well preparing for a scene where it might not be alright
is your hair greased back are your jeans on too tight?
you are bound to come across some people you won't like
so don't go out in Newcastle you'll get into a fight
no need for bus or train, we'll do laps all night
your Commodore replaced your brain, your mates say 'allright'
you are bound to do no good you'll set something alight
so don't go out in Newcastle you'll get into a fight

Fuck the politically minded, here's something I want to say,
About the state of nation, the way it treats us today.
At school they give you shit, drop you in the pit,
You try, you try, you try to get out, but you can't because they've fucked you about.
Then you're a prime example of how they must not be,
This is just a sample of what they've done to you and me.
Do they owe us a living?
Of course they do, of course they do.
Owe us a living?
Of course they do, of course they do.
Owe us a living?
OF COURSE THEY FUCKING DO.
Don't want me anymore, 'cause I threw it on the floor.
Used to call me sweet thing, I'm nobody's plaything,
And now that I am different, 'd love to bust my head,
You'd love to see me cop-out, 'd love to see me dead.
Do they owe us a living?
Of course they do, of course they do.
Owe us a living?
Of course they do, of course they do.
Owe us a living?
OF COURSE THEY FUCKING DO.
The living that is owed to me I'm never going to get,
They've buggered this old world up, up to their necks in dept.
They'd give you a lobotomy for something you ain't done,
They'll make you an epitomy of everything that's wrong.
Do they owe us a living?
Of course they do, of course they do.
Owe us a living?
Of course they do, of course they do.
Owe us a living?
OF COURSE THEY FUCKING DO.
Don't take any notice of what the public think,
They're so hyped up with T.V., they just don't want to think.
They'll use you as a target for demands and for advice,
When you don't want to hear it they'll say you're full of vice.
Do they owe us a living?
Of course they do, of course they do.
Owe us a living?
Of course they do, of course they do.
Owe us a living?
OF COURSE THEY FUCKING DO.

The tired workers. Marching, carrying the load

Well take a look
what we have here a pathetic sample of
a humane race
a derelict, an IQ bandit
we'll deal with it now
just watch this space
Help is just interference, interference with a smiling face
as we turn to exhibit 'B'
an animal extinction
habitat replaced
we all care for the environment
especially when it has a cute cuddly face
Help is just interference, interference with a smiling face

the funneh thing about it
you always end up on your knees
now you think about it
too late you voted, no more "please"
too many doubts about it
you always wake up on your knees
too late to shout about it

what you want aint what you need so your life is lived on your knees

No cuts to unis
No cuts to pensions
No cuts to health
No promise mentioned
Hiding his past
Torn from the page
Of Uni 'paper
Punched wall in rage
You've got reasons
For your unreason
Take me outside
Punch me in head
Excused all seasons
Would be a treason
But you're still a pom
Big up for mining
Despite the science
Ruling for Murdoch
With full compliance
Bipedal rat
With monkey ears
Won't serve a full term
Once we all hear
You've got reasons
For your unreason
Take me outside
Punch me in head
Covered in lesions
Rabbit hunting season
Cos you're still a pom

Pulling on the ugg boots they
Don't have any laces they
Were made in Astraya we
Invented the word
They're Strayan as Merino and
Donny Bradman's willow and
More than all-weather you
Could step in a turd
Everything and every place
Has its identity, it's own space
When you go and misappropriate
Your meaning can get stuck in the mud
Winter in Astraya it
Doesn't get too cold but we
Like to keep our feet warm with
The skin of the lamb
Wear them in or outdoors they
Will adapt to your cause they
Fit too well to take off, it's like your
Feet in a pram
When cheese is sparkling wine and apple pie is aping you
You know that everything's a knockoff
And no product's really true

everyone was there with their forks in the air
is it really alright to eat the grill now?
munchin on down like they just don't care
singing: is it alright to eat the grill now

everybody's spitting the sinews and they're talkin revolution at work, gonna read about it
x2
no - the time ain't now, we've run on out of meat
the feeling: hunger never abates
so - slay holy cow, species we will defeat
the moment: lost and the end of days
everybody's ripping the flesh yeah there's no time now to go to work and they're pissed about it
everybody's splitting the sin-food and they're takin evolution at word, gonna read about it
x2
so - there's no more cow, we've run on out of meat
they're reeling, munching never again
no - no more flesh how - we're ever gonna eat
the portent, cost and blood fills the bays
They know the murder is meat x4

This is the time
It's the crime
We'll be speedcar riding, cliff declining
When it's the end
Never mend
We're all done deciding, no denying
They won't replace
Close the case
All a lost cause hiding, it's unwinding
Now it won't mend
Bank won't lend
We've all lost our timing, world is crying
The thing's at it's limits, the world's at its end
There's no time for prayer, no invoice to send
The curtain is falling, no time for applause
There's nothing to fight for, no justified cause
When won't depend
Machine won't send
There are no trades plying, world a frying
Say it today
Games they play
There are warplanes flying, babies crying
Your life is through
No more you
Their bombs are falling, medics crawling
Why would you try?
God would cry
There be starving, craving, no one's saving
The machine is busted, the levers are bent
There's no nothing, no income to pay any rent
The shelves are all bare and there's nothing to eat
And then we all die while the world's on repeat

[v1]
An exfiltrated sample mix
An excited lab scientist
A wavering flame, the Bunsen burns
The sample held and slowly turns
They're cooking up some secret brew
Innoculation for the flu
The funding's in, the money spent
The Government, they pay the rent
[ch]
And it's there
Everybody knows where
They acid test the Kool Aid
Everybody goes spare
[v2]
They're voting in the Election
To get some lead and direction
Four years lost in raging seas
Capped by infection with disease
Result unsure, it's off to court
Another controversy to report
Months and years go by and then
They expect you to go vote again
[ch]
And it's there
Everybody knows where
They acid test the Kool Aid
Everybody goes spare

Front of the line it ain't time to unwind
You've gotta maintain the scene of the crime
It ain't mine you'll find as you grind orange rind
Peeling back the layers, citric lemon and lime
It's free, you've gotta let it be
No matter who can see
It's time for that certain breakthrough
We'll leave behind and deceive
They'll never conceive
The mud that no one will rake through
Through the turnstiles all the while cycles pile
You've got a mountain, a shiny metal mile
It ain't mine, you'll rhyme another time as we find
No resistance, no loss, no acts in kind

Can't find the fake tool
So you try to use a made fool
Always running at points on the horizon cos you
Gotta be with all them too
Scanning time's all that matters
To all the mad hatters
Gonna be the disease that breaks you
Can't be an old fix
So you need some new tricks
Never catching the shadows in the dust cos you
Gotta be with them all mixed

I can't roll the dice, tried to twice
Your new dimension fits, listen in
Can't be told - not to live in it
For a bit, hurry quick
You were waiting there in the air
Couldn't hold your breath, I detest
Asked your friends, take you where?
Always so unfair, your evil glare
--------
v2:
01:08 [bar 25]
Wearing what you liked, favourite dress
Nooooo-body there but us knew
Bouyant there, being everywhere
Trinkets were left for you
People we - met and left never knew
Cakes and steaks, beer and flakes - never could
High grace like there's no rat-race
Lovers see, greet the chosen few

People are just worked like clay, vote for rorters who let sharks have the final say
Your humanity, they fight it
03:17 [bar 70]
Happens everyday but hey, no one noticed, they're hiding it so far awayyyyy
You won't hear them speak, they're quiet [silenced]
Turning boats away but hey, no opposition, they always stay out of the wayyyy
Life of hopelessness and violence
03:40 [bar 78]
Between here and now / There is something
Rule with fear and clout / Always gunning
Leaving little doubt / Always holding
Back - all the facts
Climate facts
Between then and now / Debt has doubled
Not an issue now / Was never trouble
Press won't mention how / Always holding
Back - all the facts
Eating is taxed
Facts are just attacked / It's all a story
Born to rule in self / -annointed glory
Blood and war their game / Love it gory
There's no sense or rhyme,
there's no reason
There's no sense or rhyme, there's no reason
There's no sense or rhyme, there's no reason
There's no sense or rhyme, there's no reason

Join the army, join the navy, join the air force, marines maybe
Fly a jet, blow up a tank, you'll wade thru mud, die for a Yank
We're all so afflicted
Too much fun, we're addicted
It's all about - your nation's hour of need
It's all about - dirty oil and greed
Don't wanna talk about - all the trouble you've seen
If you were meant to go much further
We'd delay the time of murder
I'm affected, your effect
Lest we forget it's true
Let's talk dirty, let's talk babies, let's talk disease, scabies, rabies
Got a treatment, got a cure, you've had a jab, you will endure
Paging for assistance
Immunity, resistance
It's all about - the sowing of seed
It's all about - on who's cross do we bleed
Don't wanna talk about - that shit that you've seen
If we were meant to go much further
They'd arrange a different murder
Misdirected, stress perfect
Lest We Forget - it's True

Blue Monster's Bad Day
02:15

|

[00:03]
You've heard, I spose, about a turd that goes
'round as the leader of the band
He eats the poor, always wants some more
He never had a weight loss plan
But what he's got is a big blue dot
Half the band are set against him
He's a monster, sure, with no heart at its core
Watch them give his chin a trim
[00:22]
Red blood, blue vein
Sociopath, insane
Some win, most lose
Still bleeding and so bruised
[00:35]
We don't have much time to dress the wound and burst the blister
Quick we have to dig the cyst out
[00:40]
Now it's time to operate, get the knife and penetrate
Cotton wool, cotton wool; Dab the bleeding out
[00:48]
Blue tie stained
Monster slain
[01:00]
Now it's time for autopsy, stretch ribs open have a see
Get a tray, get a tray; Catch what's spilling out
[01:25]
The monster's on the table leaking fluids, leaking blister
Slowly it will bleed itself out
[01:31]
Now it's time to sew it up, pack it back and wrap it up
Ready for, ready for; The family's coming out
[01:50]
Now it's time to show the dead. Monster's got a crooked head
Push it back, push it back; We left it's liver out
[01:56]
So now you know about the turd that went
Around as the leader of the band
He was a monster all along
He was part of a larger plan
His family, such a tragedy
Never knew his real ID
But we kicked him out, he's got no clout
Now he lives in the mortuary
