Brisbane (Security City) [2004 Remaster]

Thirteen hot nights in a row

The cops drive past, but they move slow

A million people stayin' low

With mangoes ripe, who needs to grow?

I don't want to let down

My own hopes for this town

It's so hard to get around

Lots of cars, but not much sound in town

Lots of junk on the radio

Just take a look, then you will know

I start to feel I'm being used

In a scheme that's been hidden from the public view

I don't want to let down

My own hopes for this town

It's so hard to get around

Lots of cars, but not much sound in town

It's almost guarded by the sea

Our prison island is not free

Our hope goes, but it's still there

It doesn't alter if you stare

Living room isolation

Extraordinary situation

I see police, but where's the crime?

We're just like convicts doing time

Thirteen hot nights in a row

The cops drive past, and they move slow

I start to feel I'm being used

In some scheme that's been hidden from the public view

I don't want to let down

My own hopes for this town

It's so hard to get around

Lots of cars, but not much sound in town
