Dummy up like the internet No empathy, no regrets Finite amount of love in the chest We were born, so we're pests And now we gotta do our best And now we gotta do our best And now we gotta do our best And now we gotta do our best I wanna go back (I wanna go back) Come and help me regress (come and help me regress) I'm a child Watch how I deal with stress Not very well, personal hell I wanna wind it right back before the man with the belt And the voice as it yelled And all the bullies and the institutions as well I'm a foetus again I think I wanna be a foetus again I think I wanna be a foetus again (I'm a foetus) I think I wanna be a foetus again I'm a foetus again Goodbye real world I'm a foetus again Goodbye stress I'm a foetus again Goodbye internet

(Bistro) These mean streets Up in these mean streets Crippling Ain't no pimple cream Recurring dream Burglary Houso boys not afraid to kill Child soldiers don’t know right from wrong Ego strong ain't no ego song Ego long like expensive bong Twelve year olds They be smoking cigs Smoking weed cause their daddy did Daddy's gone ‘cos they do round here No options so Mum’s gambling Pedophiles coming in my home Got a bike because I can steal Marg' on toast were their last four meals South Australia Not Brazil Not Russia or Africa Lucky country Go fuck yourself These mean streets Up in these mean streets (Simo Soo) St Mary's cemetery huffin' bongs laced with herron Sawn off shotgun ridin' shotgun Year 7 Best friend died of asthma Don't believe in Heaven Satan more forgiving Three 6 Mafia on my Discman Kids get pregnant then the teachers get the transfers Stoned in exams with the sleeves covered in answers How many chances do you get? I think I used them all I'm not passing shit unless it's joints or a basketball Slept on the floor on the night when you disappeared Racist neighbours ran your whole family outta here Sometimes I think of you and wonder are you okay I’d look for you on Instagram but don’t know your @ name I've seen some real shit (real shit) Fuck up your life shit (life shit) These streets got mean streaks And these is some mean streets (Bistro) These mean streets Up in these mean streets Serf in a kingdom don’t know what is that? Radicalise me don't know what to live for Kill a cop Rob a shop Watched my uncle kill his dog Watched my best mate light a fire Burned a factory got away with it I got nothing Just some stories Tell the world no one's applauding These mean streets Up in these mean streets

Stank hoes with the berries Hitler on the telly Thieving little mittens Chasing little smittens I was a kitten Now I'm a lion Don't try to poach me I'm hungrier than you are All I do was eat then Though I had to lose kilos Got my teeth fixed Wish you could see me now Laura, Laura, Laura Laura, Laura, Laura Laura, Laura, Laura Laura, Laura, Laura Yo, childhood obsession Manic depression Never really shook that Yo I took that, advice I overlooked that Now we're old, now we're jaded I hope you'd like me I hope you're not basic Didn't know ya I loved your skin though Eyes, hair smelt like candy Innocence, ignorance actually Laura AKA gorgeous Archetype psycho, just my type though Need it ripe though, make an appointment Ahh forget it, subconsciously influencing my decisions For ever and ever and ever and ever And ever and ever and ever Laura, Laura, Laura Laura, Laura, Laura Laura, Laura, Laura Laura, Laura, Laura Keep it Freudian, yeah Laura, Laura, Laura

Mister Nobody 01:27
lyrics

My father was a gambler That's why I became a teacher Every night he went to the Caffè Nero where there was always a deck of cards The soundtrack to my childhood was my mother's crying and swearing in Greek That's why I became a teacher There's a look that kids get on their face A look of concentration That's what I teach for It means they know that where they're going Is better than where they've come from That's what I teach for The others? The others waste my time They treat my classroom like a Caffè Nero They fritter it away Their failure isn't mine I'm a teacher I teach only those there to be taught

Chart Show 03:41

I got those Tim Tams for your jim jams Make up, no plans, radio on Tape the chart show Beats skip Looking like a cherub Soft skin, pudgy mid riff The 90s, rained a lot Cried a lot Wild emotions Crushes unrequited Before all the potions Just tryna' go through the motions It got too hard No perspective where you going What you doing Plus Stewart round the corner wants to stick the fuckin' shoe in Got love from Mum and Dad but they had no idea I had fear A lot of bravery didn't exist And I lied about things that didn't have no benefit Grow up, grow up son I couldn't wait to man up And that's a process Tape the chart show, carry on Got Almir back in school with the porno mags The pages stuck together because he stole 'em from his dad First time I realised you could receive love from an ad But what's a pit though? What's my age? Tape Rage Tape the chart show Tapes become adult Christy Canyon, Jenna Jamieson Crushes become fantasies That would manifest I wanna put my fingers under that girl's dress I wanna get undressed, I'm stressed I need relief I still want chocolate and chips and treats And cartoons I want rock 'n roll, too I wanna be Kieth Moon I want Dark Side of the Moon I want weed and goon I want freedom and youth Hormones like typhoons And I only wants tunes And jerking off like a meth addict all the time Like boom boom bap ba boom boom boom bap like I've seen it and lived it I did and I do That's the late 90s for me Was it the late 90s for you? Was it the late 90s for you? First things first, don't know what I'm seeking No Facebook but my dopamine's peaking Borderline in high school Histrionic gossiping Bullied then was bullied Broken was the goal She's a mole, he's a gronk And gangs were a reality Rest in peace Dhung, he was the first casualty Trolley polls, rollin, Discmans Orchy bongs, MCMs, 2Pac Paddle Pops, Paddle Pops I've seen it and lived it I did and I do That's the late 90s for me Was it the late 90s for you? Was it the late 90s for you?

Baby that was a trip, couple of blips blips Won't be doing that again in a hurry Lots of emotions and scars left on me Scrub up quite nice I'm not bitter, I'm Umami Call me well adjusted Only took 33 years David Koresh Took Jesus Christ's fears Fire surrounded the compound like a sweater And then we saw hell And now I've never felt better In my life, stuck up like a stalicmite Eyes on my reflection, just to check who's behind Trust in naievity and be seen Trust in naievity and be me Call me well adjusted Only took 33 years David Koresh Took Jesus Christ's fears Fire surrounded the compound like a sweater And then we saw hell And now I've never felt better Be seen, that's the lesson Be seen, that's a lesson Be seen, that's a lesson Be seen, that's the lesson Goodbye sun, goodbye moon, goodbye grass Goodbye moon, goodbye dirt, goodbye dirt Yeah I'll see ya later, Waco Goodbye sun, goodbye moon, goodbye grass Goodbye dirt, goodbye dirt, Goodbye food Yeah I'll see ya later, Waco And I'll see ya later, Waco
