lyrics

Look at them borders we keep
patrolling the deep
Turning back them boats
then we lie through grit teeth

They say we don't trust their religion
we don't trust their skin
We don't care for their children
and even less for their kin

We should be
We should be so smug
We should be
We should be so smug

... More chicken wings for the miners
more pardons for the bankers
more boys for the clergy
more media for the masses

More fees for the poor
many more laws for the vocal
no blankets for the homeless
no entitlements for yu all...

We should be
We should be so smug
We should be
We should be so smug

We lock them up on islands
So long as they don't come ashore
We're willing to carry the burden of violence
And turn our backs to the law

We got law breakers running the country
We have no leadership that serves
They've severed all dignity
They're gonna get just what they deserve...

We should be
We should be so smug
We should be
We should be so smug
