Casey Bennetto - The Arse End Of The Earth lyrics

Gareth Evans: Another morning in the PMC We've got the latest on the CAD It's only four percent of GDP But it's causing little tremors at the NAB You want your funding for the AME We'll have to sneak it past the ERC And the PMO observers of the GNE are nervous It's another day of service in the ALP. Paul Keating: My land is burning with bureaucracy To scared to contemplate its worth Inert and dreaming of democracy Too struck by sun to get things done At the arse end of the earth. Evans: Another morning in the monarchy We've got the model from the RAC About as minimal as it can be But you might have blown your chances for an OBE They're gonna try and pull the train off track They're lining up to fly the Union Jack And the tyranny of distance and the path of least resistance And you gave the Queen a**istance when you goosed her back. Keating: We have one golden opportunity To see our brand new flag unfurled To rise with shining eyes in unity It's hard to stand with heads in sand At the arse end of the world Keating and Evans: We can move this world We can chance this place Shifting inch by inch At a glacial pace Take it step by step Build it brick by brick Important innovations And delicate equations I'm running out of patience, can we make this quick? Quick, quick, quick, quick, quick! Evans: Another morning in the ACT Remind Australia that we're young and free But every channel seems to disagree With the possible exception of the ABC We're getting hammered by the tabloid press We must be pissing Rupert off, I guess 'Cos they're calling us elitist and the polling is defeatist And we hope that every street is watching SBS! Band: Oh yes! Oh yes! Keating: We hear the siren song of destiny A call to rapturous rebirth We dare to recognise our history The future's bright for black and white At the arse end of the earth What better place to make your base than the arse end of the earth?
