Australia - The World's Suburb

Maybe it makes you more intense
When your country's small and you live in tents
Kurds get gassed, they die to win
Land from Yass to Deniliquin
Israel - it's the merest sliver?
Fits between Hay and the Murray River
My map don't show Condamine
But it's probably bigger than Palestine

Imagine if old Yasser Arafat
Was given everything south of Ararat
Make the Middle East far less hairy
And none of us would miss Port Fairy

Australia - the world's suburb

Let's solve the whole Arabic mania
Let's sling 'em all...what's it called...Tasmania!
Put all of Israel east of Broome
Double the size we've got the room
But nationalism's so damn myopic
When you're in the atlas but microscopic
All those guys they'd rather blow it up
Than move their homes to Kooweerup
Of all nations the most superb
Australia - the world's suburb
New York, London, Paris, Munich
Fit 'em all in the Mallee district
Solve the Palestinian question
Hundred Ks northeast of Preston
