DO AS YOUR TOLD OR ELSE!
2 January 2010
As a former choir member truth must be told
How they all laughed when we tried
Moments there was when someone cried
The truth was always properly denied
How they conned and always lied
Do as your told or else! Or you must go
Sing for those scraps after each show
Stale out of date food sometimes rotten
Out of mind out of sight almost forgotten
Cruelty and harsh rules we all know well
Singing for scraps after each show;
Be on time for rehearsals or pay a price
Penalty points and treatment not so nice
Do as your told or else! Or you must go!
Sing for those scraps after each show
Sometimes we ride a bus or catch that train
Be on time for that gig in the pouring rain
Welsh says we're not allowed to complain
ABC will punish us all over again
Conditions so bad we all must endure
It’s called desperation; which isn’t the cure
Sydney street choir performs well in their hell
Jonathon Welsh is always doing so well
Yet they always go about and rubbish us
When we stand up to corruption and thus
Make us all look bad while they remain great
After ten years, still out of mind and out of sight
Still they afflict fear as we perform with fright
Do as your told or else! Or you must go!
Still singing for scraps after each show
Peter Lehner now has abandoned the fold
Like Jonathon Welch dumped them ice cold
Corrupt media still repeats making those lies
Making new choirs and no one gets wise
Use and Abuse they both all dish out
Collecting those grants their scams are about
Exploiting the homeless, using the poor
No one can complain as all will ignore
The choir ditched again while Lehner sets up more
Raking up grants, fleecing more cash
While the SSC abused and dumped out as trash
