lyrics

I've been waitin' on a shootin' star
bringin' extra-terrestrials, from worlds beyond the dark
they'll have culture we've never seen, machines defying gravity
been waitin' each night for a shootin' star

been talkin' bout politics so far
our policies on poverty aren't workin' as they are
the rich won't pay their debt, until we become a threat
we're all takin' bout politics so far

Our children will be punished by the world
no equity for non-binaries, or between boy and girl
in art we have a choice to give others a voice
but still our children will be punished by the world

to think about the future makes me sick
I'd kill myself to make a point, if only it would stick
the best that I can brew is sing about the good we'll
once all the tyrants buckets have been kicked


we're stompin' all over sacred ground
their sovereignty will need to seed, if we're gonna stick around
I'll acknowledge where I stand, the original custodians of this land
Wurundjeri, you'll always own this town

If I'm to say I'm australian, then I'll admit I'm an Illegal Alien
I came on a ship from outer space
.…I've never felt so out of place

but I'm not without good company
who knows what I'd get up to, or what kind of guy I'd be
if we were all left alone, hearing radio silence through my phone,
I'd probably borrow each and every chord, from those who passed
and are still adored

but I'm happy you came, please stay for a beer
and bitch about the industry
