rivermouth - propaganda lyrics

[intro: campbell newman & jonathan sri]
do not doubt the government’s resolve
do not doubt that we are going to see this thing through
“if you’ve done nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear
if you’ve done nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear
if you’ve done nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear
we are the government
we decide what’s best for you”

[verse 1: jonathan sri]
dear queensland, your sat+nav’s out of date
you’ve followed the wrong road and now we’re turnin’ into a police state
legislatin’ democratic disruption
two+party system, double the corruption
privatisin’ while facilitatin’ corporate greed
funding cuts for any ngo that disagreed
out with the old and in with your friends is fine
“i’ll hire your son and you hire mine”
this is queensland, where no man is carried
we like our blacks in jail and our g+ys unmarried
if you protest, we’ll lock you away
you have the freedom to do what we say

[chorus: jonathan sri]
but you can’t trust the lnp, mate
you don’t trust the lnp
[interlude: campbell newman]
how democracy’s come to this, where people think that they can say and do anything to try and win an election

[verse 2: jonathan sri]
everyone’s gettin’ needier, greedier
we are trashing the environment but the mainstream media’s like
“no worries mate, it’s good for the economy”
the courier+mail ain’t the paper that it used to be
when rich white men get to set the agenda
free speech don’t mean much for the rest of us
i know you’re not evil, you think you’re doin’ the right thing
but it’s frightenin’, disheartenin’, how you sh+t you are at listenin’
this is queensland, we don’t allow b+tchin’
we like our kids christian and our women in kitchens
immigrants on welfare are lazy slobs
but if they find employment, well, they took our jobs
leaders of queensland, you give the homeless grief
and you’re dumpin’ half a mountain on the barrier reef
you close hospitals and open casinos
that’s where the green goes, i always knew you were trouble
and now the pot’s overflowin’
are you power+hungry or just plain stupid?
either way, we won’t water the weeds you’re sowin’

[chorus: jonathan sri]
’cause you can’t trust the lnp, mate
you don’t trust the lnp
[verse 3: jonathan sri]
i am not an extremist
i’m just an average guy
but when the lib schemers hear this
they’ll swat me like a fly
if i don’t comply, send the cops in to tase me
question the system, they’ll label you crazy
if you don’t believe this is history repeatin’, then
google corruption and joh bjelke+petersen
they changed campaign finance rules
to make it harder for the minor parties runnin’
while warehousin’ criminals
like tools in bunnings
locking kids up, pop that bubble
locking kids up, while legal aid is underfunded
locking kids up, even though it causes more trouble
it’s all part of the incarceration business model
“done nothing wrong, nothing to fear”
that’s what the n+z+s told the jews
and yeah, i know campbell newman’s nothin’ like hitler
but his propaganda sounds eerily familiar
this is queensland, you better dress formal
for we’ll strip+search anyone who doesn’t look normal
the poor get poorer while we’re winin’ and dinin’
linin’ pockets with profits from unsustainable minin’
short+sighted
and now the pot is overflowin’
are you power+hungry or just plain stupid?
either way, we won’t water the weeds you’re sowin’
[chorus: jonathan sri]
’cause you can’t trust the lnp, mate
you don’t trust the lnp
you can’t trust the lnp, mate
you don’t trust the lnp

[outro: jonathan sri]
wake up queensland, smell the cat sh+t in your cereal
this disease stinks like it’s venereal
no one thinks for themselves, there’s no critical enquiry
distracted by the bright lights at riverfire, we
swallow propaganda and say thanks for the medicine
swallow propaganda and don’t ask questions
we swallow propaganda
and we will get what we deserve
