Advanced Australia Fair
December 7th 2006 06:18
I've run out of good Punk songs to talk about for now, so I'll give you the lyrics to a song that needs no satirising, for it does so to itself.
Australians all let us rejoice
For we are young and free
Well, no, thanks to the baby boom, Australia's population is ageing.
We've golden soil and wealth for toil,
Our home is girt by sea:
Australia's soil is, for the most part, barren, also, who uses the word girt.
policeman: "come out - we have you girt"
Our land abounds in nature's gifts
Of beauty rich and rare,
Pfft, we don't seem very grateful for these gifts, and have cut down or destroyed most everything that Mother Nature gave us
In history's page let every stage
Advance Australia fair,
In joyful strains then let us sing
Advance Australia fair.
When I was young I assume there was some awesome fair somewhere in Australia, alas
Beneath our radiant Southern Cross,
We'll toil with hearts and hands,
To make this Commonwealth of ours
Renowned of all the lands,
Everyone knows who we are - Crocadile Dundee saw to it that Australia will always be renowned, although maybe not for the right reasons
For those who've come across the seas
We've boundless plains to share,
You sarcastic bastard, we lock up anyone who comes to our country
With courage let us all combine
To advance Australia fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia fair.
Sorry, we can't combine anymore, we get fined or jailed for forming any kind of union.
Can anyone think of a more appropriate anthem? or, if you like the one we have currently, then by all means lend your support to that and let us know.
