Analysis of V FOR DEFEAT
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.
By the people, for the people,
Through the people's what we need,
But Albanese wanted less for us
He wanted our hearts to bleed:
Bleed for better, fairer times
Before Albanese took to power,
Back when people still had dreams
Before Labor made it all turn sour.
They always favoured minority rule
Power to the people, isn't their thing,
They wanted a form of black apartheid
That would have had a fatal sting.
Equality's not for Albanese
He wanted black power to rule,
But on referendum day we were smart
And not, as he hoped, bloody fools.
Government should be for all
Not just for three-point four percent,
But with politicians so corrupt
Our tax dollars were poorly spent.
The Voice spelt only defeat
For almost all Australians,
But we showed Albanese the truth:
Democracy is yet undone!
THE END
