letra de the ballad of section 44 - sammy j
’twas a chilly night in canberra
there was mist upon the lake
the pollies all were sitting
when the house began to shake
they looked up at a figure
banging hard upon their door –
“get in line,” said section 44
well, senator scott ludlam was the first to fall that night
he quivered like a coward, and he didn’t try to fight
threw his arms up in surrender, then he lay down on the floor
“how pathetic,” said section 44
next in line was xenophon and canavan and nash
they grabbed their birth certificates and tried to make a dash
but they tripped on malcolm roberts from one nation at the door
“more like two nations,” said section 44
section 44
one tiny little law
written by our founders
who were mostly born abroad
to help us stand upright
to make our nation white
yeah, they laid it like a landmine
’til it blew up in the night
then it set its sights on barnaby, in tamworth born and bred
body like a bull, and a tomato for a head
but he was secretly a kiwi
so it held him in its claw
“don’t dream it’s over,” said section 44
but malcolm made it angry when he tried to force its hand
“the high court shall so hold,” he said – but didn’t understand
that only fools predict
what the section has in store
it answers to itself
and itself is
section 44
one tiny little law
written by our founders
a century before
to keep us self-contained, they patiently explained
“h-ll, it might destroy our parliament,” they said
“but it’ll keep us entertained.”
as others fell, like lambie, parry, skye kakoschke-moore
“did you renounce?” the section cried, but none of them were sure
they offered their careers up, but the section wanted more
“pay me back your salaries”, it said
but they bolted out the door
then bill shorten looked the monster right between the eyes
he said, my blood is pure, and my party never lies!
then david feeney and four others dropped their passports on the floor
“these documents smell foreign…”
whispered section 44
who’s it coming for?
the final legal hurdle that our leaders can’t ignore
they tell us to behave
that we shouldn’t break the law
then they whimper like a baby
when they’re face-to-face
with section 44!
