about

‘Ramraid the Servo’ is the first single from Bang Bang Bart’s upcoming debut album, Bali 9 to 5. A wisecracking anthem inspired by their experience dealing with private job providers, work for the dole, and the trials and tribulations of the disability pension, ‘Ramraid the Servo’ is a manic yet melancholic attack on the systems that keep disabled people in poverty.

lyrics

lyrics:

I’m shoring up the roo bar
i saw this once on tv
some cunts up in Wagin
went on a little spree
and i ran it past Casey
and she reckons i’ll be fine
she says if i’m headin’ out
to pick her up some wine

It’s not like things are all that bad
since moving back in with mum and dad
but uh
times are tough if you’re an undergrad
with a bachelor’s in being clinically sad
so here i come
here i come
here i come

when i ramraid the servo
i’ll get what deserve, oh
when i ramraid the servo
i’ll be free
when we ramraid the servo
just working up the nerve, tho
when ram raid the servo
it’s you and me

well dad started chemo
uncle Merv is ten tins deep
Well they’re saying that he’s got 4 months
but we reckon that he’ll keep
and mum’s in the nursing home
mopping up after the ghosts
And Jack’s in his bed room watching
comedy central roasts

they put me on disability
cos i got no points in dexterity
yeah there’ll uh
be no re-reolls for me
i’m not holding out for any D-20s
so here I come
so here I come
so here I cooooome

when we ramraid the servo
we’ll finally get our fair go
when we ramraid the servo
we’ll be free
just me and uncle Merv tho
when we ram raid the servo
Those pricks will see!

Well, I’m scrolling through Seek
looking for jobs out in Balcatta
“you got experience handling snakes?”
“well sure mate, in a manner”
and I’m working surveys
in northern suburb shopping malls
“who do you think’d win in a fight?
Tupac, or Biggie Smalls?

and when you hit up the cas’,
do you leave with money, or nasty rash?
and on a scale of one to ten
should a children’s hospital contain lead?”
fuck
here I come
here I come
here I cooooome

when we ramraid the servo
(If they try to fucken hurt us)
we’ll get what we deserve, oh
(We’ll sell our bodies to cash converters)
when we ram raid the servo
(If they try to fucken hurt us)
Those pricks will see!
(We’ll sell our bodies to cash converters)
We’ll finally get our fair go
When we ramraid the servooo

when we ramraid the servo
we’ll get what we deserve, oh
when we ram raid the servo
we’ll be free!
when i ram raid the servo
won’t duck or dodge or swerve no!
when i ram raid the servo
It’s you and me!
