Straya (feat. Lickweed)

Can someone tell me what it means to be Australian? Coz i for one, really feel like I'm failing All i see is racism and greed prevailing The sickness grows from all the hate that we're inhaling Some of the population are fit like Adonis But most Aussies are thick and abhorrent Leaders slap backs of fat cats in towers Misspend public funds abuse their powers We have a misplaced sense of freedom Free to succeed but free from reason We shun the poor and those who protest We love the law because it knows best Rates of suicide are so high Too many alive feel dead inside Darth Murdoch serves another lie It's no wonder kids smoke all that ice to get high We don't care, coz life's too easy We just sit and stare, and we've become so needy Coz it's so unfair, how we act so greedy And we take more than our share, and we leave the land bleeding Far too many think that politics is boring Police state growing everyone is snoring Addicted to brands and promotions Buying useless shit choke up the ocean You want your life easy and cheap But everyone needs somewhere to sleep Our privilege comes with consequences Instead of helping we build higher fences Some philosophize through the bong smoke Whinge about the system butyou don't vote Lazy spiritool, rastafar-white Lack of engagement has helped the rise to the far right Politicians serve corporate interests And treat our indigenous worse than prisoners Cut the land for metals and energy And white out this nation's black memory
