Once a merchant banker squatted up in Canberra
He was as liberal as Liberals could be
And he sang as he watched and waited for his NEG to boil
This country needs cheaper energy
Photo-voltaics, photo-voltaics
Batteries and hydro are where we should be
And he sang as he watched and waited for his NEG to boil
This country needs cheaper energy
Down came consultants to drink from an open trough
Up jumped the banker to greet them with glee
You’ll get rewarded if you guide me through this labyrinth
This country needs cheaper energy
Photo-voltaics, photo-voltaics
Batteries and hydro are where we should be
You’ll get rewarded if you guide me through this labyrinth
This country needs cheaper energy
Up jumped a rival, angered by a scrambled NEG
Up jumped supporters, all forty three
We’re off to the party room to sort out the leadership
This country needs cheaper energy
Photo-voltaics, photo-voltaics
Batteries and hydro are where we should be
We’re off to the party room to sort out the leadership
This country needs cheaper energy
Up jumped the banker and leapt into his limousine
You’ll never get me by vote said he
And a voice may be heard as you walk near a Wall Street bank
Australia needs cheaper energy
Photo-voltaics, photo-voltaics
Batteries and hydro are where we should be
And a voice may be heard as you walk near a Wall Street bank
Australia needs cheaper energy
Post-script or post-tweet?
Down came the scribblers writing up the banker’s rage
Murdoch and Stokes were bad as could be
They conspired through their media to really do him in
That is the truth – from your ABC
Cheaper energy said he.
Well, how about, if it’s free?
Completely impossible,
completely impossible,
said coal miners.one two three.
Up jumped an expert and said. that’ll do me.
We can build some MSR thorium,
and use it to burn waste from uranium.
and be paid billions annually. Paid billions annually.
Paid billions annually, that’ll do me!
Up rode the bankers who said, no more money,
no more money, for coal-fired power.
And argued for alternatives by the hour.
Up rode the conservatives. and advocated,,
We’ll build, a coal-fired operation in Queensland.
The greens went into meltdown and said.
you’ll never build you’ll it, you’ll never build it.
And their ghosts may be heard,
as you pass by that coal mine.
Renewables by me are fine.
And sure to reduce consumption said we,
sure to reduce consumption, if nobody,
can afford our preferred renewable energy.
Chorus, sung with fingers rammed firmly into both ears.
Lalalalalaalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala.
alalalalalalalalalalalalala..
