You danced with joy and you patted backs
When you tore up what you told us was a Carbon Tax
And you looked like drunken jocks about to trash the joint
You got your way, yeah you scored your points
But don’t do that shit in front of my daughter
Don’t do that shit in front of my son
She’s gonna need everything that we taught her
To undo everything that you’ve done
They watched you wave that lump of coal in Parliament House
You laughed it up with Barnaby, Yeah you guys are so fucken grouse
You said “don’t be afraid, our mates have got it all worked out,
There’s money to be made, and those eggheads don’t know what they’re talking about”
But don’t do that shit in front of my son,
Don’t say that shit in front of my daughter,
They’re gonna need energy from the sun
They’re gonna need a clean source of water
And you know just what to do,
You know that God’s got your back,
This world was made just for you,
And the science is ‘complete crap’.
And I wonder how much my kids will remember
About how you kicked those goals
Cos soon it’s gonna hit,
We’re gonna choke on your lump of coal.
And I try to be a good provider,
I try to give them what they need everyday,
But the best thing that we can give to our kids is
Action on Climate Change.
