about
an ode to Perth, the Mining Boom, and Sam Barnett's wheatbelt properties.
lyrics
Sam Barnett Blues (
Tag off at the station,
ah, haven’t you heard?
they’re sortin' that line
that snakes outta The Bird
Lisa Scaffidi’s
now mannin'’ the door
they’re sweeping the Gatorade
bongs from the floor
and your brother who works
at an equity firm,
yeah he mightn’t have taste,
but he has cash to burn,
bought into the wheatbelt
with the premier’s son it’s a comfort to know
that they’re having fun
well there’s peace in this city
like there’s peace in a hole in the ground
well, I’m a Transperth guard
unburden your load
when you see black kids
do you cross the road
do they make you uneasy?
do they make you feel ill?
are you worried they're after
your mate's Fentanyl
that they’ll
corner the market
on underaged girls
who have Hale rugby captains
bring them into the world
will they crash ya dad’s Beamer
and fuck up the top
and sell over-priced streetwear
at their pop-up shop
well there’s peace in this city,
like there’s peace in a hole in a ground
buy my EP for ten
buy my zine for a fiver
smoke meth at Camp Doogs
mate, you’re a survivor
Do we have enough milk crates
To sit all our friends?
Yeah 3 oughta do it,
If we uninvite Ben
read your spoken word poems,
to the BHP board
name drop AO Neville
and watch them applaud
I’ll air my manifesto
on access 31
I have Gina Rinehart
“I’ve got Gina Rinehart
and I’ve got a gun”
well there’s peace in this city,
like there’s peace in a hole in the ground
Yeah, there’ll be peace in this city,
when it’s finally a hole in the ground
