Aussie freedoms

“Land of the Free (Ain’t Free No More)”

Cash in hand, that was the rule,

Now they’re scan-n-tracking every move I make,

Digital chains, mate, make no mistake.

They jabbed our arms, said “Do it for the team,”

Sold our rights for a corporate dream,

Now I’m standin’ here, can’t help but frown,

Feels like the whole damn country’s gettin’ shut down.

Oi! This ain’t the land I knew before,

Freedom’s knockin’ on a locked front door,

We’re workin’ hard while they take more —

Land of the free, ain’t free no more!

Oi! They’re sellin’ out the southern shore,

Cashless chains, can’t pay no store,

The people shout, but they just ignore —

Land of the free, ain’t free no more!

Old mates sleepin’ in the street tonight,

While the new ones move in overnight,

Politicians pat themselves on the back,

Sayin’ “It’s progress” while the Aussies crack.

Albo’s smilin’ on the TV set,

Talks real big but he’s deep in debt,

Says it’s fair, but it ain’t fair play,

Real Aussies pay while the suits get paid

They told us, “Trust the plan, just roll your sleeve!”

Now we’re losin’ more than we believe!

Digital ID, got us numbered like sheep,

Mate, when do we wake up from this sleep?

No cash, no say, no privacy,

No home for the bloke next door, you see,

Just rules and screens and fake applause,

While we’re chained up by their laws!

But there’s a voice still loud and clear,

Speakin’ truth the people hear,

Pauline’s standin’, fightin’ strong,

For the Aussie battlers all along.

One Nation’s flyin’ red and white,

Sayin’ “Stand up, mate, take back your right!”

For the workers, farmers, the fair dinkum crew —

She’s fightin’ for me and she’s fightin’ for you!
