Edward Moses ("Eddie") Obeid (born 25 October 1943), a former Australian politician and a dual Lebanese–Australian citizen, was a member of the New South Wales Legislative Council who served between 1991 and 2011, representing the Australian Labor Party. He was the Minister for Fisheries and the Minister for Mineral Resources from 1999–2003. Prior to the March 2015 expiry of his term in the Legislative Council, Obeid announced his decision to retire early on 10 May 2011, citing family reasons.
During his parliamentary career, Obeid was considered by many to be a "power broker" in the New South Wales Labor Party, belonging to the dominant right-wing sub-faction, often referred to as The Terrigals, so named as its inaugural meeting was held at Obeid's beach house in Terrigal. It was reported that Obeid might retire at the 2011 state election, prior to the expiry of his term, however he waited until the election was concluded. Obeid, who joined the Labor Party in 1972, had his membership of the party terminated in 2013 for bringing the party into disrepute.
THIS WILL BE THE END OF YOU!
(Ladies and gentlemen, friends and foe’s,
this song goes out to all you fucking quitters out there)
How dare you stare at the ground when you
don’t even know which direction to go?
Are you really that anxious to drift life away,
and just give up on yourself?
You better dance to the beat of living.
Start taking control and take care of yourself.
Reach out for help if you’re falling,
We're in this together.
You’re in this alone.
Don't be proud enough to reach out for help.
She's on fire but her embers burn her bridges.
And she knows that she can’t walk on water.
Yet she tries.
For what is worse than to ask your friends for help.
And so she sinks to the bottom of the sea.
Burn out the eyes of the traitors face.
They have told their final line.
They have told their final line.
One more time we'll throw down our fucking fists.
To anyone who stand against us.
To anyone who disagree.
Stop chasing your shadow. You're in this alone.
You need to fight until your heart stops beating.
Don’t think for a second that you will be saved.
Hands down. It's over.
This is the end of everything.
And sure as hell i’m taking you with it.
I rather die with blood on my hands,
if my conscious is clean and my heart's been beating pure.
For what is living if you've already dead?
She's on fire but her embers burn her bridges.
And she knows that she can’t walk on water.
Yet she tries.
For what is worse than to ask your friends for help.
And so she sinks to the bottom of the sea.
We’re swimming and sinking,
We’re running and falling,
We’re breathing, not living,
We’re crashing down!
We hold the answers in our hearts
as we been singing times before.
We spend every breath to stand our ground
