lyrics

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
