The Melting Pot!

Straya Day 18!

I've told you once,
I've told you twice
Australia's life in the Melting Pot!

The sun's ablazing
The temp is rising
Emotions are getting hot.

Some for tennis and cricket too
Others head to Australia zoo!
Aussie! Aussie! Aussie.

Along our shores they with line,
We arrived here over time,
Our indigenous mark our crimes.

We are now one
Under the blazing sun,
Underneath tensions rise.

We gather for the North and Souths,
To make our homes and build our house.
What a shame we built fences to.

English, French and German too,
The Greeks, Italians and Asian woo who
We ignore those who live here!

On our boats we travelled far,
The Vietnamese  formed who we are,
Now it seems we're over crowded.

Time has lapse we grown tall,
Tall poppy syndrome affects us all,
Look at me! Look at me! Look at me!

Talk about the winging proms
We've perfected the sorrow song.
You're wrong. You're wrong. You're wrong,

Land rights, LGHTI rights, women too,
People with disabilities included too.
We all want in on the best there is.

It saddens me we've gone astray,
We're lost the meaning of today.
Boiled over in our pot.

We demand to rule the roost.
Pointing fingers we start to boast.
Now divided in this land. 

I've told you once,
I've told you twice
On Australia Day expect a fight,
