Arriving from a war torn country,
Cramped up on a boat
And then your kept in isolation,
Strung out and hung out by the throat
These refugees and detainees,
You want them out to keep this country clean
Everyday's a holiday out on christmas island
Does santa ever visit you out on christmas island?

Free time in the courtyard playing cricket with security
Six and out over the fence,
The game is over kill these refugees and detainees
You want them on a boat back out to sea
Is everyday a holiday out on christmas island?
It's hard to put your trust in us
When you're tortured by the government

They crossed the ocean to be free,
But now they're locked inside
Everyday's a holiday out on christmas island
There's no snow or candy canes just people fucking tired
News limited will keep the ugly truth buried in silence
Everyday's a holiday out on christmas island
