lyrics

SAY I'M GOOD

This is for those inbetweeners
who don't follow no one, follow no leaders
follow no trend or the sheep that are led
Follow no fool, never fall in step
I am not another voice in the choir
kicking out jams or the party line
No. I am not your poster child
Do my own thing in my own damn style
I would never assume to talk on the behalf of anybody but myself
when I see anybody on a soapbox all I hear are the warning bells
and even if we're on the same side, I don't follow blind, I am not that guy
and those pigeon holes are only made to hold the kind of bird that's afraid to fly

They say, say, say I'm Good
I'm rocking like I should
I'm doing thing, thing, thing, thing, things You only wish you could
You only wish you could
You only, only, only, only ever wish you could

This morning on the internet
I discovered our destruction's imminent
so we all get to act uninhibited
take two of these and relax with a cigarette
aw naw, here come the idiots, the oblivious
and the militant bigots and affiliates
scared of the boats and the gays and the blacks pulling quotes from leviticus
here come the cause and effect of a country caught up in patriotic bullshit
and I don't fit and I don't care
I'm a square peg in a round hole here
in the cross hairs I'm a bit weird
and it's not fair and it's not clear
so the whinger's whinge and I cringe inside
when they simplify things that are complex,

They say, say, say I'm Good
I'm rocking like I should
I'm doing thing, thing, thing, thing, things You only wish you could
You only wish you could
You only, only, only, only ever wish you could

It ain't my fault, I got no love
I'm at a pub complaining how this country sux
I'm an oddball, on the wrong team
all my friends are out of step with the mainstream and the nightmare is in full swing
and the right wing are fucking up the whole thing and it might be this stifling freightening feeling
is really only felt on the fringes
but I doubt it, I re-route it
dope with a beat I need to speak about it
for the kids of the labour left
who got a bone to pick
we didn't vote for that fuck stick
I don't dig the kid, I don't kick the kid
I don't think it'd change if you made the switch
I don't dig the kid, I don't kick the kid
I don't think it'd change if you made the switch
I don't dig the kid, I don't kick the kid
I don't think it'd change if you made the switch
I don't buy the bullshit dreams of an aspirationalist modern Australia
