us,

Than mere humanity;

Our land abounds with credit cards

And John Howard took us there;

Don’t stop to count as your debts mount,

Advance Australia fair!

Don’t stop to count as your debts mount,

“Advance Australia fair!”

While refugees from terror sail’d,

To trace wide oceans o’er,

To Iraq with Little John we went,

To start a bloody war.

The sick, the old have all been sold,

Our children’s future care;

They’re all worth nowt, so rise and shout,

Advance Australia fair!

They’re all worth nowt, so rise and shout,

“Advance Australia fair!”

~~~

God grant me the senility to forget the people

I never liked anyway,

The good fortune to run into the ones I do,

And the eyesight to tell the difference
