Because Australians are difficult to offend, they are not sensitive to causing offence in others. To outsiders, Australians often appear very blunt and rude. They tend to call a spade a spade when perhaps more tact is required.
Well, he's the king of fashion in his neighborhood,
With his ripped blue jeans and a flanellette shirt,
A well-kept mullet and a packet of smokes,
His mates will tell you he's a real top bloke
His real name is Barry but his mates call him Bazza
And his girlfriend's name is Sharon but you just call her Shazza
Real top shiela, real top sort,
She'll even change your stubby while you're watching sport
But don't victimise him for his way of life
He's sick and tired of hearing people say...
Nobody likes, nobody likes, nobody likes a bogan!
Nobody likes, nobody likes, nobody likes a bogan!
He drives a VK Commodore with alloy wheels
With a homemade spoiler made of crappy steel
Pair of fluffy dice and all the other toys,
But his "No Fear" sticker is his pride and joy
Saturday night, the boys hit town
Yeah, they're cruising the streets with their windows down
Put on some Barnesy and they're on their way
You'll hear the car coming from a mile away!
But don't victimise him for his way of life
He's sick and tired of hearing people say...
Nobody likes, nobody likes, nobody likes a bogan!
Nobody likes, nobody likes, nobody likes a bogan!
Hey!
Nobody likes, nobody likes, nobody likes a bogan!
Nobody likes, nobody likes, nobody likes a bogan!
Nobody likes, nobody likes, nobody likes a bogan!

I'm a bloke, I'm an ocker, and I really love your knockers,
I'm a laborer by day, I piss up all me pay,
Watching footy on TV, just feed me more VB,
Just pour my beer and get my smokes and go away!

You reckon I
Should just sit by
Watch this illegal alien
Slot on in? (No!)
I don't think so! (Nah!)
That'd be quite un-Australian!
