Joelistics - Bang The Boogie lyrics

[Verse 1] It goes, one for the money, two for the privilege I grew up in the inner city of Sydney Problems, I had a whole lot of them in me Smoked a lot of weed at the age of sixteen Spend time tryna find out my history Wondering what it was the wind was whispering I'm from a land where the sunlight's blistering And everybody's got their own get-rich-quick scheme Money, money, money, make more money quickly Build machinery to mine and dig deep The new gold rush economic dick tease Snap your neck back at a break neck quick speed High school a**embly signing the anthem The words sound empty and I can't stand them Even back then I had to deal with the phantom I called myself Australian short hand for random [Hook] Bang to the boogie, bang, bang the boogie Bang to the boogie, bang, bang the boogie Bang to the boogie, bang, bang the boogie Bang to the Lucky Country boogie the beat [Verse 2] I got a Chinese father and a white mother And I was a punk drummer back when I was just a youngun I'm a mixed bag, mixed race, mixed up kid (What you got) with something to give, and I give what I can I'm from a land where blokes are blokes And they yell stop the boats and It gets them votes And they brag and they boast and promote a fair go The closer you look the more you see they don't And you hope that this changes excepting it won't Like somewhere along the way that's all she wrote Summerland really has a heart of snow Where the temperature and attitudes are 40 below But I still call Australia home I still hit the road with a hunger to roam And pack a little piece of the place in my heart and bones Every single time I get up and go, now here we go [Hook] [Verse 3] I am from a cashed up land of pirates A beautiful island with a sense of entitlement Me first attitudes, highly competitive Perched inbetween pioneering and irrelevant Casually racist overly cautious We lock the boarders up like it was a fortress Suffocated by a sense of importance And governed by minds that suffer from smallness So much focus on the money, I'm nauseous With no thought for those less fortunate And this portrait is far from flawless A little distorted and we're all caught in it I'm so board of it, it;s so fraudulent We can afford it but don't press pause on it You can complain or change your coordinates Me, I stay steady tryna get at the source of it [Hook] [Outro] And you don't stop, rock to the rhythm you don't stop Make money money money make a lot, too much just ain't enough
