In Our Blood
02:40

|
It's in our water
It's in our water
In our blood
It's in our water
You wanted to make things that folks desired
That gave them joy
You wanted to solve problems, rectify
Things that annoyed
You'd always seen your mother scrubbing pots
Till she ruined her hands
Thought that you could save her from all of that
With your Teflon plan
It's in our water
It's in our water
In our blood
It's in our water
It's in our water
In our blood
You couldn't believe how the thing took off
Selling like hotcakes
Soon everybody was at the trough
Wanting PFAs
You got em in everything under the sun
Bar the kitchen sink
But then you got em in firefighting foam
And in what we drink
It's in our water
It's in our water
In our blood
It's in our water
It's in our water
In our blood
Now we've got PFAs in our blood
In every vein
And now we've got cancer in every hood
From the poisoned rain
And now your firm's paying a hefty price
But it won't suffice
Cos what you've paid out won't save the lives
Of those who've died
It's there forever
It's there forever
In the air
It's there forever
It's there forever
In the air
It's there forever
It's there forever
In the air
It's there forever
It's there forever
In the air

Plastic

We've got plastic blood in you and me
We've all gone plastic it's fantastic being PVC
You're getting thirsty and you want a sip of water
Avoiding bottles cos you've heard their plastic leaches out
You take a sip out of your metal container
It doesn't matter cos the tap's what poured the plastic out
But just pure water's poison in excess
Nobody knows how much plastic will be the lethal dose
Is any healthy? You can a guess
You've got dementia patients looking like they've overdosed
Now I've got plastic flowing through my mind
And you've got plastic pumping up your fine behind
Now we've got plastic blood in you and me
We've all gone plastic it's fantastic being PVC
You've got five bottle caps stuck in your brain
That's just enough to make a disposable plastic spoon
It's in our water even in the rain
Always collecting, you're just hoping that you'll be immune
You take a drink and it goes to your head
Straight through the membrane you've got plastic beating in your heart
No need for plastic pants with plastic legs
Your dancing's so elastic we can't tell the two apart
Now I've got plastic flowing through my mind
And you've got plastic pumping up your fine behind
Now we've got plastic blood in you and me
We've all gone plastic it's fantastic being PVC
Now I've got plastic flowing through my mind
And you've got plastic pumping up your fine behind
Now we've got plastic blood in you and me
We've all gone plastic it's fantastic being PVC
Now we're all high on polyethylene
We're all addicted it's a plastic methamphetamine
But maybe this plastic ain't what it seems
That floating garbage island? Maybe it's a plastic dream
Now I've got plastic flowing through my mind
And you've got plastic pumping up your fine behind
Now we've got plastic blood in you and me
We've all gone plastic it's fantastic being PVC
It's fantastic being PVC
It's fantastic being PVC
It's fantastic being PVC
It's fantastic being PVC

Long Dead
03:29
|
|||
|
You're long dead
You're long dead now
But not forgotten
Never forgotten to me
We grew up together Ben
Born in the same month
The same facility
You were always a special kid
Just so offensive
So brutally funny
We never stopped taking the mick
We were always laughing
At the absurdity
We would laugh so much it hurt
Our eyes would water
Closest we got to tears
You're long dead
You're long dead now
But not forgotten
Never forgotten to me
You're long dead
You're long dead now
But not forgotten
Never forgotten to me
We used to drink ourselves stupid
We were always drinking
So drunk we couldn't see
We were always off our heads
Up all night dancing
Laughing on ecstasy
We were always slamming pills
Drugged to the eyeballs
Highest we'd ever been
You would make that comical noise
Just so surreal
Still don't what know what it means
You're long dead
You're long dead now
But not forgotten
Never forgotten to me
You're long dead
You're long dead now
But not forgotten
Never forgotten to me
Then one day we found you dead
Fell from a window
Well that's the way it seemed
Your death was kinda cartoonish
Like you were laughing
Even as you left the scene
You're always haunting me at night
Cos of your strong character
Your personality
You're always coming to me in dreams
You're always coming
You're always coming to me
You're long dead
You're long dead now
But not forgotten
Never forgotten to me
You're long dead
You're long dead now
But not forgotten
Never forgotten to me

Small Dick Energy
03:02
|
|||
|
He's got moves from his chess grandmaster dad
And he's gonna pull them all on you
Get in the ring and you're gonna wish you hadn't
Cos he'll beat you black and bright blue
Six foot three and he'll strike you like a cobra
Even better if you're half his size
Take him on and your life is gonna be
Over in an instant, resistance non-existent
You know, you know, you know
He's got that small dick energy
You know, you know, you know
He's got that small dick energy
You know, you know, you know
He's got that small dick energy
You know, you know, you know
He's got that small dick energy
He's got schoolboys spreading his message for him
Looking like a Ponzi scheme
Girls are scary so they find him reassuring
They're desperate for some esteem
Got 'em slapping every girl they can get their hands on
Like the ones on his web cams
Got 'em paying for every single
Hard-on that they beat off cos he's got 'em in hock
You know, you know, you know
He's got that small dick energy
You know, you know, you know
He's got that small dick energy
You know, you know, you know
He's got that small dick energy
You know, you know, you know
He's got that small dick energy
He's gone abroad cos he says it's more corrupt there
He can get away with being a pimp
That's what he thought anyway but it seems they do care
They've hit him like a web gimp
He flaunts his cars as they risk being impounded
Tweets 'em at a climate star
Her response just makes him look
Dumbfounded like a young boy with a tiny old boy
You know, you know, you know
He's got that small dick energy
You know, you know, you know
He's got that small dick energy
You know, you know, you know
He's got that small dick energy
You know, you know, you know
He's got that small dick energy

Uppers
02:33
|
|||
|
We're dropping them uppers
To tune out your downers
Trump didn't have a hope in hell
So scrubbed the vote rolls of all non-whites
(Yeah no blacks here)
Then when Elon got on stage
He hailed the second coming of the third Reich
(That's a sieg heil)
He took his golden chainsaw out
And started slashing workers' lives
(Big DOGE cuts)
Inflation started going up
But Trump told us it's gonna be all right
(No problem)
We're dropping them uppers
To tune out your downers
We're dropping them uppers
To tune out your downers
Snoop and all the crypto bros
Threw in their lots to make a mint
(Salivating)
Bitcoin started shooting up
And left the doubters looking skint
(To the moon now)
Then it all came crashing down
Before they could even rake it in
(What a wipeout)
POTUS tried to pump it up
But it was in a tailspin
(No heartbeat)
We're dropping uppers
We won't be ever coming down
We're dropping uppers
We won't be ever coming down
We're dropping uppers
We won't be ever coming down
We're dropping uppers
We won't be ever
He started slapping tariffs on
Any country he deemed unfair
(Unbalanced)
The markets started panicking
As bulls got trampled by the bears
(What a stampede)
POTUS said it was all fine
No need for traders to be scared
(No problem)
It may be getting volatile
But that's the go with trade warfare
("Just normal")
We're dropping them uppers
To tune out your downers
We're dropping them uppers
To tune out your downers
We're dropping them uppers
To tune out your downers
We're dropping them uppers
To tune out your downers

Be Careful
03:08
|
|||
|
Every day in her small town
Racists all around
All the white kids at her school
Just want to take her down
She dreams of her escape
Walking out those gates
Never looking back again
and leaving all that hate
Be careful with what you wish for
Be careful with what you wish for
Be careful with what you wish for
Be careful
Be careful
Be careful with what you wish for
Be careful with what you wish for
Be careful with what you wish for
Be careful
Be careful
She knuckles down in class
She's gonna break the glass
Any kid that holds her back
can go and kiss her ass
She gets a uni place
All her exams aced
With this knowledge base
She's gonna win the whole rat race
Be careful with what you wish for
Be careful with what you wish for
Be careful with what you wish for
Be careful
Be careful
Be careful with what you wish for
Be careful with what you wish for
Be careful with what you wish for
Be careful
Be careful
She lands a cushy job
She's taking on the lot
Always works, she doesn't stop
She's gonna reach the top
Her love life's suffering
Her partner wants a kid
But she dumps him pretty quick
Got no time for that biz
Be careful with what you wish for
Be careful with what you wish for
Be careful with what you wish for
Be careful
Be careful
Be careful with what you wish for
Be careful with what you wish for
Be careful with what you wish for
Be careful
Be careful
She finally gets the role
Her only career goal
Now she's leading from the top
She's really on a roll
Suddenly she gets sacked
A real betrayal act
Cos when you're swimming with the sharks
You'll get stabbed in the back
Be careful with what you wish for
Be careful with what you wish for
Be careful with what you wish for
Be careful
Be careful
Be careful with what you wish for
Be careful with what you wish for
Be careful with what you wish for
Be careful
Be careful

I'll Get You
03:02
|
|||
|
I've been a fan of your music ever since I was a kid
I bought up every record that you ever released
Your music blows my mind it makes me totally flip my lid
You really don't know how much that you mean to me
I'll get you
I'll get you
I'll get my own back on you
I'll get you
I'll get you
I'll get you just you watch me
I'll get you
I'll get you
I'll get my own back on you
I'll get you
I'll get you
I'll get you just you watch me
I hung around at the stage door for hours on end
You didn't even look when I called your name
I bought the VIP ticket despite the expense
Just to show that I can play your game
I'll get you
I'll get you
I'll get my own back on you
I'll get you
I'll get you
I'll get you just you watch me
I'll get you
I'll get you
I'll get my own back on you
I'll get you
I'll get you
I'll get you just you watch me
I met you at the meet and greet and gave you my gift
You said you'd take a look at it when you got time
You didn't even hear me out, I felt dismissed
You stepped away and moved on to the next in line
(Yeah I'll get you)
(Yeah I'll get you)
(Yeah I'll get you)
(Yeah I'll get you)
(Yeah I'll get you)
(Yeah I'll get you)
(Yeah I'll get you)
(Yeah I'll get you)
I'm always looking up to you when I'm down here
You're always way up high when I'm feeling low
I don't know if my ego can take this no more
I don't know if my id can take the blow
I'll get you
I'll hit you
You won't know what has hit you
I'll get you
I'll hit you
You won't know what has hit you
I'll get you
I'll hit you
You won't know what has hit you
I'll get you
I'll hit you
You won't know what has hit you

CSG
02:43
|
|||
|
They've got us drinking CSG
Poisoning our water
Can't escape the onslaught
It's fucking up you and me
Salinating land
While they all take a handout
They've got you burning CSG
Don't wanna go solar
Got to control it
They're crooked to the enth degree
Talking up a shortage
Cos they wanna rort it
They've got em passing CSG
Grooming all the MPs
Keeping them a board seat
They've paid em off so they don't see
The great artesian basin's
poisoning the nation
They've got us buying CSG
Calling it a green fuel
Cos they've got us all fooled
If only it was all a dream
They've caught us in a nightmare
Endless fucking hot air
They've got us breathing CSG
Sucking in the toxins
Oxygen dioxins
The danger's there for all to see
Can't be cooking with gas
No one's wanting cancer
They can't stop drilling CSG
Greedy for more methane
Even though it's insane
The waste water's a poisoned sea
Shouldn't be extracted
Cos it's radioactive
They're tryna promote CSG
Talking up employment
Wanting you to join em
Do they really not foresee
No one'll be having
Jobs on a dead planet
Now they're lying about CSG
Tap water can be lit
No one can unsee it
They're stamping out corroborees
Ignoring first nations
Cos they fucking hate em

Coming Up
02:51
|

|
I'm coming up
Yeah, never coming down
You were always telling me I couldn't do that
It'd be the death of me
I was always telling you get off my back
I knew my limits, always looking healthy
So I'd get up and I'd take a few hits
Just to get me through
Ain't nothing wrong with being a misfit
When there's nothing in this world that's worth fitting into
Yeah, I'm coming up
Yeah, never coming down
Yeah, I'm coming up
Yeah, never coming down
Yeah, just one smoke away, yeah
Just one toke away, yeah
Just one drink away, yeah
Just one pill away, yeah
Just one hit away, yeah
Just one shot away, yeah
Just one step away, yeah
Just one slip away
You put me in a rehab cos I fell
Took one too many pills
It took me years of therapeutic hell
To get my head together, stop seeking those cheap thrills
Now I get out of it by cycling for hours
Soaking up the heat
I'm just one slip away from wiping out
Just giving up the fight cos addicts know it can't be beat
I'm coming up
Yeah, never coming down
Yeah, I'm coming up
Yeah, never coming down
Yeah, I'm coming up
Yeah, never coming down
Yeah, I'm coming up
Yeah, never coming down
You were always telling me I couldn't do that
It'd be the death of me

This is the evolution of a dog walker
The strays are howling for ya
You wanna dog that makes you look good
One to show off round your neighbourhood
One that makes all your neighbours smile
Cos you wanna get status, show em that you've got style
What you're getting depends on some things
Like the cachet that its character brings
Whether it's cute or got a fearsome sneer
Cos it's all about fitting in among your dog peers
This is the evolution of a dog walker
This is the evolution of a dog walker
The strays are howling for ya
If you're going cute you'll wanna chihuahua
One to put on Insta, make your friends go gaga
All the better if it fits in your handbag
And doesn't shed hairs to mess up your glad rags
Wanna go one better get yourself a pug
Cos they're trending like the latest drug
They always raise a laugh with their problems breathing
The heavier the pant the more selective the breeding
This is the evolution of a dog walker
This is the evolution of a dog walker
The strays are howling for ya
Wanna go fierce get a bull terrier
When it comes to being tough nothing's scarier
They've got a good rep for getting out of control
Get a pitbull if you want the highest death toll
You want real status then go real expensive
Top dog for being posh is a Tibetan Mastiff
Just one step down is a French bulldog
It's the easiest option if you wanna flash dosh
This is the evolution of a dog walker
This is the evolution of a dog walker
The strays are howling for ya
Wanna show you're clever then a poodle's the go
You can teach em neat tricks make em put on a show
Wanna go one better then a Collie's a must
But if you don't like walking dogs then you're gonna be stuffed
You really wanna show that you got brains?
Leave the pedigrees alone and adopt a stray
Cos man's best friend usually gets disowned
Yeah only one in 10 enjoys a permanent home
This is the evolution of a dog walker
This is the evolution of a dog walker
The strays are howling for ya

Waiting For The Sunshine
02:42

Waiting for the sunshine
Just waiting, waiting for the sunshine
Waiting for the sunshine
Just waiting, waiting for the sunshine
Yeah I'm waiting for the sunshine
Don't feel like it's ever gonna be fine
When the black smoke's got us all confined
As the fires jump contain lines
Do you think we're gonna be all right
When the midday sky's looking like night
With black smoke blocking all the sunlight
Cos sparks are setting homes alight
They've got us waiting for the sunshine
It's all being burnt by design
Corporations have got em aligned
They're tyna boost bottom lines
Looks like we're gonna lose this fight
When the odds are stacked to the far right
And our rulers are taking delight
In finding more to ignite
Waiting for the sunshine
Yeah waiting, waiting for the sunshine
Waiting for the sunshine
Just waiting, waiting for the sunshine
Waiting for the sunshine
We're all waiting, waiting for the sunshine
Waiting for the sunshine
Yeah, come on, let's go
Yeah they're blocking out the sun
And it looks like we're done
Cos it's all one massive punt
The earth's a giant hedge fund
And there's nowhere to run
Cos it's all far from begun
The battle's nearly been won
Yeah it's all coming undone
Yeah they're blocking out the sun
And it looks like we're done
Cos it's all one massive punt
The earth's a giant hedge fund
And there's nowhere to run
Cos it's all far from begun
The battle's nearly been won
Yeah it's all coming undone
Yeah I'm waiting for the sunshine
With a hope that I'm gonna see some sign
That we're not gonna be burnt alive
As we come to fight on the frontline
Yeah it seems like we're being denied
The most basic right to a life
And when you're standing on this side
You're looking like a knife in a gunfight
Waiting for the sunshine
Just waiting, waiting on the sunshine
Waiting for the sunshine
Yeah waiting, waiting on the sunshine
Waiting for the sunshine
We're all waiting, waiting on the sunshine
Waiting for the sunshine
Yeah, come on, let's go
Yeah they're blocking out the sun
And it looks like we're done
Cos it's all one massive punt
The earth's a giant hedge fund
And there's nowhere to run
Cos it's all far from begun
The battle's nearly been won
Yeah it's all coming undone
Yeah they're blocking out the sun
And it looks like we're done
Cos it's all one massive punt
The earth's a giant hedge fund
And there's nowhere to run
Cos it's all far from begun
The battle's nearly been won
Yeah it's all coming undone
