Like ''Saya Tidak Bersalah', Tara Hack recorded this powerful song at Cloud 9 Recording in New York, in the summer of 2009. It documents in detail the tragedy of Schapelle, starkly presenting the appalling facts, but at the same time delivering a very clear message to Australia's Prime Minister.

Lyrics
Ver:
Can I have your attention
Cause there’s something going on
In the land of Indonesia
Something really went wrong
There’s a girl who needs redemption
And she needs it really fast
So let me have your attention
So she can go free at last
Pre:
A little while ago
I sung a little song
About Schapelle Corby
She’s an Aussie girl
From a perfect world
Who’s the victim of this story
She shed her tears
For the past 5 years
Now it’s time to rally
Cause she’d be free today
She’d be on her way
If she never went to Bali
Chorus:
Now I’m off to see the wizard
Down under in OZ
Kevin Michael Rudd - yeah
Schapelle’s behind bars
She tried to tell John Howard
But she didn’t to get to far
He was hanging in the out back
While Mick Keelty hit the bar.
Ver:
Do you remember John Lennon
When he took a stand
He only used a few cords
To give peace a chance.
Well when I wrote this song
I decided to use three
And now I’m calling to the free world
To come and sing it with me!
Pre - chorus:
When the government and the press hold hands
They can change the situation
It can affect the way you feel today
It’s called public manipulation
They can smear the facts
While they change their hats
And become the latest fashion
It’s a real slick trick, but we’re on to it
Now it’s time to take some action
Chorus:
So let’s all go see the wizard
Down under in OZ
And tell Kevin Rudd
That we’ve got a cause
Do you know Schapelle Corby
Well she’s from OZ, too
John Howard was a coward
Now it’s all up to you
Ver:
I’ve heard the Voice of Reason
And Mr. Jansen, too
If you think Schapelle’s guilty
You both need to get a clue
So pull up a chair now
Sit back and relax
Go get Neil McMahon
While I present all the facts
So listen up
Pre - chorus:
Schapelle left her home in the Brisbane Zone for Bali Indonesia
When she arrived she didn’t have much time
Before the customs agent seized her
The tide really turned when the grass was burned
Out back in one big fire
Her human rights denied while she was tried
But I guess that one slipped by ya!
Last Ver:
Listen up Indonesia
The free wind can change fast
Before you look to your future
You need to clean up your past
When the people came together
The Berlin wall fell down
So Power to the people
Free Schapelle Corby NOW!
Chorus:
So let’s all go see the wizard
Down under in OZ
Kevin Michael don’t you run now
Cause we’ve got a cause
Do you know Schapelle Corby
Well she’s from OZ, too
John Howard was a coward
Now it’s all up to you
Let’s all go see the wizard
Down under in OZ
Schapelle can’t shake your hand man
Cause she’s behind bars
The free world is calling
And we’re gonna throw down
So make it right in Indonesia
And Free Schapelle Corby NOW!
