THE O.Z.
Verse 1:
G’day mate! Welcome to a tour of O-Z,
Taking all the sites and scenes of the red country,
Admission free unless you came here as a refugee,
In which case, make your way straight to Woomera, please,
Now let’s hit the streets; to your left is the beach,
Backpackers getting murdered since seventy-three,
And woop-dee, you’ll get to meet Beattie,
The smartest QLD since Joe Bjelkie,
Yeah; we’ve got a bunch of great men leading us on,
They’ve got the answers, their plans have never been wrong,
Took us to Iraq, and what a lark that was!
Who cares about the world, it’s just America, cous’!
I mean we toil and keep our nose to the grindstone true,
Land of the free, girt by sea, eating kangaroos,
I guess we’ve got it all, down in the big O-Z,
Now check my chorus, sing it outta, one, two, three!
Hook:
In the Oooh – Zeee,
No personality,
We break it down to let the conscious free,
In the Oooh – Zeee,
No equality,
But do wildly, in society,
Livin’ in the O-Z,
In the O-Z,
In the O-Z,
Means nothing to me…
Livin’ in the O-Z,
In the O-Z,
In the O-Z,
Means nothing to me (yeh boi)!
Verse 2:
Look at me man, culture all around,
Make a mint by ripping off another artist’s sound,
People are wishing they could get another chance right here,
Don’t worry, skin cancer will kill you this year,
There’s been tragedy, sure, Port Arthur and more,
But it helps tourism with the blood and gore,
We’re rebellious; Aussies are convict sons,
Wife beaters, sheep stealers, we’re the number one!
It’s all good unless we suffer ourselves,
Don’t worry if Rwanda is a living hell,
Do we do business with them? Do they buy and sell?
No, we won’t help ‘em till they help themselves,
Do we even need humanity at all today?
O-Z got it locked down, and what do we say?
AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE, OI OI OI,
Keep it, keep it, keep it, keep it, calling now boy!
Hook
Verse 3:
Think of all the culture that we see around,
Bogans get the suburbs hot like Brisbane-town,
Politicians be playin’ the country like scrabble,
Schapelle got locked up cos that [bitch] dabbled,
Everybody turns on channel nine news,
A collapse, so every wanker sends their crew,
What do you view? Two bevans in a mine shaft,
A week later, we search for another laugh,
O-Z supposed to be a tolerant nation;
But racists keep hating on the different faces,
Pauline was popular, but it was outrageous,
The PM picked up on how to seem courageous,
And ageist baby-boomers rule the shizz,
Let us slide towards the consumerist bizz,
The only one to make it’s a computer whiz,
So skoo this place, mate I’ll see ya later… (shzzzzzzz)
