Don't Sue Me 03:07
I come from a land not too far from here Where the ice caps melted and ruined the atmosphere And I speak the native tongue of the deaf, dumb girls And I'm the head honcho in the land of spinning wheels And you can do whatever you want, Just don't sue me, don't do that to me And you can hope that your brothers fall, But don't sue me, please don't do that to me This just in... A cape don't make you fly You're the loudest voice 'cause someone gave you a mic And I speak to my friends through a barrister Because common sense is struggling to be heard

Dustbowl 01:49
We're not standing by the doorway Awaiting your acceptance Yeah we invited our selves in Making most of the refreshments Yeah we plug in and we turn up 120 DB There's no man behind the curtain There's no tricks up our sleeve We're from the Dustbowl, Straight outta the Mallee A drought-stricken, sunburnt reality We're from the dustbowl, Straight outta the Mallee I'm aware of what you're looking for I know that we're not it But I believe you're system is flawed So we don't give a shit We're from the dustbowl, straight outta the Mallee It's time for a dose of reality, We're from the dustbowl, straight outta the Mallee

I've got my boys in the lab working around the clock I've got a voice in my head that I wanna stop Who would've thought being bent out of shape Would wind up feeling so great You're at your best when you're on the way down You're at your best when you're on the way down I know you dig it when you're off with the clouds But you're at your best when your on the way down Climbing through my bedroom blinds Destroying six months of my life Spent 3 days staring into space and then I had to get you off the ceiling
4.
The Feds 02:09
Woke up this morning, climbed out of a hole Checked myself in for a cleansing of the soul Looked up toward the sky, hoping for some rain Soften up the cycle so we can do it all again My unanswered prayers turned up in the lost and found So how am I gonna get shit done With the feds calling around? You rise up before the sun and give 'til nothing's left You read a lot and spend wisely but still fall into debt Bindi eyes and Bathurst burr are the only things that grow And there's no point calling down the street, everything is closed
5.
Get some shuteye son, we've got a big day ahead A showdown at noon, an execution at 10 We don't rob the rich or heist the gold train But we'll take your money and your life all of the same It's all about respect, whose ground not to tread Who stays alive and who ends up dead In a green duffle bag behind the factory A burnt out car, some tyre marks and a broken city Here it comes again, that same ol' feeling The burning question, is what I'm doing right? 'Cause I look the other way For some extra pay But at the end of the day It don't feel quite right It'd make your skin crawl what gets done for 10K They know where I live, they'll be waiting there someday A quick buck is made but the price is your soul Living fast and dying young, it's the only way you go

Sink 01:49
Drop my bro off at the station, Then I headed up the Henty Got the phone call last night They said they're gonna pay me plenty But I, there's a right and there's a wrong Tell me whose side are you on You've gotta look them in the eye You've gotta smile for the camera Don't ever forget what you are Just a loser entertainer
