Still A Colony

The Head of State in her home palace on a distant shore
Australia is still a colony that and nothing more
For as long as Aussie voters a foreign monarchy choose to embrace
Amongst the Nations of the World Australia cannot take it's place
Though with what i say millions of Australians do disagree
Australia's Head of State living in a distant Country seems all wrong to me
For as long as Australia has one living elesewhere as it's Head of State
The status of Nationhood Aussies cannot celebrate
Buckingham Palace from Canberra seems a World away
At least twenty four hours of air travel a night and a day
For as long as Australia's Head of State lives in England a Country in the Atlantic sea
Australia will be looked on as a British Colony
Though with my opinions on this many Aussies would disagree
At least anyhow that's how it seems to me.
