Lyrics

Alright this one’s called Powerball.
Thursday morning, dead horse flogging
Driving trucks and weekend longing
Just been to Nashville, not like that at all
But it does sound good over a one and a four chord
Oowee
Pass a truck full of pigs and I think about dying,
The bosses keep bossing and the work keeps piling
A woman passes and she’s reassuring,
She says powerball tonight, one hundred million.
So I call up my baby and she buys us a ticket,
Says there’s a song in that and this time I agree with it
You’ve gotta be careful not to let all those through though
Remember I’m the expert here mate, not you.
Not that you’d know it from the money it earns me,
Nah not that you’d know it from the jobs I’m working,
But I think I know it and I think that’s fine,
200 more kilos of premium sushi rice.
Mmm mmm
It’s not lost on me
It’s not lost on me
It’s not lost on me
It’s not lost on me
Powerball one hundred million
But I’ve quit that job now cause it fucked my back
Like hard drugs can’t drive fucked my back
But it paid for the last album, so I guess that’s something
Takes so much money to get one of these done
Now this time around I’m just selling my shit
And lying to the government for some Centrelink bits
Sent them everything I’ve got plus the kitchen sink
As far as I know they don’t check song lyrics
Sold my first guitar, fifty bucks
Took off the green day stickers, boy it sucked
Sold a bunch of records I don’t play anymore
And justice for all and Jet’s Get Born
Sam sent me through all our streaming earnings
I’m applying for grants but it just ain’t working
Not as bad as a sharp stick to the eye
That’s independent albums in 2025
So we’ll put this one out and around we’ll go
Like a powerball number, like a dog on show
Like a neurosurgeon to a big slipped disc
Like Richo passion post goal just missed
Like a stallion, a Camry, like a fire raging
Like Ryan to history, like my eyes to a vape,
Like a phone recording cause you can’t leave the home,
Like me to you when I’m all alone,
But hey I’ve got my band and I love them dearly
And we’ll play a few shows, feel all the feelings
If we’re lucky this time we might even get to Brisbane
Powerball tonight, one hundred million
It’s not lost on me
It’s not lost on me
It’s not lost on me
It’s not lost on me
Powerball one hundred million
Powerball one hundred million
Powerball one hundred million
Powerball one hundred million
Thursday morning, dead horse kicking,
Albums out and I’ve got my ticket
Oowee
