A Public Service Announcement from Down Under

[Verse 1]
Your life expectancy's goin' backwards, mate
You're the only rich country that's running that late
Your babies die at rates worse than Havana's, yeah fair dinkum
While your kids do shooter drills between long division
Your minimum wage hasn't budged in fifteen years
Got teachers workin' double shifts and vets in arrears
You spent a trillion dollars flattening a country
That never raised a fist at you — now that's bloody funny

[Chorus]
Sort your own bloody backyard, mate
Before you open your mouth and pontificate
You've got the hide of a rhino and the memory of a gnat
Sort your own bloody backyard before you come at that

[Verse 2]
And you've gone and elected a convicted felon
A porn star-shaggin', rapist-adjudicatin', insurrectionist
Who ran the greatest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban
Waved goodbye and said "cheers fellas, keep the keys to Afghanistan"
And now you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Son.
They've got free healthcare and free schools for everyone
Nobody goes bankrupt 'cause their kidneys packed it in
Nobody dies in a waiting room — now how's that for a win?

[Chorus]
Sort your own bloody backyard, mate
Before you open your mouth and pontificate
You've got the hide of a rhino and the memory of a gnat
Sort your own bloody backyard before you come at that

[Bridge]
"NATO wasn't there when we needed them" — when was that, exactly, champ?
September 11? Because they invoked Article 5 for the first time since the stamp
Every soldier from every country fought and bled and died for you
Australia wasn't even in NATO — we still bloody showed up — twenty years, true
And you pulled out at 2am
Didn't tell a soul, just said "see ya then"
Left the whole mess on the doorstep, turned off the light
And now you want to lecture us on doing things right?

[Final Chorus]
Sort your own bloody backyard, mate
You spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman, get it straight
You've got the hide of a rhino and the memory of a gnat
The only thing poorly run in this picture
Is your f---in' mouth, and that's that

[Outro — spoken, deadpan]
Cheers.
Look after yourselves.
We'll be over here.
Having universal healthcare.
