News Worthy Rebel

I woke up to the ticker,

same old scrolling mess,

Another touchdown, another jersey dress.

My phone is buzzing loud with a slam dunk replay,

While the parliament's on fire,

they say "turn this way!" I’m not here for the cheerleaders in

spandex gold, I want the carbon reports,

the truth that’s getting old.

Turn it down, turn it off,

I’m done with the game,

Give me a headline with a real name.

All sports are fake news,

not news worthy, keep it off the news!

Nothing Bogans and Red Necks do is news worthy,

that's the truth! They only put sports on the news to brainwash

us to be dumb,

So we won’t care about real news like politics when it comes!

Governments shouldn't fund sports or be involved in any way,

It’s a blight on our society,

banish it today! The news should cover Industry News and Environmental News

instead, Not the scoreboard,

not the cheer, that’s what I said!

(that's what I said)

I’m sipping oat milk flat white,

reading the factory floor,

While the anchor’s yelling "GOAL!" for the fourth time evermore.

Give me shipyard strikes,

give me solar panel deals,

Give me melting glaciers,

not the fantasy reels.

My grandma’s on the couch glued to the weekly game,

I’m like "Babe, that’s not the real flame." Turn it down,

turn it off, I’m done with the game,

Give me a headline with a real name.

Honey, I love a good run,

but not on Channel Seven,

I want the budget leak,

the reef’s in heaven.

Let the stadiums stay dark,

let the grants go away,

Fund the labs, fund the trains,

fund a better day.

All sports are fake news,

not news worthy, off the air!

Nothing Bogans and Red Necks do is news worthy,

we don’t care! No more brainwash games to make us stupid and

numb, We want politics,

we want power, not a halftime drum!

No more taxpayer cash for the oval and the pitch,

It’s a blight on our society,

we need to switch!

Give us Industry News and Environmental News instead,

Pop princess truth bomb,

now turn off your head! (yeah!)

Bye-bye sports ticker,

hello real news,

I’m a pop star with a cause,

and I’m using my views.
