Hilltop Hoods

Hilltop Hoods - Fifity In Five lyrics

rate me

Terror 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.
