It's on the world today
The darkie's ruined our holiday
The Bin Laden's the Clampett's too
Naming oil tankers after you
Babe I know you learnt long ago
A wealth man dicks an idle hoe
He calls to his wife all sad and pissed
You loved me why has it come to this
And they touch and spark but the law it crys
You can do what you want but you won't get inside
Just shut up and pay me
You won't get inside
So homeboy put your gun away
The man's green and the sun is grey
On and on how the story goes
Wealthy men dick an idle hoes
So breathe out and let it in
Are you going to sink or are you going to swim
Cos right here is where it's chose
Where the wealthy men dick the idle hoes
In the desert he screams up into the sky
With blood on his hands while his children die
He had his chance everybody knows
Wealthy men dick the idle hoes

I'm On The Run

The kids are all crazy and the moon is low
The parents are whining in lines and rows
If you're talking about dreams man
I'm numb and slack
I drag them to work then I drag 'em back
I'm on the run
and I like to drink beer
I'm my father's son
Be a man, drink it down they say
The crowd are all chanting US of A
The real world it howls at me to pull up the slack
I fall into line but sometimes I howl back
I'm on the run
and I like to drink beer
I'm my fathers son
Let's push this too far
Are you ready to attack
This is what we live for
If you move I'll watch your back
So girls if you want me christ let me know
If you don't you'll be waiting 'cos christ I'm slow
and guys lend your ear to me
Before we part
Keep your mind open
and don't take shit to heart
I'm on the run
and I like to drink beer
I'm my father's son

Hectic City Blues

The morning found me aching
Shot from pils and booze
I guess there's no mistaking
I've got to pay my dues
The sun come up like a burden
From the ground
and forced me to start a new
That night I had been dreaming
About my old mate Peter Hughes
Under satellites beaming
I'd wondered how he kept his soulful views
and he said
I've been around the world son
and what I've found
In the end it's all up to you and
I shook his hand and drank a pot of beer
and vowed to push on through
Working in the city
Talking on the phone
To the billboards I was screaming
Leave the working man alone
How can you say you're out
For the good of all
When you're way too concerned
About your own and
With a beaten heart and
A head full of ideas
I went and caught the tram home
With the hectic fuckin' city blues

Clancy's Lament

You gave me hip hop and willie nelson
So in some ways I'd call you my friend
But if you expect me to swallow and smile
I tell you 'that's where our friendship ends'
You melt down my borders 'til I need on protection
From your celebrity tongue and you're superman smile
I'm young I'm bored and I'm ready
Let's get them missles into the sky
Fuck me now USA
Together we'll teach all the children
That their lord's on your side
That they're here to believe and not to question
and only power can fill you with pride
Babe to shout it won't bring you no comfort
Believe me noone wants to hear
So you take your prozac and think of your figure
and I'll talk bullshit and suck on a beer
Fuck me now USA
and while the poor strap bombs on their children
and the oil fields burn to the sea
Believe all the crap that you're fed by your leaders
and vote them back in with a mandate majority
For me babe the light don't shine that much brighter
I need you when I'm bored lonely or pissed
So I'm young and I'm bored and I'm ready
Bend me over and jam in your fist
Fuck me now USA
my arse is winking at you
Gallery on pink galahs
Late nights in North Melbourne bars
The broken river looking up at stars
That's my home
Land of gum trees in the sun
Fuck the yanks their time will come
But it breaks your heart to see us coming undone
It breaks your heart
