LYRICS
I believe that the climate is changing
I’ve said that for nearly ten years
I support same-sex marriage, the plebiscite
It was one of my brilliant ideas
And you’ll find no greater supporter of women
Except for the ones wearing teal
So why did you end it so suddenly
I thought that we had a deal
Poor little moderate me
I’ve been a reasonable voice
I’m a liberal progressive who spent his career
Voting with Barnaby Joyce
But I felt bad when I did it
Yeah a bit of me died every time
Now I’m out of a job
Just for towing my own party line
Poor little moderate me
I did what I had to do
When I locked up kids in detention
I shed a tear just like you
And I may have done nothing on climate
But I drive a hybrid I swear
I’m a good guy
Which is why this is all so unfair
In the party room I was outspoken
You would have loved what I said
Eloquent empathy sensible policy
Flowed from my moderate head
And sure I may have passed legislation
Directly opposing my views
But my seat was so safe
I never imagined I’d lose
I hope that you’ve all learned your lesson
Now Dutton’s the boss it appears
I was nearly done fixing the party
Just needed eleven more years
So have fun with your Independents
And their opinions with which I agree
I just couldn’t say that in public
Poor little moderate me

Brilliant, Insightful, on-point and empathetically merciless.

[@IceWolfLoki]

Love the bar tender getting more and more conflicted as the sketch wears on.

[@secbyrne6509]

I could not love this more, on a thousand different levels ❤️

[@lizziebkennedy7505]

Sammy J is a national treasure.

[@j0esoap]

I laughed so hard at the ending I swear they heard me down the street

[@aylagray3061]

Sammy J has gone film noir and it is great lol

[@joe-sydney-au]

Loved the Teal shirt at the end😁 and the jazz track too.

[@zingleraster9124]

The moderate ghost 👻 of Malcolm Turnbull drowns his sorrows. Brilliant!

[@doanhaiang1081]

The lyrics sound exactly like my dad when he’s drunk

[@colmastro4373]

Holy crap this is FANTASTIC!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@FaterialL]

Had to play it twice, hilarious

[@loulavlass9515]

Sammy J nails it again and again and again👍👍👍

[@joeadams1225]

What a talent, great work Sammy. Thank you. don't mean to criticise but a line about Dutton would have worked a treat. Good luck, coach.

[@oliverokane5072]

This is one of Sammy J's best

[@jcwlupo]

Sammy's best work yet, IMHO. Abso-bloody-lutely nails it!!! All I'd add, is that the sentiment applies equally to the faux caring hearts in Albotross' mob. Though at least, the latter now have their chance to prove me wrong. Here's hoping...

[@PlayerClarinet]

Shoutout to Sam Healy - doubles the value of every Sammy J episode she's in.

[@Kalandra86]

Just love your voice, Sammy.

The end of an era?

[@banksiasong]

Scotty was a "moderate liberal", so I wonder if they ever existed in the c21st at all?

[@channelzero2252]

I'm almost certain that's how he actually sees himself.... 🙄

The moderates have gone and left (opps sorry I mean right) the rest...
