lyrics

So you’ve booked your expensive holiday up to the sunshine state.
Expensive cars & skyscrapers, i bet you just can’t wait.
Even though the gerrymanders gone, there’s still a lot left to see.
As you see scrawled on the pub dunny wall, as you go in to pee.

Welcome to the xenophobic state,
I think you’ll like it here,
it’s the fifty-third state, of America.

We couldn’t sell Fraser Island off, so we’ll sell Shoalwater instead.
Made Daintree a national park ‘cos we had to gain some cred.
Everybody here thinks like you and so it all should be.
So sit back while the new world order makes a joke of democracy.

Welcome to the xenophobic state,
I think you’ll like it here,
it’s the fifty-third state, of America.

If you like to swim through tourists, then give Southbank a go.
Weep, mourn and take pictures of the bits once owned by Joh.
Now that you’ve run out of cash, it’s time that you went home.
You’ll come up here, summer next year,
to the great American clone.

Welcome to the xenophobic state,
I think you’ll like it here,
it’s the fifty-third state, of America.
Welcome to the xenophobic state,
I think you’ll like it here,
it’s the fifty-third state, of America.
