The Penis Is Mightier Than The Sword

There's violence on the television, 
And letter bombs in the mail
But things can't be all that bad 
'cause Derryn Hinch went to gaol

Famine eats up children, 
The peace talks; they always fail
But things can't be all that bad 
'cause Derryn Hinch went to gaol

You might have double malaria, 
The doctors look at you; they go pale
But things, they can't be all that bad 
When Derryn Hinch goes to gaol

Christ himself on the cross 
Told the guy who banged in the nail
'Mate, things, they can't be all that bad 
When Derryn Hinch goes to gaol'

Don't you know 
I can take Ronald Reagen, 
I can take Menachem Begin,
I can take tetraplegia, 
I can take total amnesia,
I can take black spiky hair, 
I can take germ warfare,
I can take 'Chasers' and 'Inflation', 
I can take hyperventilation,
I can take total bowel dysfunction, 
I can take nuclear destruction,
I can even take Mike Willisee, well, at a pinch
But one thing I cannot take is Derryn Fucking Hinch
