Requiem (AU) - False lyrics

[Hook: Jacinta Price] Used to look up to you but you're livin' In a false frame of mind these days Used to want your life but you're givin' It all away, for a false hand [Verse 1: Requiem] It all started typewriter, and visor cap Hawaiian shirt, idol before I was even tryna rap Likely that I didn't get who I was wanting to be But now days I just want to be me A fog of grog and hair of the dog A lifestyle I was rarely involved There I was told, whisky the way to start the day Work hard, and hard you gotta play Suit and tie heroes smoke cigars Hang around bars, really it's all a farce Idolise whose in my bed, and what's in my gla** How I thought writers go far Alcoholic author, Moody like Hank Drank ‘til nothing left in the tank Rank way to live, glamorised fictional swa*k Wanting to be Don, Humphrey and Frank [Hook: Jacinta Price] Used to look up to you but you're livin' In a false frame of mind these days Used to want your life but you're givin' It all away, for a false hand For false hands, for false hands [Verse 2: Requiem] Sip, puff, buzz, wind up and unwind That excess, indulged in it sometimes After crunch time relax from the grind Everyday replay, fast forward, rewind See I'm looking up to flawed characters My country, seems to adore larrikins Saying this aloud, damn it's embarra**ing Until now never made the comparison Remember Esplanade, Koj and Ozi B 6:30, knew that it wasn't for me Went to sleep, then I was late for work Didn't feel cool, I felt like a jerk Travelling lands, lone roads cracking cans Either you relate or you can't understand Chilling at the train tracks with McNulty and Bunk But why look up to some drunks? [Hook: Jacinta Price] Used to look up to you but you're livin' In a false frame of mind these days Used to want your life but you're givin' It all away, for a false hand Used to look up to you but you're livin' In a false frame of mind these days Used to want your life but you're givin' It all away, for a false hand
