Union Songs

The ten point scam

A song by John Tomlinson and Peter Hancock©1998

Working folk are on their arse
after all they're second class
they've got no guarantee of certainty.
The racist scum are on the bum
they need our help again
to protect the interests of our richest men.

It's not the Salvo's nor the Quakers
It's the movers and the shakers
Who've got a guarantee of certainty,
who would steal our common wealth
with their lawyers and their stealth.
It worked before they'll try it on again.

As Minister for State,
spreading lies and fear and hate,
Minchin slams the station gate -
for certainty.
Though he'll look you in the eye
He's got bigger fish to fry.
He's looking after rich and famous men.

The racist scum are on the bum
they need our help again
to protect the interests of our richest men.

It's the Sultans of Brunei
not the like of you and I
whose title needs a solid guarantee:
they'll want a subsidy
from the likes of you and me
just to give them all a bit more certainty.

The racist scum are on the bum
they have a ten point scam.
John Howard claims this is a moral plan,

Working folk are on their arse
after all they're second class
they've got no guarantee of certainty.
The racist scum are on the bum
they need our help again
to protect the interests of our richest men.
