[Verse 1]
We bozos have formed a cabal
Just as predicted by Marx, Karl
And now you're led by tweets and fibs
And PR men, dunces and spivs
Fifteen white guys 'round a desk
Half big business, half Murdoch press
Who ensure the country elects
A cretin in a high-vis fuckin' vest

[Chorus]
Cabal of bozos
Cabal of bozos

[Verse 2]
We all agree with Lenin, Vlad
With twenty or so likely lads
We can control the whole ship's crew
The useful idiots are you
And that is why the PM stands
With glossy pamphlet in his hand
Assuring all the nation's saved
Above him looms the tidal wave
(Above him looms the tidal wave)

[Chorus]
Bozos
Cabal of bozos
[Verse 3]
Elections comе and then they go
They'rе helpful when the news is slow
But do they change things? Ah, well, no
Though I will swear I've not said so
(I will swear I've not said so)
I'll swear I've not said so, just, I'm sick of this
(I will swear I've not said so)
Take us to China, take us to friggin' China, mate
Like, I can't afford to pay you pricks
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Just, ah, wait, wait, wait, wait, can I try this?
Come on, just a minute, just a minute

[Bridge]
Just imagine
A brighter side
To another life
To a better life
Just imagine
A brighter side
(What?)
To a better life
(A better what? Mate)
To a better life
(You're in the gig economy here, mate
I'm payin' you $3.50 a frickin' hour here
You're not part of a union here, alright
You can't just do what you want!
You know what I want?
That's the whole point of this song!
It's not 'cause I'm a genius
It's not 'cause I'm creative
It's 'cause that's the system!)
[Chorus]
Bozo-town
Bozo-town

[Verse 4]
Welcome to the new ruling class
We've replaced jackboot with jackarse
Our mistakes we can dodge and fudge
Though nothing could hide Alan Tudge
Let me tell you one thing, though
We hate that Mike Cannon-Brookes, bro
Looking hip in the Davos snow
Showing all that get up and go

[Chorus]
Bozo-town
Bozo-town

[Verse 5]
That is not our Oz tradition
What next? Market competition?!
Four banks – enough; Woolies and Coles
Why dilute the rivers of gold?
(Not to fuck, not to fuck with the rivers of gold
Not to fuck, not to fuck with the rivers of gold
Not to fuck, not to fuck, not to fuck, not to fuck
Not to fuck, not to fuck with the rivers of gold)
[Chorus]
Bozos
Cabal of bozos

[Verse 6]
Rezone some land or dig it up
Find a council to corrupt
Invent something new? Can't be arsed
We're the Australian business class
The world, properly understood
Has no such thing as a common good
Just fight it out with blood and pus
The fit survive, and also us

[Chorus]
Bozo-town

[Verse 7]
Delude yourself that pop songs can
Alleviate the wrongs of man
We venal chumps in business shirts
Take that as proof the system works
(That is proof the system works)

[Verse 8]
Got no more time for your jokes, boy
Fuck back off to the hoi polloi
Australia's run by old white blokes
Hold on – just got a call from Kerry Stokes

[Chorus]
Bozo-town
(Just got a call from Kerry Stokes)
Bozo-town
(You know, I'm one of his good blokes)

[Outro]
Actually, ya little pisser, that sorta reminds me
I, I was havin' lunch with Innes Willox the other day
I mean, Innes Willox? Fuck, he's so boring, I mean
It's like a monkey, ya pull the fuckin' string and the words come out
Y'know? Like one of them little toys ya buy at the carnival
Anyway, he's just a shill for us
And he's there woaning and moaning and bitching and whining in the media about how hard it is for Australian business
How hard it is? For Australian business? You kidding?
Fuck, with market domination and no competition
And every time something goes wrong, we go whining back to the government
I mean, we hate the government, mate, except when it helps us
When it helps us, we love the government
Anyway, get your fuckin' dick out of the toaster and fuck off, will ya?
