Empty promises mean nothing to a live export

They came in with their trumpets sounding
the Labour mob arrived
Abbot and his merry flock
his species have survived
the rigours of the fighting class
who talk but dont say much
who think they have the answers
but are clearly out of touch

reality for them is money
dollars in the bank
animals those 4 legged creeps
their expression are always blank
they are, if they look at you mate
but when they look at those
who have compassion in their hearts
then love within them grows

live exports what a hellish trade
to the Middle East how can
anybody with any soul
not demand a ban
the dollar amassing farmers
and exporters well they
couldn’t care a joeys arse
what happens any way

as long as the herd is on the ship
and the money’s in the bank
the torturing can get underway
the voyage of course its rank
no bloody food or water
and shoved about like shite
loaded and unloaded
and kept out of the light

and at the destination
dragged away and killed
legs tied up eyes poked out
yes their blood is spilled
but this lot do not care one cent
they apologize and they say
sorry Indonesia we shouldn’t have made you pay

for torturing our animals!
thats our job and we
know they can be a nuisance
and what we do not see
we do not really care about
lets get the shipments started
exporters will raise their game
and leave us all down hearted

from heartless individuals
whose compassion isn’t seen
so many corporate wallers
more like the machine
less and less like humans
control our every way
and a lack of soulful females
to brighten up each day

Live exports are a sinful trade
and laws to stop dissent
are frighteningly obvious
and really are not mean’t
to be brought in and tested
on the spirit of the free
which Australians in reality are so proud
to be
