Lyrics

You fall asleep in a piggy hotel
On the back of 'Bleach'
And Irvine Welsh
Cause Matthew, Mark, Luke
John and Giddens fucking lied
I dig your house
It's a fucken nice home
I hear your Ma's suburban lock
And load
Is the white picket fence out
Front import Wallachian pine
I still see steeple swords
Attacking lower house law
Why haven't we cut the fucken cord
Seventeen in a Leeton high school
Taught by Rohm part time
Host playschool
What do I believe?
Why the fuck should
We have to be nice
When some among us don't
Share the same damn rights
It seems to me I don't owe no apology
The burning bin on Elizabeth Street
Pointed to a biblical defeat
The needle in the class of 1989
Nevermind the refugees in
John Howard's administration
They found their own
Karma Sutran lines
Dreadnought Maggie's
Housewife tabloids
Daughters Cleo, Dolly and Boy's Toy
Bullshit primetime 'Triumph des Willans'
Try being my colour in Cronulla
When all your friends go home
And watch 'Airport Sec'
And Kruddy-love expects
Us all to integrate
"No fucken Kashmir in my club"
"Don't make me call security, Vic Thug"
Who shoot dead teenage
Boys in local parks
Government cockknuckle contradictions
Interstate civil war mongering frictions
Julius Streicher politicians
Livin in a bedrock nation state of
Burning beds and racist sexist
Redneck arsehole population
Suicide in old sheep stations
Women with black eyes in waiting
Counter-action education
Fireballs at Frankston Station
One Nation capitulation
Lead us not in to temptation
Late night paddy wagon transportation
Sleeping in a suburban police station
And I'm sleeping
In a suburban police station
And I'm sleeping
In a suburban police station
Argh yeah yeah man
I've been arrested
Argh yeah yeah man
I've been arrested
Arrested
Arrested
