AND THE ANGELS CRIED

Albanese tried to end democracy
He cheated, he defamed, he lied,
And way up there in Heaven
John Curtin most certainly cried.

Ben Chifley was teary-eyed as well

Albo tried to defeat democracy
With the evil, racist voice,
He lied, cheated, defamed us,
Cried when we made our choice:

Because we chose democracy
And rejected V for defeat,
In his black apartheid reign
He wanted a black elite.

ALBANESE'S BLACK APARTHEID

Only three-point four percent
Yet Albo says they have to reign,
The Voice was only for the few
And would wash democracy away.

They have five percent of pollies

The truth came out despite him
We all saw...

Because we all dared to vote,
Not for Albanese's...

Terrified to try to fly.

BLOOD BAYOU

Blood Bayou is calling you
Enticing you from your home,

Sticking to the mud-slick bank.
