Welcome To The School of Law - UQ Law Revue 2007

The opening number to the 2007 University of Queensland Law Revue - a reworded parody of My Chemical Romance's "Welcome To The Black Parade".

I didn't write this - I just filmed it.

When I was in high school
My father took me into St Lucia
To see the open day

He said, "Son, when you grow up
Would you be the guardian of justice
And make wrongdoers pay?"

He said "Will you be like them
The judges and all the senior counsel
The best you ever saw?"

"Because one day you'll come here
A student, a first-year in the summer
To join the School of Law."

I wanted lots of money
I got a good OP
At first I thought I had nowhere to turn

I tried out Griffith, QUT
I even went to TAFE
They can't compare to good old TC Beirne

We'll practice law, we'll practice law
And though you're ethical believe me
You really want to practice law
We'll practice law
And we'll defend the constitution
And get some restitution

In no time we were learning
To think like Thomas Hobbes
Cause life is nasty, brutish and too short

So please obey the CLA
Read Perre v Apand
And when you're done I'm taking you to court

To practice law, we'll practice law
And Denny Crane is just on TV
But you can be like Alan Shore
And practice law
We'll work endless billable hours
Our work-life balance flounders

On and on we'll make it through five years, ooooh
Watch out, your assignment deadline nears, ooooh
Have some more caffeine
Cause a 4 won't do at ...

Do or die, I'll get my degree
I'm positive, just like H.L.A Hart
Gotta try pay off my HECS fees
I want it all, I want a big head start
Soon my name will shine in glory
I'm aiming high, I'm going to the bar
I'm the chair for this tribunal
Listen here, because I'm talking
I'll claim my land like Eddie Mabo
Take the stand, the lower court was wrong
Not afraid, because I have no
Duty of care

We'll practice law, we'll practice law
And though you disagree with Kirby
McHugh will bring you back for more
We'll practice law
And though you're doing an Arts degree
You don't want to spend your life poor

Do or die, I'll get my degree
Won't have to work at Macca's or K-Mart
Say goodbye to Logan City
I want it all, I want a big head start (we'll practice LAW!)

Do or die, I'll get my degree
And all my friends will think I'm really smart
My stocks are high with an LLB
As long as I avoid falling apart

We'll practice LAW!
