Good 'n Proper

GOOD ‘OL JOHHNY!
he's a real bonza bloke,
top notch, number one.

Just face it John
you’ve fucked ‘em 
   good ‘n proper

The recommendations of the scribes
who you feed like docile pigeons,
fall on the deaf ears of the poor,
who you’ve fucked 
   good ‘n proper.

Oh, your the bastion of morality, 
Johnny, the hero of Middle Australia
smiling and joking,  while 
taking, breaking, tearing the social fabric

he is such a brave man, and he suffers no fools,
he plays by the rules, and says what he thinks:

"Let their teeth rot!"
"Bloody Abos deserve a cut"
"We need fiscal responsibility"

Oh, how you care, John
A heart so large!
Here I am John, one of your Battlers
and I'm here to tell you
You’re full of shit mate!

I wish you’d go jump
to your own music,
a military march of smug
financial security

why don't you get off your arse
and do an honest days work, 
Honest John?
