Sold Out

lyrics

Oh when you're driving through the paddocks
In your Japanese car
And you’re wondering what’s at stake

Oh and you don’t wanna leave it
No you don’t wanna leave it
But you bastards are on the take

The bottom falls out
And the prices all gone
Running four years long
Think to yourself
You add it up

You add it all up (x3)

And the screws get tighter
And the rains don’t come
And the cattle rot where they stand
Had the same postbox for a hundred years
And it’s filling up with demands

And you’re driving the tractor over unmarked graves
And the petrol’s runnin’ low
And the crow flies away
You add it up

You add it all up (x3)

And the grass dries off
And the creeks run dry
And the subsidies are off too
And your neighbour's been workin' this land
Since your time began
But you don’t connect the two
The Mallees grows strong in an empty field
Where the seeds won’t yield
And the sheep all keel
You add it up

You add it all up (x3)

I never thought I’d be sold on market day
They threw away a lifetime with the cattle and the hay (x11)

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.
