I can hear the crowd roaring From the Paddington end Blowing up from the hills now On a warm west wind There was a blood moon in a pinkish sky Once in a lifetime, wake in fright Punters had voted through nine to five Made a (warning) Shane Warne bet on the meaning of life Soon to be camping at the water's edge Back where it all began, crawling out slimy Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Across the mountain, the weathermen prayed Their private universe melting away Led by the ignorant, a habit of life Father, son, mother, daughter wake in fright Gaia Mother, why can't they hear you, see you?

Love you, feel you, revere you? Philosopher Father, they sent in the clowns In the malls and the churches, everybody's down There are limits to growth, but no limits to envy Big-bigger bust in the land of Pretend Plenty Pretending plenty
