Midnight hangs with my girlfriend
Watching the world spin
Around again
Spin
Around again

January 1st
There’s a party going on watching fireworks
Love is in the streets while the fire burns
A country to it’s knees I can smell the summer heat
Choking up the trees
Blood is on the leaves
In Mallacoota they’re on high alert
Slumber on the beach
Ashes fill the whole sky while our government’s
Sucking the teat of Adani coal mines
Struggle to see why we’ve let these old guys
Treat us like fumbling sheep this fucking whole time
Oi
Did they sell you lies?
Did they lift you up?
Still from hell you climb witnessin’ this life
Our wings get plucked and I can’t tell you why
Oh what a tangled web we weave
No leadership
No hope tonight it breaks my heart
Like a phoenix let’s see how well you rise

Is it too little too late they said there’d be days like this
Kinda strange watch the fire and the flames on a day like this

Midnight hangs with my girlfriend
Watching the world spin
Around again
Spin
Around again
Midnight hangs with my girlfriend
Watching the world spin
Around again
Spin
Around again

January 1st
Has got me thinking is it ever gonna rain again
If there’s really a God we better pray to him
Middle finger to Scott
No, I won’t shake your hand
I don’t think you do your job
You just get paid for it
So we grit our teeth
We get this done
But what will I tell my daughter when and if the future come
They gonna sell our water ’til they use it up
Stolen land is slaughtered for resources and all we do is shrug
What the fuck
Black fellas tryna warn us but we never listen and all we do is judge
While our judges get them sent to prison
First Nation tryna warn us but we never learn it
“How do we sleep when our beds are burning”

These are just some thoughts that are rollin’ round my head
While the last second of the year ticks closer to the end
Can you hold my hand
Can you stay right here
They always said they’d be days like this

Midnight hangs with my girlfriend
Watching the world spin
Around again
Spin
Around again
Midnight hangs with my girlfriend
Watching the world spin
Around again
Spin
Around again

Is it too little too late they said there’d be days like this
Kinda strange watch the fire and the flames on a day like this
