Ibis say you’re only worth what you give away
Whoa-oa-ho
Ibis say you’re only worth what you give away
Whoa-oa-ho
Sit back, Chillax, watch it all collapse
We kept on taking, taking, taking
but we’re never going to get it back
When our eco system fails us, they will be dancing on our trash
Ibis say you’re only worth what you give away
Whoa-oa-ho
Ibis say you’re only worth what you give away
Whoa-oa-ho
They’re the ones dancing on decay whoa
Whoa-oa-ho
Ibis say you’re only worth what you give away
Whoa-oa-ho
Where’d ya party go?
From the wetlands to the palm trees
you know they share everything
they evolve and adapt
much better than we do
so enjoy what you trashed while it lasts
Detach, detach and you’ll find
what you call trash we call paradise
Share what you got
rather than asking for “what's mine?”
Ibis say you’re only worth what you give away
Whoa-oa-ho
Detach detach and you’ll find out what you’re really worth
Sit back chillax and you’ll find out what you’re really worth
Cause we say
One fools trash is another ones treasure
while all your trash is simply pleasure
Our paradise, your cesspool
when everybody’s living ibis rule
Whoa-ho
IBIS RULE

I can’t live inside this room
cause everything reeks of impending doom
and everything is rotten between these walls whoa-ho-ho
I woke up inside this place a little dishevelled and little out of place
When did I fall asleep anyway
I don’t know
Whoa I’ll chew through time
Destroy everything that is mine
Cause I wanna burn,
Burn
If I want more out of this world
I better expect less
I’m choking and I need to escape
so I crack a window and start to breath
the vacuum of the world grabs a hold
start to feel little more
Out the window I stumble in my escape
I’ll throw myself in the direction I wanna make
take all my problems and my mistakes, smash them one by one
Why did I waste that time living in a prison within my own mind
Do I want more out of this world?
Yeah, I’m alive or I’m dead and I can cry about it then
I want more out of this world
Expect nothing less
I never regret another day in hell when I try
Gonna live it up one more time
It’s not the Armageddon
So Fuck your religions
Cause I‘m gonna be alright
to smash right through
why?
Cause I can’t live inside this room!!

God damn it
Encrusted to the bed I crack and break away
Hard cold reality comes and slaps me in the face and now I’m up
I’m pedalling and I’m yelling dodging cars to work where it’s
Smash, smash, anxiety, harassment
Urgent, urgent, urgent, urgent
It’s not far to go till I feel mighty fine
Fuck this fucken bullshit, leave those cunts behind
If you want to see me dead you ain’t got far to go
Can’t stop, won’t stop, will never fucken stop
Whoa-ho
Encrusted to the bed how can I face another day
Holy fuck now I’m struggling and I’m fucking late
for the next beat down, how’s this gonna go
I’m a burnt out husk of a human, thick skin but no soul
I made it out, I made it out alive
Smoke them up and drank them down, recover some fucking life
I’m pretty trashed I gotta play a show
Give it one more honk
Whoa-ho
Further than the floor, further than the floor, further than the floor
We all know you can’t fall further than the floor

Where’s Scomo????
Is he on holiday? Can he please send me an ad
Cause I hear they are so fucking good they put the fire out in Gosphers Mountain
Who needs science and facts anyway, when you can get your information
written in shit on the Engadine Maccas bathroom wall
Where have you been all my whole fucking life
to teach me to be oblivious to everybody else
like you do
Scomo have a go get a go whoa-ao-ho
HOW CAN I avoid to shake the hand of that man?
Cause they know where it's been, it's very far from clean,
Rupert Murdoch's cream
They say
Scomo have a go get a go whoa-ao-ho
Where’s Scomo ???
Now pandemic everybody stay indoors,
Unless you`re going to the footy or the church the man supports
Keep your social distance, unless you want to pray,
Happy clap along with paedo Hillsong mates
And don’t you worry he'll let you have your say, unless you’re a woman then he’ll mansplain
Welfare cards and robodebts, celebrate the rich, crucify the poor yeah?
Where have you been all my whole fucking life,
to teach me to be oblivious to everybody else
like you do
Scomo have a go get a go whoa-ao-ho
HOW CAN i avoid to shake the hand of that man?
Cause they know where it's been, it's very far from clean
Rupert Murdoch's cream
They say
Scomo have a go get a go whoa-ao-ho
If he avoids it, if he denies it, is it really happening?
Scomo have a go get a go whoa-ao-ho
Scotty from marketing, sell me empathy, sell me consent
Where’s Scomo

What After ?

This is your warning, this is our call (to you)
Cause this isn’t working for me, is it working for you?
This is your warning cause you're not listening to us talking
So out of touch
Not giving us answers when we are asking you questions
I can’t see now,
what after, what after
easy when you’ve got your funds
easy when you’ve got your thugs
easy when you got support
Who’s supporting you ?
Cause I just can’t take this anymore
Got what you wanted, you’ve already gone and done it
No compromise,
Corruption, restrictions to fuel your power addictions
Within a blink of an eye
What after, what after
Never really give us a thought
Never ever is enough
Change the rules whenever you want
Now are there more of us than you?
We’re not asking you this time
You are walking a thin line
We’re not asking you this time
Whoa ao ho ho hooo
Now you’ve gone and done it, you've gone & pissed off everybody
You're so out of touch
As you criminalise our actions, our rights and our freedom
Burn our patriarchs
What after, what after
We just can’t take any more
They just can’t take any more
Nobody can take anymore
Now there's more of us then you
We didn’t want to, but now we have to
We didn’t want to, but now we have to
The pressure starts to rise, where the fucks our rights
Break everything in site, never felt so right
Because we don’t trust you, and your archaic way of life
Stand up for your rights, fight the real fight …… now what after
We just can’t take any more, we just can’t take any more, we just can’t take any more
We just can’t take it
What after, What after?
