Border Force Act

Can you really tell me what this's all about cause I think I'm starting to have my doubts
You tell me something but there's something really big in the middle you have left out
What didn’t you want me to know?
What didn’t you want me to see?
That you were paying off smugglers in the middle of the ocean
just as bad as the people smuggling
No accountability
When there is no answerability
You close your eyes, you turn your head and shut your mouth
You always know when to shut your fucken mouth
Say you represent but you’ll never have to answer to our judgment
Border force act going to silence and attack the most vulnerable people around
3 years imprisonment, medical professional for anything that has leaked out
What didn’t you want me to know?
What didn’t you want me to see?
The way you treat the people you lock up in your offshore detentions centres is deplorable and obscene?
Words be going round
But the media makes no sound
Your systematic torture needs accountability
Still you shut your fucken mouth
Say you represent but you’ll never have to answer to our judgment
How can you justify it
Say you represent but you’ll never have to answer to our judgment

Panic

Everybody panic, lose your mind, let your media take control
Everybody panic, lose your mind, get a little paranoid
I know that my media is lying to me it does it all the time
but I can’t tell the difference now the truth may be lies
Headlines always flashing flashing, seeps into my brain,
swirling in my thoughts, this anxiety
What’s this story about and does it relate to me?
Who should I be attacking, who’s attacking me?
Can’t eat, can’t breath, can’t sleep,
Everywhere I look now, someone is looking at me
Everybody panic, lose your mind, let your media take control
Everybody panic, lose your mind, get a little paranoid
I want to know, where are your sources from
and what are they trying to change
Dropping keywords in the god damn ocean
From these little ripples you start to create some waves
Pointing finger focus said to identify
I’m walking around, looking around seeing the panic in everybody eyes
Now what do I do, now what do I say
Put a little panic into everyday
I need break, now I need a break, now I need a break, now I need a break
Break now I need break, now I need a break cause I want to believe what’s in my best interest isn’t being sold to me
Ah fuck it
I want to believe

You’re so happy all the time
You’re in control of your own life
and the way you think, whoa no body’s ever thought like you
Why doesn’t the world just want you more
The way you point your finger
The way you shame
Your facebook wars
are going to make such a fucken change
but I won’t go chase your bites
Think you’re Martyr for a cause but you end up with enemies on both sides
Do you think your hate is going to change the world
I don’t think so
When you preach not teach
You better believe there is no one listening to a single word that you say
Go and preach to the world your one sided views
I’ll hand out the collection plate
Enlighten us about the world today
cause you always know just what to hate
and the things you say are always so profound and true
Always the loudest voice in the room
The way you point your finger
The way you shame
Your facebook wars
are going to make such a fucken change
but I won’t go chase your bites
Think you’re Martyr for a cause but you end up with enemies on both sides
Do you thing your hate is going to change the world
I don’t think so
You know we are just hanging on to every sing word you say
hashtag whateva, Emoji in your face
but I won’t go chase your bites
Think you’re Martyr for a cause but you end up with enemies on both sides
Do you think your hate is going to change the world
I don’t think so

Love Bong Dedications

How can I save the world when I can even get of the couch
I’m going to write a song
How can I save the world when I can even get of the couch
I’m going to smoke a bong
Cause it’s so easy to say, so hard to do, I don’t want to move
Why get up when you’re born to lose, well am I wrong?
I can see what’s going wrong
but I’m going to sink right through the floor
I can see what’s going wrong
I’m going to numb it, going to numb it out
Where’s the fucken matches
Just burn it down
Who’s got your fucken matches
Just numb it out
Here is your fucken matches
Just numb it out
You’ve got the fucken matches
Just burn it down
I can see what’s going wrong
I’m going to numb it, going to numb it out
I can see what’s going wrong
but I’m going to sink right through the floor
Why get up when you’re born to loose, well am I wrong?
Cause it’s so easy to say, so hard to do, I don’t want to move
How can I save the world when I can even get of the couch
I’m going to smoke a bong
How can I save the world when I can even get of the couch
I’m going to write a song

Keep the fire Burning

One day, how could I ask for more then to be able to share our worlds
A change from what has been into what can be
Existing shouldn’t be about resisting, a little listening and understanding
cause it always was always will be
So no more deaths in custody or beaten in chains
What the double standards today?
It’s just so fucken terrible the respect it shows
A chance of discovery to embrace a culture that is so close yet so far away
I see no faith in government authority’s that comes with a violent history
Existing shouldn’t be about resisting, a little listening and understanding
Cause it always was always will be
So no more deaths in custody, kids stolen away
What’s the double standards today?
And it’s just so fucken terrible the respect it shows
248 years, resistance
as the smoke billows out don’t stand in the way
evil spirits be warned, it will blow you away
KEEP THE FIRE BURNING
I’ll stand with until we rise above
Open our hearts and share the love
Clean up the trash our history
Till there is no more deathsin custody or beaten in chains
What the double standards today?
It’s just so terrible the respect it shows
Only we can turn this around, rectify this mess
The systems got to change, we want to make amends
