Come to the land of tomorrow
Come to the land of opportunity
Men for the land
Women for the home
Australia for the White Man.*

The apocalypse approaches yet the song goes on. Worship the militant cuteness of the idol, the unrelenting steps, the pumping BPM of the anthem. Surrender to the falsehood, let your little legs run, work, kick and dance.

Be a loyal...loyal...loyal...fan.

I work on the unceded sacred lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation. This land is and always will be Aboriginal land - sovereignty was never ceded. Pay the rent.
