VERSE
Australians all let us rejoice, - buddy hold your horses
It's time patriotism was - exposed up to market forces
Your love of country may not fit - in with efficiency
Costs exceeded benefits - at Gallipoli
Self sacrifice just cannot pass - a profit loss assessment
Those Anzac boys were slaughtered on - returns for investment
The government will only stop, - you getting what you can
it just distorts the market, if - you help your fellow man
