The ‘Subs’ they are ‘a-changin’
Come gather ’round strategists and get on your phone’s,
And admit that the challenge of AUKUS has grown
To buy submarine stealth, and know where they roam,
As the cost to our budget cuts right to the bone.
So you better start thinking or they’ll sink like a stone,
For the times they are a-changin’
Come writers and critics with strength in your pen,
Force their eyes wide open, to the cost of this spend,
And don’t speak too soon, for the World’s still in spin,
For the Chinese now, will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin’
Come back-benchers and senators
Please heed to the call,
Don’t stand in the doorway, don’t block up the hall,
For he that gets hurt, will be he who has stalled,
As the battle outside now ragin’,
Will soon shake your windows, and rattle your walls,
For the times they are a-changin’
Now people and prophets, throughout this wide land,
Let’s criticise the raw deal, that’s thrust in our hand!
AUKUS of course we can’t understand,
But our sons and our daughters must obey your command,
As our old subs are rapidly agin’!
Please get out of the new ones, that we understand,
For the times they are a-changin’
Now AUKUS is born, the curse it is cast?
The submarines now, will they be smarter and fast,
As the present is now, and will later be Trump.
As the old order, is rapidly fadin’
And the first one now, will later be first!
For the times they are a-changin’
Watto!
With apologies to Bob Dylan!
