Dogs barking til the break of dawn
Cars mounted on blocks out the front
The snide and snicker of 4 wheel drives
As they glide through their Sundays
In our countryside
(Chorus)
And Im telling you
It ain't pretty
And It ain't quaint
It's all part of a greater state
Well some listen to understand
While others just consume
On demand
The taste of dirt in a drone of flies
A merry scream hangs in the night
A faded poster on a bedroom wall
Reminding of times when you gave you all
(Chorus)
The pound screams at 5am
It's off to work in a foreign land
Driving home into a burning sun
All of the while just thinking how your life's been
All of the while just thinking how you life's been
All of the while just thinking how you've been done
(chorus)
