To think that once upon a time I thought about suicide
I can make em miss me/ a cameo in history
Thought about the misery and the ripple out effect
I was out of order thankfully without a chord around my neck
I needed a net but more important s...elf respect
Walked through the valley of the shadow of death, then left
Never looked back well not much and as such
(Delta sample) “Come on down to the rut”/ Fuck that you see
You can’t swap what I’ve got for the status or the cash
Yo we’re putting where we’re from on the map
Cottage industry that came from the tracks
That may have never happened if I never came back
I would not know the Elefants, the Herd through to Horrorshow
Or heard about the horrors from Rwanda through to Kosovo
Now that may not make much sense but
If I weren’t alive I wouldn’t live to know what it meant
I’ve done gigs with the god himself
Paul Kelly I don’t need money that’s my wealth
Can’t Buy My Soul said Kev Carmody
Indie rock folk pop hip hop harmony
You must be kidding right ha! This is living right!
So make noise for yourself if you’re here tonight
Such is life, it is what it is
But for now let’s pretend we’re kids (Don’t waste Your Thing)
CHORUS
Sooner you get what’s staring you straight in the eyes
Fate gotta have faith (Don’t waste Your Thing)
All for the chase, all for the taste
Crack that code, lighten that load (Don’t waste Your Thing)
They all say go and we all get gone
Don’t matter where you’re from to belong (Don’t waste Your Thing)
Live for the reason, love what I am, what I do
And that’s something to believe in
