Lyrics

Well we’ve never been tested
We’re a generation far too busy digressing

Much too civilised to realise

That our grip on reality’s slipping,
No world wars or Great Depression
Just more inflation and a bunch of infections,

We’ve washed our hands of all common sense
Instead of washing them in the present tense,

And we’re supposed to be
A country built on mate-ship
But that ship is quickly sinking
For all our panic,
And it’s meant to be the twenty-first century

And not nineteen-fucking-eighteen
And we all said it’ll never happen to me,
Then our country got fucked by the fires

And now Corona’s not a beer it’s a virus
And it’s nice to know how people react

With disgrace under pressure,
And we’re ripping toilet paper from the hands of our elders
So complacent in our placement
Soon to be scared shitless in basements,

And we’re supposed to be
A country built on mate-ship
But that ship is quickly sinking
For all our panic,
And it’s meant to be the twenty-first century

And not nineteen-fucking-eighteen
And we all said it’ll never happen to me,
It’ll never happen to me...
