It's a lovely day in Ballarat,
I'm kicking back, thinking of you.
I hear that you've been poorly,
I'm sorry that you're feeling blue.
I know what it's like when you feel a little shitty,
You just wanna curl up and have an itty-bitty doona day.
But a lot of people here really miss you Georgie,
We really think you ought to just get on a plane
(Just get on a plane)
We all just want you to,
Come home Cardinal Pell.
I know you're not feeling well,
and being a crook ain't much fun.
Even so I think you should come...
Home, Cardinal Pell.
Come down from your citadel,
It's just the right thing to do.
They have a right to know what you knew.
Couldn't you see what was under your nose Georgie,
Back in '73 when you were living with Jerry.
Is it true that you knew but you chose to ignore?
Or did you actively try to keep it buried?
And years later, when survivors, despite their shame and their fear,
Stood up to tell their stories. You spent year after year,
Working hard to protect the Church's assets.
I mean with all respect, dude. I think you're scum
And I reckon you should come home Cardinal Pell,
We know you're not feeling well (Cardinal Pell)
Perhaps you just need some sun,
It's lovely here you should come...
Home, you pompous buffoon (Pompous Buffoon)
And I suggest do it soon,
I hear the tonin' of a bell and it has a Pellian Knell.
I wanna be transparent here George, i'm not the greatest fan of your religion.
And I personally believe that those that cover up abuse, should go to prison.
But your ethical hypocrisy, your intellectual vacuity and your arrogance don't bother me as much.
As the fact that you have turned out to be such a God damn coward.
You're a coward, Georgie (You're a coward, Georgie).
Come face the music, Georgie (Face the music, Georgie).
You owe it to the victims, Georgie ( You owe it to them, George).
Come face the music, the music. Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
If the Lord God omnipotent reigneth,
He will take one look at you and say...
Go home Cardinal Pell (Cardinal Pell).
I've got a nice spot in hell (Nice spot in hell),
With your name on it and so,
I suggest you toughen up and go...
Home Cardinal Pell (Cardinal Pell).
I'm sure they'll make you feel wel-
come at the pub in Ballarat.
They just want a beer and a chat.
Come home Cardinal Pell (Cardinal Pell).
I know you're scared Georgie-Pooh (Come home),
they have a right to know what you knew.
You're time is runnin' out to attone Georgie,
I think the Lord is calling you home Georgie!
Perhaps he could forgive even you (Forgive even you).
Just let them know what you knew.
Oh, Cardinal Pell.
My lawyer just rang me to tell me,
this song could get me in legal trouble.
Oh well, Cardinal Pell.
If you don't feel compelled to come home by a sense of moral duty,
Perhaps you'll come home and frickin' sue me.
Come Home (Cardinal Pell)
