It has a fascist ring about it
Public interest not of concern
A military solution
To a human problem
That sounds like an intervention
And once it's military
We, the public, are on a need to know basis
And, frankly, we don't need to know
Except that this is Australia 2014
Not South Africa 1974
(comparisons have been made)

So human rights go out the window
Like keeping children in prison
Torturing and detaining ligitimate
Asylum seekers in offshore prisons
You out there voted for these cretins
Like keeping children in prison
Torturing and detaining ligitimate
Asylum seekers in offshore prisons
You out there voted for these cretins
Heeding their call to arms
"Australia is being invaded!"
It has been for forty thousand years
And the locals have learned to accept
Waves of invaders as traders
But not this lot because the immenent threat
Is the most visible
Make it invisible and it goes away
Yet the stigma stays
The stain upon our national character
That we don't treat these people
Like the human beings they are
We are too busy
Is the most visible
Make it invisible and it goes away
Yet the stigma stays
The stain upon our national character
That we don't treat these people
Like the human beings they are
We are too busy
Digging into the guts of this terra nullius
Scraping out whatever we can find
Wealth beyond imagining
Tie that into terrorism
And anything becomes illegal
Even broadening your mind
