𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡  𝐅𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠  𝐅𝐨𝐫…….?

We’re fighting for the bastards bound for Hell.

We’re fighting for the drones who cannot spell.

We’re fighting for the men who’ll never work.

We’ll fight as hard as we once fought the Turk.

The N.D.I.S.? Yes we’ll fight for that!

We’ll fight for every filthy scheming rat!

We’ll fight for gay parades in Sydney Town!

(Where Albo should have worn a pretty gown…)

We’ll fight so that our kids can hug drag queens,

And so they can watch pornographic scenes.

We’ll fight for those who rewrite history,

But fight against religious mystery.

We’ll fight with enemies, against our friends.

We’ll fight against what’s right — until it ends.

We’ll heed the call, and off to war we’ll go,

To fight for all the things that bring us low.

— D.N. O’Brien
