Well there's big mobs of rough stuff
街头喧嚣纷扰不断
And slingin' of bulldust
满口天花乱坠的承诺
As it draws close to election day mate
随着选举日临近 老兄
Oh they're all really tryin'
他们都在卖力表演
And most of 'em's lyin'
但多数人谎话连篇
To get us to vote for them 'ey mate
就为拉拢我们投票 嘿伙计
They're gonna halt this inflation
声称要遏制通货膨胀
And fix up our nation
还要振兴我们国家
If they only did half what they say mate
要是他们兑现一半承诺 老兄
We would all be in clover
我们早该衣食无忧
The whole country over
举国上下皆安乐
They're real full of promises 'ey mate
他们空头支票满天飞 嘿老兄
Oh remember in drought
还记得旱灾年月
When the big frogs come out
政要们纷纷现身
Air conditioned the whole blasted way mate
全程空调车代步 老兄
As we battled in grief
我们却在苦难中挣扎
And awaited relief
期盼已久的救济迟迟未至
'Til the whole of our mob perished 'ey mate
直到我们这群老伙计都撑不住了 老兄
Well they did raise the pension

But Lord when you mention
但老天啊 当你提到
The price rise in food ev'ry day mate

I don't know how they're livin'

This land should be givin'

Our old folk a better deal 'ey mate

Yeah those spruikers are tireless
那些政客们不知疲倦地鼓吹
That you hear on the wireless
在广播里喋喋不休
With big mobs of nothin' to say mate

But we'll vote for some smarty
但我们还是得投票给某个
Who's leadin' some party

And hope that he does somethin' 'ey mate

I'd shorten the hours

And double our whole blasted pay mate

With a free beer ration

To the blighters who grizzled then 'eh mate
