Double down
Double, double down
If you don't get all
then yell and curse and call
Ev'ry trick and ruse and lie
use it all to get on by
Got your back, the media hack
they want just what you want, fact.
It's a system made for few
just your mates, not me, but you.
And the world heats up this bit
and the Reef dies with the aged
and the water dries, farms assuaged
and the youth lost, poor and homeless.
As they cry rights through the lands
and the mates make more demands
and the dollars buy more votes
yet the governing's just straw votes.
Never done, nothing won
just the dollars getting spun
and the fortunes bis outrun.
Not for fun, but for wealth
for me and mates, not else.
Double down
Double, double down
As we double down once more
and Josh cheers his youthful gods
Thatcher, Reagan, making debtors
of the people. But that's fine
as the shares have rising line
and it's mine, divine, on time.
If for you it's all decline,
doff your caps, these guys are mine.
Nothing doing, nothing done
as we switch another one.
What's a PM between friends,
an election wins the ends.
The charade that's told for all
it's the writing on the wall.
None to do, none to win
just a sav'ry wrath to grow
for me, my mates, none owed.
This the new, the rancid trend
as they rip us end to end.
A generation bought through tips
leaves its kids the pain and grief.
The work and need and heat,
the housing debt, the rage
of country all for one
and none for all.
The writing's on the wall:
heat to grow and work to fall,
wealth diverge and pleasure stall.
Double down
Double, double down
For what?
For GR, JP, GA, RP, AF, CP
SGS, IPA, TSI, CIS...
all for them,
secretly
Double down
Double, double down
for you, not me
double down.
Double down
Double, double down

My indulgence

Here's my indulgence
Sit and sing for climate
As the world spins to oblivion.
Shakespearian, the treason.
Humanity, in depletion.
Sensitivity, complicity, inactivity, equanimity
It's the crime against that cuts me
guts me, buts me.
Influence and money
They are honeys to these
hivers, haters, liars, despisers
misers, devisers, revisers, deniers.
Investment advisers, horizontal stabilisers.
Stay sane
No time
Stay sane
Contain
So my indulgence
Write and scream, connivance
Claim, explain, in vain.
Talk, balk at lies,
deceipt and servitude
momentary, venal.
Penal.
What we need, Earth needs, yet
extortionate, faithless,
mercenary, shameless
Sensitivity, complicity, inactivity, equanimity
Stay sane
No time
Stay sane
Contain
Stay sane
No time
Stay sane
Contain

Jack boot
Tear gas
Care refute
Shoot, pollute
Seen before
Danger, gore
Foresight poor
Just ignore
Leader sick
Party flick
Voters thick
End too quick
Replay, back in time
No escape, party crimes
Climate nears, end times
Money calls, short time
Jack boot
Tear gas
Care refute
Shoot, pollute
'Lection coming
Our side sweetness
Stunning, cunning
Deserving victors
Them that's evil
Slumming, mumming
shunning, succumbing
to illegal, foecal
Jack boot
Tear gas
Care refute
Shoot, pollute
Send in power
this our tower
them devour
overpower
Deflower
Them to cower
Our Mauer
Our powder
them to scour
power
ha, ha
power
Jack boot
Tear gas
Care refute
Shoot, pollute
This is how the world ends ...

Measure my life in webinars
Much to see, these seminars
Quiet or chat, sit the bars
Many to view in webinars
Set my guise from moving stars
Learn my trade from expert czars
Chat to many, some do spars
Measure my life in webinars
Still at home, through Covid-time
Calm or tense, no Sondheim
One more drink before bedtime
Webinars, a new space-time
Measure my life in webinars
Much to see, these seminars
Quiet or chat, sit the bars
Many to view in webinars
A new space-time
A new space-time
Webinars, a new space-time

It's my life
I'll do it and I'll bleed it
It's my life
I'll fight to save and plead it
It's my life
Gimme my life
I want it and I need it
It's my right
I'll fight to save and plead it
What's your thing
Do you know and drink and weed it
It's my time
Bugger you to take or lift it
It's my life
I'll do it and I'll bleed it
It's my life
I'll fight to save and plead it
It's my life
What's this electronica bullshit?
I'm alright
My chick knows and needs it
What's that to you
It's my right to shoot and bleed it
Break me don't
If you sue or charge or nick it
I won't budge
Just my car and country drive it
It's my life
I'll do it and I'll bleed it
It's my life
I'll fight to save and plead it
It's my life
What's that meditation bullshit?
Me, my mates
We're in charge and we want it
It's our way through
Drive the ditch the miles to free it
Just to us
Got no right to shill or bar it
That's the word
Gotta open counter bar chit!
It's my life
I'll do it and I'll bleed it
It's my life
I'll fight to save and plead it
It's my life
What's that key change bullshit?
It's my life
I'll do it and I'll bleed it
It's my life
I'll fight to save and plead it
It's my life
It's my life
I'll do it and I'll bleed it
It's my life
I'll fight to save and plead it
It's my life
It's my life
It's my life
It's my life
