Dusty Starr is from Kinglake Ranges, the mountain districts north of the world’s most locked down city, Melbourne Australia.
A well known star of Australian country music, like so many other Australians he has been radicalised by the draconian overreach of the Australian government’s response to the Covid era.
He has attended and performed at 15 of Melbourne’s often violent anti-lockdown and anti-vaccine mandate demonstrations over the past two years.
And like so many other Australians, he has joined the Canberra Convoy, which has now attracted thousands of people to the nation’s capital and is growing by the day, by the hour.
Never a protest singer, the times have forged him into an outspoken critic of the authoritarian derangement which has overtaken his beloved country.
The Blind Factory
Six o’clock
The news is hot
You’ve got a brand new enemy
Fears, tears, raise your shields and spears
No place for conspiracy
Politics, biased media tricks
As easy as ABC
Keep the faith
They’ll keep you safe
While they take away our liberty’s
But you don’t see
Your in the blind factory
You don’t see
Your in the blind factory
Now there’s walls where there never was before
And laws for what yo say and breath
They give a little hope with a little more rope
But they can still jerk you to your knees
And your taught to attack those who fight back
Exposing the hypocrisy
But your in so deep
You follow the sheep
To the slaughter is where it leads
But you dont see
You’re in the blind factory
You’re don’t see
You’re in the blind factory
You just wont see
Because you’re in the
Blind factory.
The Corona 19
You shake it to the left
You shake it to the right
You block your ears
And you shut your eyes tight
You do a lockdown turn around
Jump up and scream
You’ve just woken up from Corona 19
Well we thought 2020 was gonna give us plenty
But W H O is blaming the bats
And that’s that
Or did it
Escape from the lab in Wuhan, make its way from Beijing
The Corona 19
Now we’re from the right
And we’re shaking to the left
We close our eyes
Open wide
And take the test
We do a lock down turn around
Jump up and scream.
We’re just waking up to Corona 19
Our economy, where is it going to be
Are we gonna lock down every time we sneeze
We could be up the Belt and Road
With a heavy heavy load, from the Corona 19
We’ been shaken to the left. We‘ve been shaken to the right
We marked our face
blocked ears and
We shut our eyes tight
We’ve done a lockdown turn around
We Jumped up and screamed
We’ve just woken up to the Corona 19
Yeah we’ve been shaken to the left Yeah we're shaken to the right
We blocked our ears
And we shut our eyes tight
We done a lockdown turn around
Jumped up and screamed
We`ve just woken up from Corona 19.
Australia don’t dob in your neighbour
Australia, Don’t dob in yu neighbour
It’s not what this great nation stands for
Yeah it’s time to do our bit
But it ain’t like us to snitch
And turn upon each other, like never before
Now some of us can stay home
And some, to work we have to go
Some are doing ok and some real hard
Some receiving benefits
Some receiving non of it
Some doing what they can, trying not to starve
So come on, Australia
Don’t dob in yu neighbour
It’s not something we would do in the past
And taking out our rage on our community Facebook page
And calling coppers, will make you look like an ass
So let’s all do our bit
And give these germs the flick
But let’s not loose the plot along the way
Let’s not sacrifice, our free Australian way of life
Cause dobbing in each other is not ok
So come on Australia
Don’t dob in in your neighbour
These hard times will surly pass
Let’s not loose our self control from our lack of dunny roll
Cause dobbing each other in
Makes you look like an ass.
Australia Don’t Dob In Your Neighbour.
Locked Down Under
One thing about history
It helps you see how tomorrow could be
And if you think we’ve learnt from our mistakes
There just reruns, old repeats
Denying freedom of speech
Propaganda machines
Clearing the way for a new regime
And when they call in the dogs
To herd all the sheep
It’s time to hit the streets
And make a stand
Wile you can
For your lucky land
Raise your flag, fight for your rights
It’s in your hands
Make a stand, why you can, for your lucky land
The fight for freedom is never over
If your locked down under
The one thing we know that is true
This is a time of change
And if you think solidarity is suddenly tumbling down around you
Well the`re alway chiping away
As they divide and they conquer
Turn a brother on a brother
Some will head to the hills
But some will take the pill
And when they call in the dogs
And herd the sheep
Its time to hit the streets
And make a stand, while we can
For our lucky land
Raise our flag, fight for our rights
It’s in our hands
Make a stand, while we can
For our lucky land
The fight for freedom is never over
If your locked down under
