[Intro] Steel wheels grind, the air grows thin, Two engines of power but one machine. Their banners wave, yet their shadows conspire, The chains grow tighter, the stakes grow dire. <(o.O<) [Verse 1] Two faces of a governance feigned, Liberal, Labor—yet their scripts are the same. They sold off the earth, privatized the seas, Bound their people to foreign decrees. From Work Choices’ lash to welfare decay, Rights chipped away under uniparty sway. “Net zero” they whisper, but green is their guise, To silence dissent, they surveil and revise. [Chorus] Chains forged in the halls of deceit, Bound to agendas we can’t yet defeat. One rule, one fist, no sovereignty remains, Australians shackled by uniparty chains. = =(>O.o)> [Verse 2) Metadata hoarded, our secrets laid bare, Under laws that neither party would dare repair. Digital futures, their vision unfolds, A cashless existence, a ledger-controlled. “Build Back Better,” their anthem intoned, Yet who rebuilds when the workers are owned? The World Economic Forum sets the design, Globalist whispers cross sovereign lines. They signed our voices to foreign command, Through treaties that tightened the leash on our land. The Paris accords, free trade’s cruel song, Both waved them through, and the cost is lifelong. [Chorus] Chains forged in the halls of deceit, Bound to agendas we can’t yet defeat. One rule, one fist, no sovereignty remains, Australians shackled by uniparty chains. = <(o.o)> = [Bridge] The rights of assembly, they stripped them away, Replaced with permits and fines to obey. Protests quelled with punitive wrath, On the digital trail, they track every path. A people betrayed, their power undone, As wages stagnate beneath corporate suns. Their pact is concealed, their motives remain, Two colors, one master their power sustains. [Chorus] Chains forged in the halls of deceit, Bound to agendas we can’t yet defeat. One rule, one fist, no sovereignty remains, Australians shackled by uniparty chains. <(o.O<)= = [Outro] The machine won’t halt; its engines will grind, Unless the betrayed reclaim what’s defined. Their pact is the scaffold, their agenda the chains, Rise now, or forever the bondage remains. = = (>O.o)> <(o.O<) = = [Final Chorus] Chains forged in the halls of deceit, Bound to agendas we can’t yet defeat. One rule, one fist, no sovereignty remains, Australians shackled by uniparty chains. <(o.O<) = = = = (>O.o)> [Outro Extended] The machine won’t halt; its engines will grind, Unless the betrayed reclaim what’s defined. Their pact is the scaffold, their agenda the chains, Rise now, or forever the bondage remains. So Australia? What'cha goin to do? Sit on your ass, or try something new? = = <(O.O)> = = <(0.0)> = =
