With deepest apologies to the shade of Leonard Cohen.
I think you will know the melody.
Now, I’ve heard there was a secret prayer
That Scotty prayed, and it pleased his Lord
But you don’t really care for praying, do you?
It goes like this, the crime, the fraud
The minor rort, the major grift
The part-time PM destroying Federation
Federation
Federation
Federation
Federa-a-tion
Your votes were weak but you acted strong
You claimed the win and gloated big
Forgot all the traps you set knowing you’d lose
They tied you to the Country Crowd
They broke your trust, and stole it all
And from your words they killed the Federation
Federation
Federation
Federation
Federa-a-tion
Dutton then took all the power
And Angus took all the water
Barnaby took the office girl and you smiled
There’s no blaze of light on all the crimes
Rupert decides just what you hear
The stolen and the broken Federation…
Federation
Federation
Federation
Federa-a-tion
