I smell a rat

Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)



I am waiting for the hit.
I can see through all their shit.

Wasn't that long ago
Gas was all the go.

Solars on its way,
Or so they say.

The push over here is on,
All electric!
That's their song.

Rebates to change from gas,
Smart meters will supply the cash...

Cash can't be used,
Consolidation brings abuse.

So let's wait and see,
How they shaft us
With electricity.
