(Can you guess the tune?)

1. Almost Nike, Cancer Council,
Heart Foundation, Amnesty or Greenpeace,
Work is cold there, colder than you'd think,
But warmer than in politics, or at Centrelink.

Chorus
NGOs, take our funds,
From the place they belong,
Cut campaigning, work on branding,
Take our funds, NGOs.

2. Regulations gather round them,
Tax deduction, charitable status,
State endorsement snaps them into line,
Missed out on rebellion, teardrop in my eye.

Chorus

Bridge
I hear their voice on the morning show it galls me,
The messaging reminds me of Obama's campaign,
And marching down the road I get a feeling that they'll misrepresent
Our campaign, once again...

Chorus.
