Imagine if past generations could return and see
The true state of affairs of our once lucky country
It’s odds on they would shake their head in disbelief
To see the futility of their sweat, blood and grief
We have many politicians who cannot plan beyond yesterday
Such narrow vision they need guide dogs to lead the way
Excellent in blame games and they worship political correctness too
They’re experts in doing what the rest of us were taught never to do
Foreign ownership of OZ has become very much the trend
Rich agricultural soil polluted by drills, fracking and chemical blends
We pay strangers for water which was once yours and mine
Despite frequent droughts, no major dams built in a long, long time
Minority groups are pandered and contradictions more than one
We’re told the Treasury is bare yet Canberra still finds money for fun
In regards security measures, Burkas are OK but helmets taboo.
As a reward for going to another war, the military gets a pay cut too
Where love of country and promises are no longer honoured calls
Citizenship has become just a piece of paper to hang on a wall
Our laws favour the guilty and their victims powerless to act
Spin doctors well paid by Government for distorting fact
Oh if only we could start all over again once more
Sail to Botany Bay and add new rules within our golden shore
Including that both integrity and common sense to be a must
No matter the status, deport any baxxxrd who aint worth a crust
