[Verse 1]
Definitive [D]history,
splinters of foundation,
Weaving of our horrors into
pig silks full [Bm]of glory holes
[D]And fabrics of contritio[A]n.

[Interlude 1]
[D][A][D][A][D]

[Verse 2]
Curtsey to [D]your betters,
Who picked you for a nothing,
tried to knock out your stuffing,
Bold in their [Bm]beers,
[D]straw between their ear[A]s.

[Verse 3]
[D]The same smug ex [A]pression,
[D]same false cheer,
Same air of predation –
“Stranger welcome…” just not [Bm]here,
[D]just not here, just not [A]here.

[Verse 4]
[D]All men are [A]mice, [D]all men are [A]mice,
[D]it doesn’t pay to be [A]nice,
[D]Take all[Dm] be[D][Bm][D]
[A]fore you.
Definitive [D]history.
[A][D]

[Verse 5]
Pay respect to the common folk,
it’s an obligation,
Let common sense commandeer you,
Take up all the [Bm]hard [D]work,
Steer your thoughts in a [A]circle [A]jerk.

[Verse 6]
Make ab[D]ominable children,
vicious little animals,
Reared up like [A]pit bull [D]dogs
By the ordinary [Bm]Australians…
[D]O

[Verse 7]
[A]one for the mot[D]her,
one for the [A]dad,
[D]One for treasurer, one for the [A]plasma screen,
[D]and don’t forget
[A]The developer’s dream,
A [D]tu mour for them [Bm]all in the
belly of the [A]sprawl –
Definitive [D]history.

[Verse 8]
[D]Two young men took a Chi[A]nese gir[D]l
Early one Thursday morning,
Brick to her head and a cord
round her neck,
Hands [Bm]on her [A]bod[D]y…
Drowned her in [A]a bathtub,
[D]rolled her in a sheet,
Dumped her in the river,
Tragedy [Bm]crowed [A]the newspaper
[Dm]lett[A]ers…[D]

[Verse 9]
[A]“In our own [D]backyard!”
In our own back[A]yard,[D]
Oh how could it [A]be with [D]all
[Bm]we’ve taught them?[A]

[Verse 10]
O one for the [D]mother, one for the [A]dad,
[D]One for treasurer, one for the [A]plasma screen,
[D]and don’t forget
[A]The developer’s dream,
A [D]tumour for them [Bm]all in
the belly of the [A]sprawl

[Verse 11]
O one for the [D]mother, one for the [A]dad,
[D]One for treasurer, one for the [A]plasma screen,
[D]and don’t forget
[A]The developer’s dream,
A [D]plot to bury them [Bm]all at the
edge of [A]the sprawl [Dm]–[A]
Defin[D]itive history.
