In response to Kevin Rudds recently proposed super profits tax on Australias mining industry.

LYRICS
*********
NICK: Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has recently announced a super profit tax on Australias mining industry.
The reform would see a 40% tax placed upon mining giants Rio Tinto and other mining companies within Australia.
NIB: But its no minor issue. Already, BHP is reconsidering future iron mining projects in Western Australia.
Which got us thinking... there are currently only three active uranium mines in Australia: Kakadu National Park.
NICK: Kakadu!
NIB: Jabiluka.
NICK: Jabiluka, you beauty!
NIB: And Radium Hill.
NICK: R... Radium Hill.
NIB: Yet Australia has the largest uranium reserves in the world.
NICK: I wonder what it would be like if we ended up mining all of that uranium...
UUUUUUU
UUUUUUU
UUUUUUU
UUUUUUU
[The chemical symbol of Uranium is U]
Weve got bars that glow gamma rays
Radiation powers the place
Uranium
Deep underneath Australia
Below the dusty plain
Uranium is in the soil
But is it there in vein?
Got to dig down
(Vrlll vrllll)
Deep under ground
(Its found underground)
Time for nuclear power
Cuz the industrys a boom (BOOM!)
Those oxides we will stockpile
Watch our market shares mushroom
Lets go all out
(Drill down where its found)
Hope for no fallout
(Your hair might fall out)
Huge coal mining tax to be payed
Solar power dies in the shade
Birds hit hydro-electric fan blades
Uranium
All employees are reminded to wash their protective underwear after use.
Can you name the noble gases making you all cough?
Its like that Chernobyl crisis leaking... oops, were stuffed
Uranium Marge, the acid rains are here!
Uranium My geraniums!
We run far to make our escape
The extra leg helps us to keep pace
Like a one man three-legged race
Uranium
Here at the plant we watch our own skin bake
Turning to pink then glows and starts to flake
Better escape or we will all vaporise
BHP must now come and compensate
Nuclear families in every state
Got the green lung and lasers shoot from our eyes
Everyone can now fly through space
(Im brainier!)
Weve become a new super race
(Big cranium!)
Ive got a new X-men name ITS MACE!
Uranium!
Nuclear construction
Build that power plant
Of the world resources
Weve got 23%
Were mining all these minerals
Refining what we take (So fine!)
No oil spills from our business
Let our energy radiate!
Weve got arms, they stick from our face
Not like arms as in nuclear arms race
Its the decade to be decayed

[VERSE 1]
First day of class, five past the hour
I drive in late to the Ivory Tower
Arriving tardy to the parking lot
Its bloody hot and Ive not found a parking spot
Forgot to study hard, skip my next four lectures
Award me extra marks, Im bored to excess
Pawned my Xbox to afford these text books
Costs big bucks for subjects and HECS sucks
Backpack jam-packed, laptop snapped shut
Scapulae ache like when Pamelas bra straps cut
Hunched back like the keeper of Notre Dame
Run track cause I sleep through my clock alarm
I crammed all damn night for a grammar exam
This campus is a lack-of-concentration camp
Just got asked a question by my Bio tutor
Stall for time to Google it on my computer
Another week of juggling essays each day
Another week of struggling to get my fees payed
Another week of chugging lattés like a clichéd
Tree-hugging greenie druggie plugging beans from free trade
Ps get degrees, screw a High Distinction
Studious students? Thats all science fiction
Facetiously critique Pidgin-English linguistic diction
Finishing prestigious theses for distinguished recognition
[HOOK]
Heck no, we dont ever study
Lets go to a toga party
In a sheer thong swilling from a beer bong
Playing beer pong down here all year long
Wake up, baked as a lamb roast
Taped-up naked to a lamp post
I hate taking notes, its so boring
Head back to dorm and make some Mi Goreng
[CHORUS]
I love university
Get that college bursary
Educations tertiary
I love university
[VERSE 2]
Back in the age of the sage and wise
There were no book pages to plagiarise
No minimum wage vocations nationwide
Or economics majors beige with Asian eyes
Ancient guys from Shang Xiang; Pi Yong, too
Along with Gu Zong, Cheng Jun and Dong Xu
Taught the Six Arts: Calligraphy, Archery and Music
Charioteering, Math and Rites of Confucius
Pythagoras used the quadrivium methodology
Mathematics, Geometry, Music and Astrology
Platos trivium academy was pedagogical
Giving a Grammatical, Rhetorical and Logical
Scholarly delivery from his new college
Timbuktu and Nālandā searched for true knowledge
Alexandria filled book covers with learnin
If the roofs on fire, let the motherf er burn, man!
[HOOK]
Heck no, we dont ever study
Lets go to a toga party
In a sheer thong swilling from a beer bong
Playing beer pong down here all year long
Wake up, baked as a lamb roast
Taped-up naked to a lamp post
I hate taking notes, its so boring
Head back to dorm and make some Mi Goreng
[CHORUS]
I love university
Get that college bursary
Educations tertiary
I love... love... love...
[BRIDGE]
Charles Sturt in the house, throw your hands up
Monash from down south, grow your plants up
UWS, from the west side
ANU, number one, youre the best site
Yo, Macquarie with your green grass and ball courts
Sydney University looks like Hogwarts
UTS, youre so U-G-L-Y
And New South, you aint got no alumni
Gonna learn my three Rs at the old redbrick
Sing it: Reading Riting and Rithmetic
Degrees from Harvard, Princeton and Yale
Got my online fakes sent in the mail
Cmon!
I love university
(repeat to end)
