Nuclear Device
The Stranglers Lyrics

I'm the wizard of aus
I am the one in charge, the mastermind behind everything in Australia.

And I've got it all planned
I have everything under control and every detail planned out, including the creation of a nuclear device.

For my first nuclear device
I am planning on creating my first nuclear device, which will give me even more power and control over Australia.

I don't really care about which way you vote
I do not care about the opinions of Australian citizens or their voting preferences, as I have rigged the system in favor of myself.

'Cos my gerrymander works out fine
Because I have manipulated the boundaries of electoral constituencies to secure more votes for myself, and it has been successful so far.

I sell desert stretches like a big rubber glove
I am willing to sell Australia's dry, useless land to foreign nations to gain economic power and influence, like a rubber glove that molds to any shape or size.

To Japan for a nuclear device
I am willing to sell land to Japan in exchange for a nuclear device, which I will use to assert my dominance even further.

If I could get lucky I'd secede from the states
If I had the opportunity, I would break away from the rest of the world and govern Australia solely on my own terms.

I'd buy the country at an incredible rate
I am willing to pay a large sum of money to gain complete control over Australia and its resources.

Brisbane men stay at home at night
I am cracking down on criminal activity in Brisbane and therefore, men are too afraid to go out at night.

'Cos I outlawed all of the vice
Because I have outlawed any type of illegal activity, including gambling, drugs and prostitution.

And I've rolled the streets
I have complete authority over the Australian people and have the power to do whatever I want without any consequences.

Dreaming of a nuclear device
I am fantasizing about the power and control that comes with owning such a weapon, and will do whatever it takes to obtain one.

If I could get lucky I'd go out on my own
If I were to gain complete independence from the rest of the world, I would be free to do whatever I want and gain even more power.

And sell Australia the rice
I would take advantage of Australia's resources and opportunities for economic gain, at the expense of its people.

Way down under Australia
The country of Australia, which is located beneath the rest of the world.

Very different from over here
Australia is vastly different from other places in the world in terms of its culture, geography and politics.

Getting rid of Abo's one by one
I am systematically eliminating the Aboriginal population in Australia, showing my total disregard for human life and basic human rights.

Buy cheap land for uranium
I am exploiting the land for its natural resources, such as uranium, and purchasing it for a low cost to gain economic power and influence in the world.

It reminds me of Sweden
The similarities between Australia and Sweden in terms of geography and natural resources remind me of the potential economic gain I could have by exploiting them.

All the animals look so strange
The unique and diverse wildlife in Australia are a representation of the country's beauty and potential for profit through tourism.

All victims of a testing range
The animals in Australia have been subjected to cruel and inhumane testing using nuclear weapons, showing the disregard for life and the environment in pursuit of power and control.

Of a testing range
The location where nuclear weapons were tested, resulting in damage to the environment and harm to living beings.
