with apologies to Billy Joel

WE DON'T HOLD THE HOSES

Menzies, Harold Holt, Tony Abbott, Andrew Bolt
Frydenberg, Littleproud, Gladys Berejiklian

================

Peter Dutton, Alan Tudge, Bronny Bishop,  just more Vanilla Fudge
Eric aid and A-betz, Keith Pitt, Beryl Gladyjiklian

================

John Howard, Angus Taylor, land rights, justice failure
Pork Barrels, safe seats and sports rorts

================

Alan Jones, Scomo, Christian Porter, progress worse than slo-mo
Greg Hunt, what a funt, let's lay out the civil torts

================

We don't hold the hoses
We just want the soundbytes
And the photo ops
No we don't find the cures
And we don't like the science
But our prayers will bind us

================

Phil Ruddock, James Ashby, One Nation, Big Daddy Barnaby,
Land deals, water deals, dodgy deals all

================

2GB, Murdoch press, Daily Mail, George Pell won't confess
Fox news, Think Tanks, Commies lining Auntie's halls,

================

Dr Carl, Norman Swann, No one listens, something's wrong
Hillsong Church,  Evangelics and little row boats

================

Malcolm Turnbull, Chinese spies, NBN, a nation cries

Kevin Andrews, Warren Truss prove to all shit truly floats

================

We don't hold the hoses
We just want the soundbytes
And the photo ops
No we don't find the cures
And we don't like the science
But our prayers will bind us

================

Christmas Island, Manus too,  kids overboard, burnt kangaroo
No climate change, arsonists, dead coral reef

================

Afghanistan, Timor Sea, ASIO, Wikileaks
Student debt, no  money left, but where's the beef?

================

Outsiders,  Bachelorette, The Far Right and Bondi Vet
Queen's Honors, travel rorts and jobs for boys

================

Sell the farm, privatize, underfund and monetize
Stack the decks, stack the boards, listen to the White Noise

================

We don't hold the hoses
We just want the soundbytes
And the photo ops
No we don't find the cures
And we don't like the science
But our prayers will bind us

================

Mal Brough, Stuart Robert, ethics down the toilet
Midnight Oil, James Reyne, Figments of Australian

================

Kirribilli revolving door, we can't take this any more
Mining towns, coal and gas, fires raging Bulli Pass

================

Creepy Priests, religious sects, say a word and you're up next
Trickle down or trickle up, politics from a broken cup

================

We don't hold the hoses
We just want the soundbytes
And the photo ops
No we don't find the cures
And we don't like the science
But our prayers will bind us

================

Twitter, Facebook, the Abyss, take a look
Millions for private schools, new recruits must know the rules

Class wars, drug wars, talking points, junkets off to strip joints
Michaelia splashes cash,  Charity's a Big Bash

================

The Hot Seat, The First Fleet, Botany Bay, Invasion Day
Foreign students, homeless vets, Ice, crack, Kathy Letts

Bettina Arndt gets a gong, what's on in Wollongong
Clive Palmer, Twisted Sister, I can't take it anymore

================

We don't hold the hoses
We just want the soundbytes
And the photo ops
No we don't find the cures
And we don't like the science
But our prayers will bind us on and on and on

================

We don't hold the hoses
We just want the soundbytes
And the photo ops
No we don't find the cures
And we don't like the science
But our prayers will bind us

================

We don't hold the hoses
We just want the soundbytes
And the photo ops
No we don't find the cures
And we don't like the science
But our prayers will bind us
