Mallee
It’s a race to the bottom So stick your heads in the sand Hear the wind kiss the surface of the river Set fire to our sins Washed up on the fatal shore Dashed upon the rocks Soaked in gin and holy wine and Riddled the pox Watch the ticks take the cattle Watch the blood stain the sand There was a massacre, on the mudflat And the squatters moved in Growling like an animal Down there with the dogs Fucking like an animal Down there with the hogs Send the boys to die on foreign soil Then co-opt their legacy To sell warm beer at the football And piss on their memory Tear the pages from the books of history Letras de cancionesSettle in for the 6 o clock rot Then turn a blind eye for a century And Walk it off Growling like an animal Down there with the dogs Fucking like an animal Down there with the hogs Growling like an animal Down there with the dogs Fucking like an animal Down there with the hogs Weighed down by ball and chain Weakened by disease I’ve been raised like a mongrel I ain’t got no pedigree The politicians peddle The newsman builds the pyre Got me nailed to the cross As the flames grow higher Trampling sacred ground Cursing at the sun Leering at the ancient land The ending has begun Crawling through red dirt Pulling down the trees Poisoning the water holes You call that young and free, don’t pay Growling like an animal Down there with the dogs Fucking like an animal Down there with the hogs From Letras Mania
