year of the pig part one
disappearing acts, fiction and facts,
panic attacks, fat caps, lung hacks
love a dirty city sky-scape sunset
rainbows in the ghetto
rainbows in the gutter
keeping an ear to the underground
invent the best sound
bounce just once an up a down
now look around, just once look around you
can you see the chaos in the air that surrounds you
can you look beyond that, into the pretty easy to predict future
smothered and brainwashed by western culture
swoop like a vulture on the meager remnants
the scraps from the scent of a dollar
falls from high rise sky scrapers like 9-11 jumpers
oh and look packers pony just came down on his bumpers
he's wrecked, oh well he's insured quick grab another one
and murdoch ruling myspace lets keep tabs on everyone
there's always someone worse off for us to poke fun
afgahnistan iraq what's that? forget it like the gst
i never did quite know how to pronounce tsunami,
there was a couple of earthquakes weren't there?
a few bombs perhaps, nothing much, relax
it could never happen to us not in the lucky country
i get scared on public transport when its packed
disappearing acts, fiction and facts
panic attacks, fat caps, lung hacks
love a dirty city sky scape
rainbows in the ghetto
rainbows in the gutter
long for the gentle sunrise over mountains
was this all a dream, let me out now please
it was a crazy dream, challenged my lucidity
long for the gentle sunrise over mountains
kicking with my mates and blessings be counting
ideas like the challenges keep on a rising
sometimes i just want to be all on my own
im not sure why you find that so surprising
if i don't have to explain ill do my best to entertain
if you could listen, try and get it, just for a minute
or i could just talk shit let you nod like a git, let you think
just for a second you know what goes on inside this brain
i'd have to meet you at least 10 times then i might remember your name
still then i might not and you'd have to introduce yourself again
rainbows in the ghetto
keeping an ear to the underground
invent the best sound
bounce just once an up a down
panic attacks, fat caps, lung hacks
love a dirty city sky scape
rainbows in the ghetto
rainbows in the gutter
