lyrics

PART II

Took their chances and placed their bets
Left the places where nothing was left

Came by boat, not much choice
Your scapegoats, worth some votes
You want three more years

Lost at sea in my head
International dread

Lost at sea, held on land
Would you lend a hand?
Not a chance
Keep them on their knees

Cast aside for your pride
They're denied the simplest rights
They need to be freed
... just like me

Lost at sea in my head
International dread

Rule without a chart
Disconnected heart

PART III

Here is a moral for Abetz
A lesson you ought to regret
When what is flowing through your veins
Reads like what's on the page

Your uncle had the run of Paris
But this sits rather uncomfortably
Yet you joined the right of the Libs
So you fly a similar jib

And it seems fair to think
Blood is what you use for ink

Now the truth is revealed of the camps
That were claimed as a helping hand
With innocents under remand
You think that we don't understand

With ScoMo, then Dutton in charge
Reports are presented as farce
But a tragedy was largely writ
Upon an invisible manuscript

It seems fair to think
Blood is what you use for ink

How can we take you seriously
This ain't no level playing field
It seems more than a little naïve
Your conscience will offer reprieve

So it seems fair to think
Blood is what you use for ink
