The Art of No
The Ayes Have It (But She Don't)
Everybody knows the bill is dead
Everybody knows the Senate’s red
Everybody knows the deal is done
The major parties had their fun
The crossbench bargains were all just show
The whips have cracked, the whistle’s blowed
That’s how it goes
And Hanson always votes no.
Everybody knows the bells are ringing
Everybody knows the mud they’re slinging
Everybody knows the clerk can’t count
With all the grievances they mount
Everybody knows that the motion’s lost
Everybody knows what the lobby cost
The Ayes go high, the chamber’s low
And Hanson always votes no.
And everybody knows that it’s now or never
Everybody knows that it’s gonna take forever
Everybody knows that the act is rotten
Old amendments best forgotten
Everybody knows the tellers move
With nothing left for them to prove
The red room puts on quite a show
But Hanson always votes no.
Everybody knows the maiden speech
The lessons that she tried to teach
About the fish and about the chips
And the tight-pursed silence of the lips
Everybody knows the division line
Is drawn in sand and drawn in wine
From the Top End down to the southern flow
Hanson always votes no.
And everybody knows that the plague is coming
Everybody knows that the drums are drumming
Everybody knows that the borders leak
Everybody knows that the strong are weak
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That’s how it goes
And everybody knows
Hanson always votes no.
Hanson always votes no.
Hanson always votes no.
That's how it goes.
Everybody knows.
