OUR BUTCHERED LYRICS:
That's great, it starts with a bushfire
Water bombs on aeroplanes and Morrison’s on holidays
He’s coercing, forcing handshakes
PM serves his own needs, he took a hit for these deeds
Now is not the time to talk climate change
The Aussies are real bitter with fear of burning everything
Volunteers are volunteers they don’t need stinking money
And the government responds sending ADF in strong

Rain came pouring down after months and months of none
Then a sports rorts rort
The PM’s team, reporters baffled, emails, spreadsheets, emails
Look at Ministerial Standards. Fine. Then.
Uh oh, McKenzie goes, Barnaby fractures Nats
McCormack’ll do. Barnaby, get behind
He always serves his own needs, he doesn’t earn enough money
Economy’s not great but we’re going be in black
Angus Taylor, Clover Moore, Close the Gap, short sight
Canberra bubble’s pretty psyched

It's the end of the year as we know it (bushfires are spewing smoke)
It's the end of the year as we know it (I can’t see through all this smoke)
It's the end of the year as we know it (when I breathe I start to choke)
And I feel fine! (cough)

Early morning TV news, Wuhan, China a new virus
Get back home real quick border’s gonna shut down
Lock it all down cases rising
work n’ school remotely
Gotta save economy gotta pause economy
Job Keeper, Job Seeker, Job Maker, Job Creeper
Get the website, Stuart Robert… Uh oh!
Cases rise, cases fall, toilet paper’s flying off the wall
Cases falling, we’re clear, they’re clear,
Oh… Victoria! Lock it down…

It's the end of the year as we know it (better exercise from home)
It's the end of the year as we know it (make a zoom call on your phone)
It's the end of the year as we know it and I feel fine (I’ve had too much time alone)
And I feel fine! (ironic coughing)

It's the end of the year as we know it (better exercise from home)
It's the end of the year as we know it (make a zoom call on your phone)
It's the end of the year as we know it (order groceries from home)
And I feel fine! (but I really miss everybody)

The origins of COVID drive a continental drift divide
Backbenchers all sit in line, finger pointing China
China hates it, China hates us, retribution starts now
Goodbye barley, goodbye beef, lobster, wine, boom!
The symbiotic, peaceful trading, is it gone? No? Right? (Gosh I hope not!)

It's the end of the year as we know it (better exercise from home)
It's the end of the year as we know it (make a Zoom call on your phone)
It's the end of the year as we know it (I’ve had too much time alone)
And I feel fine!

It's the end of the year as we know it (better exercise from home)
It's the end of the year as we know it (make a Zoom call on your phone)
It's the end of the year as we know it (order groceries from home)
And I feel fine!

It's the end of the year as we know it (order shopping from your home)
It's the end of the year as we know it (make a Teams call on your phone)
It's the end of the year as we know it (I’ve had too much time alone)
I suppose I feel fine…

*Yeah, I’ve already turned it off and on again and I’m only getting 2MB per second… how am I supposed to work from home on that?
