The Herd - The King Is Dead

What a lovely song to celebrate the downfall of John Howard!
:)

very clever lyrics!

We danced like new years eve
We danced from sheer relief
Everything must change

The people that you projected as
We were nothing of the sort it sold us all short
Put down the champagne
No toast to the legacy(no way)
And all the propaganda of prosperity
That`s what a machine does and they don`t need therapy
You turned us into a nation of haters
Far right appeaser
believer in whatever get you leader
Dog whistle through the speakers
see who bites it

I noticed a hell of a lot of people liked it
An ethical choice is simpler if you price it
Conquer by dividing
that`s why you admired him?
unless pushed we would never have retired him
Fuckin pirate history will damn him
once it seemed like nothing can damage him
[UNKLE HO MANDARIN - ??]
Crook, you got your arse played in Mandarin

Finally the King is Dead,
we cried off with his head
Everything must change, Everything must change
We danced like new years eve
We danced from relief
Everything must change, nothing stays the same
Nothing stays the same oh, Nothing stays the same oh

Yeah Cats I know are feeling just like the rapture
I can tell who this mood is failing to capture
It`s like somebody finally did light that match up
And burn down the parliament, learned from the argument
Can`t be non-partisan, when you`re an artist
And you put your heart in it,
and that`s not even the half of it
Like my man said, we`re talking butter and bread
Better if his words were never uttered again
Mostly vindictive, who could have predicted
Just a few tax breaks to keep us all addicted
The dickhead dictator leader imitator
Made me feel immature when I said I hate ya
Did you read the paper the day after and hear the laughter?
I`ll read it to you, it starts with M McKew and ends with you
No broader view from the people on your ship that you used to call crew
Huh! That`s typical, now I guess it`s difficult
For the type of person who only thinks of individual
No residual, you`ll see our resilience
Take your bat and ball and head for the pavilion

Finally the King is Dead,
we cried off with his head
Everything must change, Everything must change
We danced like new years eve
We danced from relief
Everything must change, nothing stays the same
Nothing stays the same oh, Nothing stays the same oh

We danced like new years eve
We danced from sheer relief
Everything must change

Just promise me this,
no rose petal glasses,
quickly confine him to part of the past

Just promise me this,
no rose petal glasses,
quickly confine him to part of the past

Finally the King is Dead,
we cried off with his head
Everything must change, Everything must change
We danced like new years eve
We danced from relief
Everything must change, nothing stays the same

Finally the King is Dead,
we cried off with his head
Everything must change, Everything must change
We danced like new years eve
We danced from relief
Everything must change, nothing stays the same
Nothing stays the same oh, Nothing stays the same oh

The words "right wing" and "Labour" don't go together in the same sentence, it's any oxymoron kinda like "educated Liberal".

Given that Labour traditionally represses the high end of town and supports the blue collar class and workers I'd be most interested to know how 'they' took over every single media station in Australia (notice the capital A for when spelling this fine countries name), last I looked Newscorp and Fairfax; two hard pro Liberal Corps own most news outlets in this nation.

Bro not everyone was in WWI and WWII

[MrViperineTuba]

@HUkram1025 Um yeah obviously, hence the title, World War 1 & World War 2, lol

[HUkram1025]

has australia been in any wars

[mord3030]

Yeah, the King is dead, he's been replaced with a Wench.

Listen to you guys, "Left" and "Right" wing. You're voting for two wings of the same bird. It's time to change the bird.

[speakerboy777]

@bingi151 it is "when spelling"

[speakerboy777]

go on the liberals, supporting the already well off? sounds like making a country unfair, and isnt democracy all about halting repression in any form?

[gimp1983]

@IceBlood888 The only reason Obama might get voted out is because GWB fucked things up so bad they couldn't be fixed in 4 years.

[IceBlood888]

When Obama gets booted out of office during the next presidential elections, I will be blaring this :P

[thectexperience]

wow what a conservative forum. looks like you all flocked over after hearing the track on nova. go listen to 77% and find out what The Herd are really about

[thectexperience]

nice one HilltopHoodsXD, you're proof that the Hoods are idiotic bogans whose every rhyme is a meaningless simile.

the Libs and the Labs are two sides of the same coin. they don't give a fuck about you, they just wanna climb the ladder by sucking up to anyone with more money and more power than them ...then they sing about anzac day and pointless battes against Turks nearly 100 years ago!!
