There's drones in the air, killin' everywhere Who is to blame for the death and the pain There's blood on the soil - United States oil It don't stop at oil, global war's on the boil As the powers collide towards genocide There's blood on the soil - United States oil The war on terror is a fraud you will see It's really a war on you and me And there's blood on the soil - United States oil In the U.S. of A. workers don't have a say Their rights have been slashed, along with their pay And the cops have a licence to kill as they may The war on terror is a fraud you will see It's really a war on you and me And there's blood on the soil - United States oil It don't stop at U.S., they're all in the pay From Germany to Japan to Australiay If not for Pine Gap the bombs go astray The war on terror is a fraud you will see It's really a war on you and me And there's blood on the soil - United States oil In the name of the rich Obama does kill His time has run out for more blood he would spill But if he don't do it, we know who will And there's blood on the soil - United States oil And there's blood on the soil - United States oil And workers rise up from the blood and the toil

They said we'd have our own house in which to die As the years rolled on it became a dirty lie Leave it to our children for all the hard work we've done Retirees, aged home fees have us under their thumbs and crumbs The great Australian dream What the fuck do you mean? The great Australian dream What the fuck do you mean? Maggots in the peaches, swimming in the cream Got off the sheeps back, and they got onto ours The wool got pulled over our eyes, old McDonald want fries with your lies? Where did the homeless sleep during the mining boom? When they made a killing we got doom and gloom The great Australian dream What the fuck do you mean? The great Australian dream What the fuck do you mean? Maggots in the peaches, swimming in the cream Outback black guy sleeps under a sheet of tin Where the friggin' hell do you think you have been? Buy a block of chocolate if you want a sweet, sweet, sweet deal 'Cos you'll never afford a block of land When you're 25 singin' in a rock 'n' roll band The great Australian dream What the fuck do you mean? The great Australian dream What the fuck do you mean? Maggots in the peaches, swimming in the cream

Well it sure looked contrite when the deal went down Facing the press all over town It seems the internet chat room sent him down Nothing to shred, no-one to blame This time around Gotta find some angle to this shame Yeah we love the sinner but we hate the sin Yeah love the sinner but we hate the sin Love the sinner Hate the sin It's hard to fall from such a height Pillar of society doin' it right No-one will care for your history Left now to your misery Will they forgive? Can they forget? Can it be worse, it aint over yet They're comin' for you, it's just a matter of time Nowhere to run man Don't even try Well we love the sinner but we hate the sin Love the sinner but we hate the sin Love the sinner Hate the sin Sentence for the sinner is way out of line The time he'll get just don't fit the crime Privileged boy, he aint so clever It's the ruling class should be locked away forever And will they forgive? Can they forget? Can it be worse, it aint over yet They're comin' for you, it's just a matter of time Nowhere to run man Don't even try Well we love the sinner but we hate the sin Love the sinner but we hate the sin Love the sinner Hate the sin Well we love the sinner Hate the sin Love the sinner Hate the sin

Hit me so hard Never felt this way It's all so clear The haze has gone away But I gotta get through to her The things that I must do If not for her then for me Does she really know What she means to me? And now I see She won't believe me Heard it all before Why should she? But I gotta get through to her The things that I must do If not for her then for me Does she really know What she means to me? Hit me so hard Just let her be She doesn't see The way that I see But I gotta get through to her The things that I must do If not for her then for me Does she really know What she means to me? But does she really know What she means to me?

Mumma goes to work, but we've still got nothin' Daddy's on the road, and the bills keep comin' Laugh but never smile, while the talking heads Tell us to invest in hospital beds They say to do without as times get tougher Cars, teeth, food, the Medicare buffer They've got cigars, they won't suffer You'll feel the trickle down! Tell us another (Tell us another) C'mon the 99, it's time to make a switch We'll drag you from the palace Make you dig your own ditch Your treatment of the poor is just a little rich How would it feel to be Monday's Bitch Stocks and shares are up It's changing as I speak! It's up, up, UP! 55%! No, it's going through the roof! But the working class is down You're not getting any of it! Cowboys & indians at seven eleven Doing shit-kickin' jobs, 24/7 Lifestyle choices don't include education Bastards never rise above your station So the 99 get told what to do So generous, considerin' - We could crush you (We could crush you) C'mon the 99, it's time to make a switch We'll drag you from the palace Make you dig your own ditch Your treatment of the poor is just a little rich How would it feel to be Monday's Bitch Monday's Bitch Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah C'mon the 99, it's time to make a switch We'll drag you from the palace Make you dig your own ditch Your treatment of the poor is just a little rich How would it feel to be Mon... day's Bitch C'mon the 99, it's time to make a switch We'll drag you from the palace Make you dig your own ditch Your treatment of the poor is just a little rich How would it feel to be Monday's Bitch Monday's Bitch credits

Stoner 03:38
Here I am in the purple haze Tracky dack skin and the crazed gaze Dark Side of the Moon gets too many plays Sweet leaf how I love thee let me count the ways Stoner In a coma Stoner in a coma Next thing you ain't seen no-one in weeks Only Jane but she's a bong pig freak You know it ain't your fault, society is stuffed You know we'll have to fight Enough is enough! Stoner In a coma Stoner in a coma Then there goes the purple haze The tracky dack skin and the crazed gaze Dark Side of the Moon gets in the way Sweet Leaf how I hate thee now I've seen the way. Stoner In a coma Stoner In a coma Stoner in a coma Stoner in a coma

Ocean Deep 04:12
I'm feeling like a captain with no hull beneath my deck Waves are pounding my proud ship to a wreck The songs of the sirens are still ringing in my ears I'm a weather worn sailor feeling his years I turned my back on fate but I didn't have much say You can't ignore the future when it's blowing you away I threw out a lifeline and prayed that it would hold and I waited for the storm to go Ocean deep Time and tide won't let a sailor sleep Ocean never ends Like the tide, I'll always roll out again On the distant horizon there's a golden beach A haven for sailors always out of my reach As long as there's an ocean and a strong steady wind I'll sail the sea forever no land can lock me in Ocean deep Time and tide won't let a sailor sleep Ocean never ends Like the tide, I'll always roll out again Ocean deep Time and tide won't let a sailor sleep Ocean never ends Like the tide, I'll always roll out again..........

I came by boat to end my misery But the government’s try’na scapegoat me. I’ve come from wars and poverty Risking my life, hopin’ to be free. They put us on islands where mosquito breeds We are put down by the powers that be They start the wars that we’re try’na escape They bombed our homes then they shut the gate. The companies go wherever they please Exploiting workers and the profits they seize. But if I try to help my family I’m branded illegal and they deport me. They put us on islands where mosquito breeds We are put down by the powers that be They start the wars that we’re try’na escape They bombed our homes then they shut the gate. The rich go 'round the world with luxuries But if I try goin’ overseas The government cries “Borders please!” And we remain as refugees They put us on islands where mosquito breeds We are put down by the powers that be They start the wars that we’re try’na escape They bombed our homes then they shut the gate. One day soon you will see We’ll do away with - country Then we will, all be free To join our brothers in harmony. They put us on islands where mosquito breeds We are put down by the powers that be They start the wars that we’re try’na escape They bombed our homes then they shut the gate. We’ll open the gates and we’ll all be free!

From the time we meet till the time we die This is really only a long good bye On this last day of summer Ya know the winter will be here soon Auf Wiedersehen, Auld lang syne It’s like that old joke about a piece of twine We’re only here till were not We’re only remembered till we've been forgot Life is a journey life’s a dream It’s a life of understanding and its free At great cost Life is a journey it’s a disease A life of entertainment and it’s free At great cost Not much fuel in the fuel tank Not much left in the battery Looks like we’re runnin’ out a road Its been a privilege to share this road with you Aaaaaaaaah Auf Wiedersehen, Auld lang syne Grateful to you till the end of time Oooooooooh So if this be our last dance Let me say thank you in advance Auf Wiedersehen, Auld lang syne Sublime to ridiculous and back to sublime From the time we meet till the time we die this is just a long goodbye Life is a journey it’s a disease It’s a life of understanding and its free At great cost, Life is a journey and it’s rife The end is just the beginning of another one’s life Ooooooh The long goodbye The long goodbye

Beast In Me 01:55
I had a beast in me He's known much pain through the years But now I've reined him in To be nothing but mercenary Now I've got some feeling back again Wish I could say I feel a whole lot better But nothing's quite as it seems Still alone with these dreams But now I carry on With the beast he's almost gone Could I say I feel a whole lot better? Could I say I'm back here as I was? I had a beast in me Known much pain through the years I had a beast in me
