You Can't Hide Forever Johnny Howard

A song by Peter Hicks and Geoff Francis©1998 Peter Hicks and Geoff Francis

You can't hide for ever, Johnny Howard,
You pathetic, snivelling, whimpering little coward.
You're going to live to rue the day
That you took on the MUA,
No, you can't hide for ever Johnny Howard.

Crawl back into your hole now, Peter Reith,
Go find your stone and slide back underneath,
You sent in your scabs and dogs,
You threatened every worker's job,
So crawl back into your hole now, Peter Reith.

Go back to counting beans, Peter Costello,
You sly and sneaky loathsome little fellow,
We'll soon wipe off that smirk,
From your slimy face you jerk,
So go back to counting beans, Peter Costello.

Climb back inside your box, Amanda V,
Your vampire fangs no longer frighten me,
Every time I think of you
It makes me want to retch and spew,
So climb back into your box, Amanda V.

Disappear up your own rectum, David Kemp,
You petty-minded object of contempt.
You've been waging your dirty war
Against the young, the old, the poor,
So disappear up your own rectum, David Kemp.

No, you can't hide for ever, Johnny Howard,
You pathetic, snivelling, whimpering little coward.
You're going to live to rue the day
That you took on the MUA,
And you can't hide for ever Johnny Howard.
