1191

6.iv.23

the Dutton mindfuck

in favour of what we vote against

 

on the occasion of the Liberal Party of Australia deciding to oppose the constitutional recognition of first Australians and their Voice to Parliament

 

it will fail so I’m against

I’m against so it will fail

 

could have washed his hands

or said orright I suppose

 

instead we get –

 

we are in favour of what we vote against

could never have imagined

 

give me more detail – I’ll say more ‘no’

 

if only it was the people’s thing

and don’t play politics with me

 

so many decades a rug out from under

so many magical tricks

to keep the colony coming

 

whatever’s to come will be bung

let’s make sure

 

let’s do the dispossess

it’s a talent

it’s how we’ve come to own

 

bring me more detail

of what we won’t fix

 

I refuse to pay attention

you’re not listening, are you?

 

haven’t and couldn’t

wouldn’t and won’t

 

we don’t just vote against it

we don’t just wash our hands

 

whatever’s to come will be bung

I’ll make sure

 

we campaign

we encourage

say ‘no’ with us

 

it rolls off the mind

we need to divide

 

bring me more detail of how

 

it will fail so I’m against

I’m against so it will fail

 

why allow truth to be told?

don’t let the future get in the way

 

gimme me more detail – I’ll say more ‘no’

 

hello Australia

and where do you think you’re off to

you can wipe that smile away

thought you’de get away with …

 

not just a cop, a Queensland cop

 

show me what’s in your head?

 

big ideas – you’re over the limit

well over

 

let’s take a look in the heart

 

let’s see how that all works out

 

give us more detail – we’ll say more ‘no’

 

this is our superpower
