17 Again
Oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, check
Oh, yeah
Oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah
Back when I was seventeen, ay
Back when I was seventeen, oh
Back when I was seventeen I had a notion
That I would see the whole world across the ocean
My mum be working hard, but she get no promotion
She'd be there every day for me, that's devotion
We never had a chance to go to the Aussie Open
We used to collect cans on them S.A. tokens
She tried to fix my heart, but tragedy broke it
I know I'm trying hard and destiny spoke
Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Aussie ego
Yah, yah
And it's that Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Aussie ego
Back when I was seventeen, yay
I stopped trying to kill myself, oh-o-oh
I turned my whole life around, oh-o-oh
Positivity and health, yeah
And I lost my identity
And I came from housing trust to be been living in castles
How's the serenity? Woo, we walk them hard roads, came same
Yah, hoods as hilltop, young mixed-race baby
Of the eighties, I mean nineties, somebody remind me, woo woo
I'm a lover, not a fighter, only thing I wanna break
Is these ceilings in my way, can't learn to fly in just a day
My self love coulda been better but my ambitions would not frey
My self love will not frey, don't hold that in, I gotta let it go
Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Aussie ego
Yah, yah
And it's that Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Aussie ego
Yah, oh-oh
Uh, back when I was seventeen, though
My life was all trouble
I seeked guidance and love
My mental was real struggle, oh-oh
There's no help but yourself do what you love and live
Spread peace and love and health to these kids
From the orange-brick housing flats
To the whole world across the map
Got me thankful to be standing on an ancient country
Yah, wo-o-oah
And it's that Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Aussie ego
Yah, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
And it's that Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Aussie ego
Oh-oh-oh-oh
And it's that Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Aussie ego
Yah, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
And it's that Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Aussie ego
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-ah
Thank God I'm not seventeen, ay yah
Thank God I'm not seventeen again, yah
Thank God I'm not seventeen, oh-oh-oh-ah
Thank God I'm not seventeen again
Oh-oh-oh-oh, check
Oh, yeah
Oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah
Back when I was seventeen, ay
