The opening number to the 2007 University of Queensland Law Revue - a reworded parody of My Chemical Romance's "Welcome To The Black Parade". -- When I was in high school My father took me into St Lucia To see the open day He said, "Son, when you grow up Would you be the guardian of justice And make wrongdoers pay?" He said "Will you be like them The judges and all the senior counsel The best you ever saw?" "Because one day you'll come here A student, a first-year in the summer To join the School of Law." I wanted lots of money I got a good OP At first I thought I had nowhere to turn I tried out Griffith, QUT I even went to TAFE They can't compare to good old TC Beirne We'll practice law, we'll practice law And though you're ethical believe me You really want to practice law We'll practice law And we'll defend the constitution And get some restitution In no time we were learning To think like Thomas Hobbes Cause life is nasty, brutish and too short So please obey the CLA Read Perre v Apand And when you're done I'm taking you to court To practice law, we'll practice law And Denny Crane is just on TV But you can be like Alan Shore And practice law We'll work endless billable hours Our work-life balance flounders On and on we'll make it through five years, ooooh Watch out, your assignment deadline nears, ooooh Have some more caffeine Cause a 4 won't do at ... Do or die, I'll get my degree I'm positive, just like H.L.A Hart Gotta try pay off my HECS fees I want it all, I want a big head start Soon my name will shine in glory I'm aiming high, I'm going to the bar I'm the chair for this tribunal Listen here, because I'm talking I'll claim my land like Eddie Mabo Take the stand, the lower court was wrong Not afraid, because I have no Duty of care We'll practice law, we'll practice law And though you disagree with Kirby McHugh will bring you back for more We'll practice law And though you're doing an Arts degree You don't want to spend your life poor Do or die, I'll get my degree Won't have to work at Macca's or K-Mart Say goodbye to Logan City I want it all, I want a big head start (we'll practice LAW!) Do or die, I'll get my degree And all my friends will think I'm really smart My stocks are high with an LLB As long as I avoid falling apart We'll practice LAW! -- http://www.myspace.com/uqlawrevue
