lyrics

I got no money I got no future plans
I ain’t got no innocence and I don’t understand
How we’re meant to be successful when success is always changing
And we’re meant to follow rules when we don’t trust the people making them
How do we go from A to B
When the path that leads us there is killing me
And I think these rules were made
To keep us down and to keep them safe
But if we don’t like the rules, or if we don’t find their god soon
Or if we don’t follow suit, then it’s back to hell, to hell with us
Too bad if you’re from a war-torn country
Yeah too bad if you don’t come from money
Too bad if you’re from a violent home
Just keep it quiet, coz they don’t wanna know
And they’re keeping up appearances and it’s taking all our time
And they’re wasting all our resources just to keep us all in line
So we can look impressive as a nation drawn together
And hide our bloody heritage behind our sunny weather
When in reality, we’re killing ourselves coz we’ll never be free
We’re killing each other coz we’re living in fear
That’s how they wanna keep us coz we’re easier to steer
To the Centrelink lines, then to the front lines to do the dirty work, thank it’s back
To the Centrelink lines, then to the front lines hoping that we all fall down, waiting
In the Centrelink lines, then to the front lines to do the dirty work, thank it’s back
To the Centrelink lines, then to the front lines hoping that we all fall down
Fighting someone else’s war at our own expense
Yeah it makes us look real cool in front of all our friends
Fighting someone else’s war at our own expense
Yeah it makes us look real cool in front of all our friends
But if we don’t like the rules, or if we don’t find their god soon
Or if we don’t follow suit, then it’s back to hell, to hell with us
