FCK punk

Two three four five six
Seven eight nine eight
Seven six five four
Two one and three
I would like to take back
Nothing I did or said
I was right and I know it
Hey you must not know 'bout me
I was ready to give up on everything
For the dreams that you’d see
Which did not see me
Luckily you fucked it
Now I can see it
The ways you lie to stay in safety
Please don’t count on me
To be silent, not quiet
That won’t be me
By the weekdays you made yourself
The voice of punk, now you call out
Poor kids for selling out
Weekends at your parent's house
All you do is talk shit on who's done wrong
No compassion
Use your privilege to build divisions
On which you can hold the crown
FCK punk if that's what it's become
And you’ll probably rag on me too
For faking hip hop
It's true
If anyone's gonna tell me
What it is to steal the hardship of somebody
As a tool to look cool
Well I really think that
That person
Should be
You

Make My Own Luck
02:35
|

I paid a therapist one eighty bucks an hour
Just to tell me I could be angry?
10 years of nightmares
He locked me out the house
Last night I dreamed
I burned down his house
With him still in, still locked in it
Yeah let's do it
Yeah let's do it
First job, six bucks an hour don’t pay rent
Boss says that's just what teen girls get
Still I begged for advice like
"Do I sound good? Do you like it?"
An eagle asked a vulture for a ticket
Meritocracy? You fucking know it's not
Cause we’d be on top
Funny how my insecure stopped as soon as I got a new job
Now I'm the bitch that's in business
One hundred an hour
I'm in business
Used to feel love real well, now I know
The smell of betrayal
The way the wind blows
Just another burnt bitch
Watch me clock this
As a capitalist
Narcissist
Narcissist
Narcissist?
A pragmatist
When all you middle classes fuckers get the courage up
To rise up I’ll be right there with you
But until then
You can shut the fuck up
I'm tired being the one with the neck out
Now I got a lay of the land I see
The high road leads off a cliff but at least
On the ground beneath is where you meet the people
You’d build the best resistance with
Nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah nah
I say I need space, you spitfire
20 texts an hour that you want me
I know you want me, cause I’m want worthy
But what's your wanting gonna do for me?
Now If I'm the most fucked bitch you've seen
Then why you tryna get so close to me?
I'm a king , you want in?
There are rules to the kingdom
Talk shit on me, you're cut
Talk shit on my friends you're cut
Talk shit full stop?
Shut the fuck up
I need to make my own luck
I need to make
Make my own luck
I'm gonna make my own luck

Masculine
02:43
|

(I got a gun
I got a gun yeah
It saved me more than once)
I'm uncompromising
You wanna take this weapon
To sneak me a ticket in, a club
With all these bougie fucks
So used to being loved
Known you for like 3 months
Dad had ten year colours in the Vigilantes Club
Friday nights those boys get drunk, beat their wives
Seen one dragged out by her hair
You think I’m gonna grow out mine yeah?
Uptown girls live in uptown worlds
Where folks talk their hurt and are heard
And a little cuddle too
I came along needing nothing from you
Think thats cool?
Riding an avalanche of "fuck you"s?
I made myself nothing to no one
Don’t know how to suck up
It's gotta be your way or none when you trust no one
I got a gun
I got a gun, yeah
Masculine, masculine
Driving fast in
My brother's car
Drunk on Woodstock and vodka
Shot glass
They say shot it fast
Vomit in the front yard now
Stand up sit down
You're arse
The lesson's done
This is class
This is class
I got a gun
I got a gun, yeah
Masculine, masculine
You got the nicest eyes
We keep having fights
I see the sky in your eyes
We keep having fights
I got hope in your eyes
We keep having fights
I got a gun
I got a gun, yeah
Masculine, masculine

Eye for the feeling
03:02
|

You're at the party or you’re chasing it
Looking at her like she's possessing it
Keys to a private jet
Instead I've seen what you get
Is a storage unit
The things you thought you’d love in it
I want, I want, I want
I want nothing
Call it depression
I know you know nothing
I've seen you here always chasing
Bootstraps
Tarmac
I got my shit to run
I got my shit to run yeah
I got eye for the feeling
Aww look, you call me up, you miss me now, like what?
I’m not your shrink lose my number, like what?
Thats right, I’m done being so polite
You got nothin' for me now the party's wound up
Keep your come down to yourself, oh like
You just thought I was good for your health
I knew you were a run of thought without reflection
You freaked out in the rooms of imperfection
And Nietsche wished for suffering upon his friends
But for you I wish that you stay sleeping
Hush, I will not wake you, hush
I will not wake you, hush
You turned your back now act so surprised
At how mean I’ve gotten
I was out of sight and turned to diamond like
Crushed and cut, now guess what?
I’m hanging up
Bootstraps
Tarmac
I got my shit to run
I got my shit to run yeah
I got eye for the feeling
I got eye
I got eye
I got eye for the feeling
We can’t afford to lose no more like
Powerful people got big from their takings and
I don’t feel noble when my lucks run out
The times run out
My hopes are holding
Out for the ones who've got my back
I'm out for the ones who've got my back
I'm out for the ones who've got my back
I got eye for the feeling
I got eye
I got eye
I got eye for the feeling

Gold (interlude)
02:17
|

Saw me cascading
A vessel of skin in
This lesson
I'm pounding the floor and praying
God knows this regret
It's bullshit, we’re perfect
Like have you see the sun paint shapes
On cranes from the west
Try test me, I bend with
A secret in fist like like
I flew the deserts with
Gold held in my chest
I did deserts
Kept the gold in my chest
I did deserts
Kept the gold in my chest
I did deserts
Kept the gold in my chest
I did deserts
Kept the gold in my chest

Fighting On
04:05
|
|||
Yeah I'm more loyal then I let on
These days it feels like a sickness
Still thinking about my friends from high school
How they’re getting on
I hope they’re getting on
And keep fighting on
Keep fighting on
Keep fighting on
We’d sneak out just to sleep at bus stops together
Gather cardboard to stay warm, that Melbourne winter
The most liveable city in the world
If you own a safe home to go to
Bedroom doors got no locks, I won’t stop
Fighting, I can’t stop
My God, keep me strong
To Keep fighting on
Keep fighting on
Keep fighting on
There were nine of us all up, real misfits
The school bus went home east, but us
We got the public bus
Out west, just us and only 2 of us
Made it to graduation, I got runner up Dux
Worked hard moved to the city, made some money and met up
With them
Just be told to shut up
Cause they resent me
And that's alright, sometimes I resent me too
Running around, sniffing out every single hook up
I don’t sleep at night, even my ex-wife
Said that I was a rat
Yeah she knows me and she knows where it's at
She left me for a better hustle
You go girl, you gotta go
Gotta go, gotta get what you can
We gotta navigate, we gotta go and get what we can
Gotta go, gotta go, gotta get what we
Keep fighting on
Keep fighting on
Keep fighting on
Now I laugh when I hear about mindfulness class
Something to help the rich kids to live in the moment
While poor kids got to escape
The moments that they're stuck in
If the rich kids got such a hard time
Losing their shit, that's what they get
For owning so damn much of it
That's a joke and if you’re not laughing
That's cause the joke's on you
Woohoo, what's up?
I'm sure that laugh's gonna bite me on the arse
Make me lose the show, keep me off the radio
Whatever, it doesn’t matter
It doesn't matter
Keep fighting on
Keep fighting on
Keep fighting on
Now this fan says he’d do anything
For a voice like mine, alright
First you get beat up by boys twice your size
Mix that in with adults sayin' it never happened
Then bury your head in books
For some kind of redemption
Find out when school's out
It don't matter how smart you are
If you're 5 foot with tits, people tell you how it is
Yeah, you want a voice like mine?
Just be voiceless for 29 years, yeah
29 years
I'm coming up
I'll be there in 20
Keep fighting on
Keep fighting on
Keep fighting on
Keep fighting on
Keep fighting on
Keep fighting on

I FCKed up
02:46
|
|||
Light like I’s strong as bamboo
Who's that talking with you?
Where you going, with who
Can I blame?
For seasons and why
Can I not persuade
The rivers from receding
Or just your needs from existing
A hunter now with no hunger
A house without cover
A ship with no anchor
Drifting on to some other
And I oughtta wish you luck
Ueah I fcked up
I fcked up
I fcked up
Hey, remember that big speech that guy gave
And we all had to be quiet
And we breathe through our eyes when our eyes met?
It's like that
Remember that gap in the sentence, they filled it
Remember that farm horizon, it went corporate
And concrete trucks poured through the night while I’s sleeping
And when I awoke you had buried your feelings
Armies paint themselves red to kill blue like
I’m so over you, even that's feeling, too
Didactic, too vulnerable
Pull it back 'til there’s no one left around you
Tell me who is left to blame tell me who
Is left to blame tell me who
Is left to blame, tell me who, come on who
Is left to blame, just tell me who
And I’ll get em for you
Just tell me who
Tell me who
And I’ll get em for you

Could You Be Anyone
03:34
|

Take your time
I’ll wait right here
Take your time
Let it sink in
I say you’re not listening
You say I am saying nothing
How am I meant to explain
This is so damn exhausting
The middle of the night your skin
Is sinking in to my skin
Arghhh ah ah ah
Could you be anyone?
Could you be anyone?
One year so lonely I got talking to God
And when you showed up I’s like "oh my god oh my god"
A major player with your soldiers lined up
You like power and I was like
"Can I show you something a little softer"
You gone gobbled it up
I’m looking in the mirror lately and all I see
Are the lines and the crosses and the black under my eyes
Feeling all used up
Feeling all used up
Take it
Go on just take it
Is this what you want?
Just take it
You’re not gonna get what you want from me
By bending my arm
This ain't two thousand three
More flys with honey
Honey can’t you step it up
By stepping down
I can’t fight the world and you too
I can’t be the one to try to fix you
You say Im making you a better person
Aw fck
Not this again and again
Could you be anyone
Could you be anyone
If you want an answer right now
Then the answers no
Ha!
Could you be anyone
Could you be anyone

Bootstraps
02:45
|
|||
Cannot hold on to any thing it seems
Everything's
Gonna slip out my fingertips
Be gone
Cannot hold on yeah
I'm on the ground
How we meant to keep picking up
Im down down, how much more down
I thought that we were done
Yeah dear God, dear Lord
Got blank stare, who there, cannot see, too dark
No one left around here
I'm losing
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
10, 20, 30
By the bootstraps
40, 50, 60
By the bootstraps
70, 80, 90
By the bootstraps
Cut it
One hundred, one hunded, one hundred one
You think I wanna get back in
To where I was before, nah
I’ve seen where my feet were misstepping
This time I’ll get twice as far
And learn the whole damn dance again if I have to
Cause damn I’m right and I know it
If I need to get a PH.D in falling
I’ll be stronger for knowing how to take the hits
I’ll vomit if I get sick
I’ll leave them if they say “that’s how it is”
I’ll find a squad too loyal, lover
We push and raise each other
Do a job I don’t need to ever quit
Get tired and sleep for one minute, get back on it
I never wanna give it up
I love it all too much
That's why it hurts so much
10, 20, 30
By the bootstraps
40, 50, 60
By the bootstraps
70, 80, 90
By the bootstraps
Cut it
One hundred, one hunded, one hundred one
