Runnin' Up No Sacks
We were wondering, is logging onto myGov, and seeing that number
And seeing if it meets your expectations something you would be comfortable doing?
$81,000 I'm pretty sure
Indexation aside, $53,532
$28,307
$57,900
But also, it's not equivalent to the cost
Yeah, I've been runnin' up no sacks cos I'm a broke uni student
Never had a full-time job cos I've always been at uni
Have to pay off my HECS debt it adds up to 30 grand
But I can't pay it off now, cos I don't have 30 bands
I've been running up that hill, but my name is not Kate Bush
Avoiding all of the roadworks happening in Jeso Bush
Cannot wait for the bypass to open in two years' time
Much shorter trip from Shortland to John Hunter that's our type of vibe
Yeah, had to change the flow like chocolate syrup
Aye, I'm a good boy like a band from Brisbane
Yeah, see me drippin' like a choccy biscuit
Aye, not holdin' back I'm gonna go and risk it
Dang, I stay on top like I'm a darn meniscus
Wait, no time to up my ego like Ye West does
Yeah, wanna stay humble like Jesus always was
Aye, never wanna go back to what I once was
If I can't make lots of money, then I just make good friends
Human connection has more value than a Mercedes-Benz
Shoutout to the boys they always hold it down until the end
Not saying that the girls don't but I value friendship with the men
Never been overseas I've always stayed on Australian shores
Had planned to go to USA but for now that's been put on pause
If COVID never happened I could say I've been across the seas
But for now I'm stuck down under cos I'm on a travel freeze
This has given me the chance to see the Aussie south-east corner
I am grateful for what's happened I ain't wanna be no scorner
Pulling up in my mum's 2016 Kia Picanto
I go electric on this beat you may well call me Ivan Vanko
Aye, switchin' it up like Big Sean and Common
Aye, I got in the way like I'm photobombin'
Yeah, please just excuse me and please don't go dobbin'
Yeah, on me cos I didn't mean to be robbin'
Yeah, your lovely photo at the OT ball
Wait, why would I go I don't do that at all
Yeah, I know nothing about anatomy
Aye, or population health or physiology
My last name is my job like I'm a baker and my last name is Baker
Predicting the weather like Gav Morris wish I wasn't fakin'
Maybe with my Comms degree I'll get hired by NBN
But I don't major in journalism so where does it lend?
Major in PR so maybe in the future you'd see me workin'
In a job where I must make it seem like we're not under a burden
From the fact that we did something dodgy and everyone hates us
But if they told me to tell lies I'd quit or go on a hiatus
And seeing if it meets your expectations something you would be comfortable doing?
