DON’T FEEL SORRY
FOR ME!
I was reciting a bit of poetry
from under the shade of a tree,
When a woman asked me name,
then said she felt sorry for me.
It seems to me she had the
bull by the horns instead of by the tail,
And I can’t be held to blame
if her hearing’s beginning to fail.
Ah shit, I think I’ve offended
her, now that will never do,
The Great Australian Freedom
has got me in the pooh!
I only told them whinging
migrants to stop crying on my sleeve,
That if they weren’t happy
here, they’ve got the right to `bloody` leave.
I said we were a Christian
country and English was our tongue,
We have been this way for two
hundred years when all is said and done.
Christianity was the
principles this country was founded on; we give a fair go,
We don’t want them to change
our culture or tell us how to run our show.
Persecuted in their own
country they come here then whinge because they’re free?
At least I got some one
thinking; I’ll mark that up as one to me,
For someone to take the time
out and consider giving me a serve,
I reckon I must be on a winner;
because I must have touched a nerve.
I know my words don’t please
everyone but I’ve never really tried,
And some of my views in this
verse will put me well off-side.
But don’t feel sorry for me,
just look at the world in which we live,
And just look at Australia
it might need all the sympathy you have to give.
For years we’ve welcomed
migrants because that’s the Australian way,
But we don’t wanna hear them
whinging if they wanna stay.
Perhaps it’s the whinging migrants,
who are more deserving of your pity,
The ones who form their little
enclaves in our capitol cities.
So don’t feel sorry for me,
cos I couldn’t give a stuff;
And if you don’t like my
words; well, that’s bloody fair enough;
It’s obvious my sentiments
about this country you don’t share,
Unlike me about Australia ;
I don’t think you flaming care!
