Burning Down Australia
Still slamming dunks on door frames
Forget what the latest song say
Why the hell I make that face
Standing next to her
Hanging from the hallway
No coat even though it's freezing
The car's probably warming up now
Wasn't strong enough to be the bad guy
Dreamt of growing up in a rough town
The road's always being worked on
Waving to my former classmates
Only thing in common that we overworked
Broke & we're all in last place
I don't ever wanna wear a tie or polish shoes
What you call a sign of the blues
Call hot coffee
Fresh air in the fall
How much time did we lose
Same amount of time finding truth
Burning down Australia
But I guarantee I'll ship in 3 days
Any CD I mail yuh
See that little boy's sure handsome
Sporting that regalia
But he'll grow outta them clothes
And one cold day he'll fail yuh
He'll swear that he tried
Through the tears she cried
When it's all aside
Gotta swallow pride
Running outta time
Meeting our demise
All alone
Even if you promise that you'll
Hold my hand & guide
Flashback to the moment that I saw her eyes
And realized that it really wasn't all a lie
When we found a small space in a big room
Sort through issues on these blank pages
So many wanna die famous
The characters remain nameless
And everybody's on a mission
Rushing trying to beat the neighbor
To the driveway
We all arrive at a slowdown on the highway
Burning down Australia
Burning down Australia
Burning down Australia
Burning down Australia
Still slamming dunks on door frames
Forget what the latest song say
Why the hell I make that face
Standing next to her in the doorway
As sure as you're in pain
I'll be standing for you always
I can't hardly complain
If it's only me you shortchange
Still slamming dunks on door frames
Forget what the latest song say
Why the hell I make that face
Standing next to her in the doorway
As sure as you're in pain
I'll be standing for you always
I can't hardly complain
If it's only me you shortchange
Burning down Australia
Burning down Australia
Burning down Australia
Burning down Australia
Forget what the latest song say
Why the hell I make that face
Standing next to her
Hanging from the hallway
No coat even though it's freezing
The car's probably warming up now
Wasn't strong enough to be the bad guy
Dreamt of growing up in a rough town
The road's always being worked on
Waving to my former classmates
Only thing in common that we overworked
Broke & we're all in last place
I don't ever wanna wear a tie or polish shoes
