A mother here in Adelaide
Her council made their mark
By fining ’cause magician
Birthday’d in their park
No-one was offended
No-one did complain
Bureaucracy it just went mad
(Here we go again)
More concerned they were to
Uphold the letter law
The other side was unimportant
It’s spirit they ignored
Rules are for the guidance
Of wise men as their tools
They’re also there for blind obedience
Obedience of fools
