LYRICS
\nWhat if the Earth is a spaceship
\nFull of illegal aliens seeking some asylum
\nAnd on the stormy seas (sees) overturn… flip
\nWill there be a rescue? Will there be refuge?
\nWill we be taken in? Or will they refuse?<\/p>\n
Chorus
\nWhen you know you’re feeling like Snowden
\nThere’s absolutely no where to go… then,
\nYou realize your relative size
\nA sheep in sheep’s clothes. No lies. No guise.<\/p>\n
What if you were fleeing a brutal rule
\nPraying for a Christmas past Christmas Island
\nInstead a new guinea pig in (Papua) New Guinea
\nPlease tell me who really is the fool
\nTreat everyone as enemy not as friend?
\nWhat is your motive? Fear, control or pinch a penny?<\/p>\n
Chorus<\/p>\n
The most sought after by the Central Intelligence Agency
\nPlease, oh, please take me to your leaders
\nFor if there is intelligent life here, I’ve yet to see
\nAppears the hypocrites are all traitors
\nTrying to prevent all that should be
\nTurning our futures into laters<\/p>\n
Chorus<\/p>\n

\nPapua New Guinea’s opposition has resurrected a constitutional challenge to Australia’s detention centre on Manus Island as the first group of asylum seekers arrive to experience Labor’s tough resettlement policy. The 40 mainly Iranian and Afghan single men were flown from Christmas Island late on Wednesday and touched down on Manus Island on Thursday morning.<\/p>\n
\nRefugee advocates are concerned for the safety of asylum seekers in Nauru after large-scale riots at the island’s detention centre late last month. Yesterday, Prime Minister Kevin Rudd signed a deal with Nauru’s president that will see asylum seekers who arrive by boat in Australia sent to Nauru to have their claims processed and possibly resettle there.
