Here are the words to the hit new single ‘Oh Albo, you lied to us’ by Uncle Ned and The Bushrangers. Crank up the volume and sing along.
[Verse 1]
Albo, you promised us a brighter day,
Said you'd bring that electricity down our way,
Two seventy-five cheaper, that was the line,
But our bills keep climbing, it's a bitter sign.
You spoke of living costs being less,
Now inflation's soaring, it's such a mess,
You said our mortgages would ease the load,
But here we are, on that expensive road
[Chorus]
Oh Albo, you lied to us,
Can’t trust a word, it’s a bitter fuss,
We bought your words, but they turned to dust,
Oh Albo, you lied, we’ve lost our trust.
[Verse 2]
The capital gains tax, promised to stay,
But now it’s shifting, you’ve led us astray,
Negative gearing was safe, or so you said,
But now we’re all lost in the warnings you read.
Your budget’s a nightmare, a complete disaster,
The economy’s tumbling, moving faster and faster,
Unemployment rising, real wages decline,
Albo, your leadership's a fragile line.
[Chorus]
Oh Albo, you lied to us,
Can’t trust a word, it’s a bitter fuss,
We bought your words, but they turned to dust,
Oh Albo, you lied, we’ve lost our trust.
[Bridge]
Divided the nation with a failed call,
Your mass migration’s forcing rents to fall,
Crime in Melbourne’s running wild in the night,
Home invasion worries, it’s a scary sight.
You brought in the violence, it’s all in your wake,
Australia was safe, now it’s all at stake,
Your reckless spending’s pushing debt up high,
A trillion-dollar mark, we just wonder why.
[Verse 3]
Your policies are deadly, can't you see the pain?
Hardship and suffering, in your campaign,
You’ve betrayed the youth, while the rich get rich,
Selling out to China, we’re feeling the hitch.
No doubt the global warming’s a scam they say,
Yet you keep selling out, paving the way,
They laugh and call you names, like “handsome boy,”
But trust is broken, can’t find the joy.
[Chorus]
Oh Albo, you lied to us,
Can’t trust a word, it’s a bitter fuss,
We bought your words, but they turned to dust,
Oh Albo, you lied, we’ve lost our trust.
[Closing]
Every word you speak is just another spin,
Your Pinocchio nose keeps growing again
Taxes keep rising as our lives break down,
The public's had enough of you wearing that crown.
Oh Albo, you lied, it's plain to see,
This government now has no credibility.
I hope you enjoyed the song!
“A day without laughter is a day wasted.”
