lyrics

Smoking cigars on the balcony
Oh it’s a budget emergency
Were building a fence for the refugees
Oh it’s a budget emergency
There’s nothing but bush right so close the communities
Oh it’s a budget emergency
Now lifestyle choices come with a fee
‘Cause it’s a budget emergency
So tear down the camps and build a submarine
Oh it’s a budget emergency
You can’t buy a house or see a GP
Oh it’s a budget emergency
But Frances gets to study for free
‘Cause it’s a budget emergency
Just feed your kids on sugar and tea
‘Cause it’s a budget emergency

Now what you thought was yours
Is now gone
And who you thought you were
Never was

I’m a fixer roll up my sleeves
Cause it’s a budget emergency
We’ll turn the clock back to 2003
Oh it’s a budget emergency
There’s no room for those who are here to lean
Oh it’s a budget emergency
It’s a Whyalla wipeout can’t you see
Oh it’s a budget emergency
Yeah, coal’s still good for humanity
Cause it’s a budget emergency
We gotta build more roads and cut down trees
Cause it’s a budget emergency
So we can all live in houses in North Sydney
Cause it’s a budget emergency
But they’ve changed the locks you can’t use your key
It’s a budget emergency

Now what you thought was yours
Never was
And who you thought you were
Is now gone

Discovered while on Bandcamp safari. Agreeable shades of krautrock and 90s IDM and beautifully measured. This is the kind of release that encourages me to spend way too much time going down the Bandcamp rabbit hole. AJ.
