Hilltop Hoods - Fifity In Five lyrics
rate meTerror cleared the skyline and anger clouded judgement, <br />
So they spent a thousand nighttimes in the desert fighting something, <br />
That they couldnt find, that made it something that they couldnt fight, <br />
Left us all lamenting all the wrongs that they couldnt right, <br />
This is for the second time, we've been here before, <br />
From Vietnam to Saddam, we always needing a war, <br />
Neo-conservatives rose up like Viet Cong, <br />
Their fingers on the trigger we won't be here long, <br />
They killed MLK and they named a day after him, <br />
They killed JFK and named an airport after him, <br />
Some guy shot a monster called Reagan so he could bone, <br />
A girl named Jodie Foster, if only he'd known, <br />
We tested nukes in the atmosphere, the sea and dirt, <br />
And they tested all these missiles just to see if they worked, <br />
Now France got 'em, Russia got 'em, India and Pakistan, <br />
Korea want 'em, states want 'em pointed at the Taliban, <br />
Iran and Afghanistan, sands of the Arab lands, <br />
Order from portable commands in armoured caravans, internet, 3g cellular phones, <br />
Serial killers built in mini-sells in their homes, <br />
And we had Manson, Bundy, Gacy-son of Sam, <br />
Macarena, Superman, chicken dance, running man, <br />
Generation X and generation Y, <br />
And the generation next will degenerate and die, <br />
Cause we got holes in the ozone that we put there ourselves, <br />
Now the poles are a no-go, earths cooking itself, <br />
And we can't look at ourselves so we got saline, botox, eighteen, fake tits, ninteen detox, <br />
Don't stop, get it, get it, can't afford it get it credit, <br />
Buy it, spend it, try it, getting fat? then you better ched it, <br />
Ab-swing, blue blocker, Tupac or Biggy, <br />
East coast, west coast, Fat Joe or fifty, <br />
Thatcher the shifty iron lady, Tony Blair, <br />
A princess died, some say cause she got Dodi there, <br />
Whitlam, Keating, Hawke and a promise, <br />
Of no children in poverty, wish that could have been honest, <br />
We had abbot and costella, right wing overloads, <br />
<br />
Promises and children, they threw em both overboard, <br />
Overwrought refugees thrown to a group home, <br />
Or jailed for the crime of looking for a new home, <br />
Elvis died, Hendrix died, Lennon died<br />
Genocide, in Africa, Serbia, Cambodia, pesticides, bio-toxins, chemical warfare, <br />
All's fair in love and war, more work for the pallbearer, <br />
More terror, more unjust search and seizures, <br />
A tidal wave came and claimed the coast of Indonesia, <br />
Quakes in Iran, Japan and California, <br />
Greenhouse gas turned the world into a sauna, <br />
The trauma of mortars, martyrs, slaughters, <br />
Of partners, mourners, fathers and daughters, <br />
They chassed us, caught us, numbered us to sort us, <br />
Raped up, scorned us, to break us they bought us, <br />
Third world kidneys for captains of industry, <br />
Uprising in the street, corruption in the ministry, <br />
A blowjob brought about the fall of a dynasty, <br />
And MP3s saw the fall of an industry, <br />
Doubled population, halved accommodation, <br />
Carved up resources and we starved the poorer nations, Beirut, Chechnya, all hell, <br />
Broke loose, belin, ninteen eighty nine man, the wall fell, <br />
Cold war ended but that didn't stop more shells, <br />
Waco lit up the sky like burning oil wells, <br />
A world laid waste addiction, <br />
Tell Orwell truth's always stranger then fiction, <br />
Big brother's on closed circuit TV and on cable, <br />
Reality's now scripted, celebrity's for sale, jeopary and jail, seized, depossed, <br />
Remedies and penalties for failed CEO's, <br />
We had the Enron collapse, and white-collar crime, <br />
Investors they were taxed, a dollar for a dime, <br />
The blue chip companies and blue-sky mines, <br />
We no longer choose sides we choose sidelines, <br />
Rich bleeding the kind, blind leading the blind, <br />
And history repeats, no competing with time, <br />
Gasses eating the minds of the vets that they bing home, <br />
The plague of agent orange, gulf war syndrome, <br />
Soldiers sent home, posttraumatic stress leave, <br />
STDs cause the sleeve aint sexy, <br />
AIDS shook the eighties, grim reaper with a bowling ball, <br />
Metallica, kill em all, let god scold em all, <br />
The Guildford four, chicago seven, <br />
Mumia, mandela, oceans eleven, <br />
Half past twelve on friday the thirteenth, <br />
Dawn of the dead, a nightmare on elm street, <br />
Weapons free environment, war zone, phone home, <br />
Melanoma grow as we soak in the ozone, <br />
Home-grown, hydro, cocaine, nitro, <br />
Werewolf in london, american physco, <br />
Cyclones, bushfires, bush firing scuds, <br />
Naby boomers, woodstoack what happened to the love?<br />
What happened to the cubs? they def em to the wolves, <br />
Set a trial for pedophiles, they let em in the schools, <br />
Set em on the students, turned em on the kids, <br />
And everyone responsible should burn for what they did, <br />
And if they try to deny then an eye for an eye, <br />
The government and church on which we try to rely, <br />
Both rob us till it hurts chasing lie after lie, <br />
Like astronauts chasing a pie in the sky, <br />
They landed on the moon but can't seem to return there, <br />
Makes some question if they ever really were there, <br />
And if they were there now and they looked back, <br />
Would we look them in the eye, could we look back?<br />
Cause when we look back at what we have done, <br />
Can you believe what we have become?<br />
As we walk into the sun, <br />
Can you believe what we have become?<br />
As we walk into the sun.
