But a promise is
not a promise, if I gave it while ad libbing
I was speaking
to you off the cuff, I really didn’t know
That when we followed
Labor, how deep the hole would go
No new taxes I
did tell you, and I’ve stuck by that intent
This debt tax is
not something that my party did invent
There’s been debt
taxes in our history, just called a different thing
But I need to find
some money so the coffers go “ka-ching”
I’ve been in this
job a while now, I’m not ready for a fall
And I know you
won’t believe me, but I’m really standing tall
Every week I bank
my paycheck, I never spend a cent
All my meals and
and all my travel, on your tab those funds are spent
We need tough
financial planning, young Joe his budget sings
Not one economic
qualification, but that doesn’t mean a thing
He simply crunches
numbers, then makes those numbers fit
And if you folk don’t
like it, I couldn't give a shit
In two years you'll have forgotten, how we screwed you over good
Like a true blue
politician, I did everything I could
To make you think
I’m worried, to make you think I care
But when I'm not
a politician, care less I won't what’s there
Because I will
have my pension, so special it is to me
And all my perks
as an ex-PM, each renewed annually
And I shall live
in comfort, because money it's not an issue
And the best that
I can do for you is to pass another tissue
