We Lived Like Kings (We Did Anything We Wanted) (2016)

I don't get a million bucks for getting out of bed,
I don't get a million fucks when I punch folks in the head,
And even if we know we never get a billboard top 10 hit,
At least we know Russell Crowe's bands a fucking pile of shit.

I don't get olympic athletes to my barbecue,
I don't get extortion threats from the Coffs Harbour saloon,
and even if our pay checks may as well as be counterfeit,
at least we know Russell Crowe's bands a fucking pile of shit.

I smoked a pack of cigarettes before midday
I coughed up a lung around one
I can't see a thing through my eyes that sting
I can't remember having so much fun

[Chorus:]
Well I've never had so much fun
No I've never had so much fun
I can't remember when I've ever had so much fun

Can't drink the water in Sydney
Can't eat the food in Japan
Can't breathe the air in Los Angeles
but a million people think they can

These wankers filled up with hatred
Why expect any less
If they can't decide about genocide
I think it's time that they took a rest

I try to compensate blindly for mistakes
Try to make things right
For all my redemption I've the best intentions
But it's always ending up in a fight

Returning home, I look forward to the thrill
Of another lecture or another pointless drill.
Ascend the front steps dreading further war
Why the fuck is my key not fitting in the door?
I guess I'm not wanted, I wonder what I'll do
I've already been banned from my friends houses too.
I wonder what I did to make my mum so mad
No perfect homelife but the only one I had.

Oh my god, mum changed the locks.

Now I've got my freedom but no place to go
No prospects or money to go to a show.
I haven't got on well with my mum all year
Can't use the phone to call my friends for a beer

[Chorus]
Twenty past four and we're feeling kind of bored 'cause there's nothing to record and we're poor
There's nothing on TV, how can that be? Not even bullshit I don't want to see

Spent all day in bed, throbbing in my head, my legs are made of lead
feeling dead, there must be something to do to loose this mood
I looked in the kitchen, there's not any food
Something must be done, I'm craving some fun

Put on my favorite band, yeah we need to make a plan
Well I really hope we can 'cause the situation can't be much worse today, nothing's OK
If I worked I probably wouldn't get paid
We start to fight
Then we decide that

[Chorus]
We're going out tonight
Yeah we're going out tonight
We're going out tonight

[Verse]
Walk to the shop, CDs I can hock and that suck 'cause they never
give you much but I don't give a damn we're sticking to the plan we need to
buy some beer now the hour is getting near to the time that we know we've
really got to go, we're sitting in the park and it's getting pretty dark
We have a sup
now things are looking up

[Chorus]
We're going out tonight
Yeah we are going out tonight
one two three four!

[Interlude]

[Verse]
Now the time has come, we're going to have some fun
Now it's understood the night is looking good
Let's go out and find someone to shout we'll get to the pub and there's
going to be no doubt that
There will be some trouble there, broken glasses and stupid hair
We'll be without a care all night, cause

[Chorus]
We're going out tonight
Yeah we're going out tonight
We're going out tonight

We are going out tonight
Yeah we are going out tonight
We are going out tonight

Middle class white boys trying hard to annoy
All we really needed (is|was) a ticket to ride
Fighting with no-one at all that's ok
We've got no balls
Someone needs to sort us out
And make Benny cry

All we need is
All we need is
It's a punch in the face

Lary Emdur is OK compared to us
He makes the grade
Self-depreciation is important for some
We deserve a beating can someone teach a lesson
All that they'd be doing is just having some fun

All we need is
All we need is
It's a punch in the face

We need a punch in the face

And they go bam ba ba bam etc...

The band has stopped the night is young...
This bar is closed but there'll be more to come...
She whispered softly. "I don't wanna be alone...
Can me and all my friends come back for cones?

I called ahead I felt so cheap
Just to make sure my grandma's sound asleep
I shoulda noticed that her look was kinda smug
She only wants me coz I got the drugs

My mouth was dry my knees were weak
She held my hand as we walked down the street
I didn't give a shit she got my first name wrong
She only wants me for my Bucket Bong
She only wants me for my Bucket Bong

And when we're at home I'm feeling scared
Coz there's no bucket, sink or (vessel?) anywhere
And if she wants a bucket I'll have the last one
And she'll hafta have it with me in the bath
She'll hafta have it with me in the bath
She only wants me coz I got the drugs....

Another Sunday morning
another boring day
Another lonely sunrise
takes my breath away

I miss my lung
I thought you'd never leave me
god how I was wrong

A part of me is missing
It seems it's been so long

I miss my lung
After all the songs are sung
I miss my lung

I tried to forget you
And live with my regrets
I tried not to miss you
I recall your lovely breath

I miss my lung
As vital as the sun
I miss my lung

Worse than a broken heart
Worse than a poison tongue
Worse than an evil eye
Is you missing lung

I took you for granted
It's ended up in tears
I miss you more than showers
It's been about a year
I loved you like no other
How can I live on?
I hope that you can hear me
It's for you I wrote this song

8 miles of nothing and a hundred tonnes of will to survive,
Can't se the devil so you know that your still alive,
There's nothing out here but the sun so fuck up and drive

And I've got 5000 cigarettes in the back of the car,
We've gotta move'em now or we won't get far,
Sleeping on the dirt with the shooting stars.
A little sleight of hand,
A little contraband.

There's carcass on the bumper bar there's blood on the glass,
Picked up a problem and we're gonna lose him fast
This is the best day on earth but it could be the last

And I've got 5000 cigarettes in the back of the car,
We've gotta move'em now or we won't get far,
Sleeping on the dirt with the shooting stars.
A little sleight of hand,
A little contraband and desert sand.

Bird attack, bird attack
It's a bird attack, bird attack
Bird attack!

Magpie!
Seagull!
Ibis!

Eye's drawn!
Ice cream!
Helmet!

Bird attack, bird attack
It's a bird attack, bird attack
Bird attack!

1,2,3 the phone's for me yeah
I don't want to get it but my mind disagrees
Running out of patience but I can't break away
And now it's taking so long to find a resolution
The pain I'm going through there must be a solution
I can't be the one to give her total absolution
I'll send her nothing good

Does it make you feel good to make me miserable
Or is a power struggle completely unfeasible
Every time we speak you're convinced I'm unreasonable
I'll get through it I've found another way

Let's drink a beer, let's drink it here, it's the one thing that is clear

Everything I say seems to get me in trouble
I only feel better when I'm seeing double
Now there's someone else I think that we can resolve it tonight
It's going to be alright

Let's drink a beer, let's drink it here, 'cause tonight is all that's here
Let's drink a beer, let's drink it here, it's the one thing that is clear
Let's drink a beer, let's drink it here, to you I send my only friend

Let's drink a beer, let's drink it here, to anesthetize my fear
Let's drink a beer, let's drink it here, destroy your fear

Gone so long the days for thinking, hear that final call for drinking
I know there's been a lot of problems, not too many ways to solve them
Seems hopeless what can be done yet, I feel the need for icy comfort

Let's drink a beer

Congratulations you have won the right to anything you want
An astronaut, a TV host, and open hand a smiling face
Another medal for your race an open door
Another opportunity to find out what it means to be so lucky
Sit back forget about the rest
Just remember you're the best that this world has to offer
Oh baby baby it's a white world
I don't want anything to do with this birthright it makes me sick
To think of people feeling better
Treating everyone like shit
Sit back forget about the rest
Just remember that you're the best
That this world has to offer.

Never seem to be in front
Or part of the exciting times
Destined for a life of second best
The blackmail not the bribe
Together now whatever work has gone unsung
He'll be forever Malcolm Young
Always gnocchi not linguine
Never Hitler you're Mussolini
Often the sideshow but not the circus
Always Malcolm never Angus
End up Carlton you wanted to be Negus
Single pluggers never sneakers
Always headphones never the speakers
Shouldn't have a complex cause
he wrote Highway To fucking Hell
Together now whatever work has gone unsung
He'll be forever Malcolm Young
Don't be too cocky cause he wrote Stiff Upper Lip as well

That's why he was on stage left, and Joey was up front
Marky, Dee Dee, Tommy, Gary, Phil and Steve
They were all too lazy, to get on the record sleeve
Second verse, different from the first,
hey redneck, get in fucken hearse
And while we're at it, before it's too late,
invite your tall skinny mate.
Oh fuck
Gabba Gabba, You Suck

I've never been the type to travel on the sea
without at least a pint to keep me company
never in my dreams did I imagine that a vessel of this
nature existed for our pleasure, it's so hard to believe
that we will embark and to sail the open seas all the while
we will be accompanied by a sense of well-being
and a million lagers

Sail away on this ship of beers

The sea is getting rough, but we're oblivious
to the danger of the savage force of this
tremendous raging beast, we're
lying down below and dreaming of the land where the trees
are shaped like cans and we're wholly confident of
this craft and our inevitable descent along with the crew
and captain I suspect are sinking down into a drunken stupor.

Sail away

Something must be wrong the sea is very angry now
it won't be long 'till Davy Jones can claim me - hopefully
he'll fell like a cleansing ale after all he's only human.

Sail away on this ship of beers

Well I had 1000 Ways
to get through 100 days
and not one of them is good,
that's what I've done.
A beacon in the dark,
drinking whiskey in the park,
underneath the blazing unrelenting sun

but when my baby,
when my baby smiles at me
I go to rehab [x2]

I'm always in the race
to be first out of my face,
change I know I should,
I know I must.
But I couldn't care less
when I regain consciousness
and I'm standing upright,
naked on the bus

but when my baby,
when my baby smiles at me
I go to rehab [x4]

I need to cut my fingernails,
And I avoid reflections they're not help to my cause,
I quote a line from a movie that seems funny at the time,
No I won't say it again, I had a dream that I learn to write,
on the phone I can't get the time right,
On the next train when it comes now I'm coming home,
I get excited by an interesting moment,
Then I liken it to something that I've heard of before,
I try to censor all my senses at once resulting in the fact that I am terminally bored,
I was born to stay awake, I don't want to think of how much more I can take,
I'll catch the next train when it comes,
Now I'm coming home, I lay wake and I dream of sleep,
Well I'm no good with numbers so I'm fucking all the sheep,
My eyes are closed but my mine is closed too,
I don't know what that means so I won't say it again,
Such a straggle to stay awake, don't want to think of how much more I can take,
I guess the bus is leaving soon, now I'm coming home.

Enough said, too much room in my heard, I'm missing all our dying plants,
I miss the warm bed, a longing sense is so hard to attack,
I think of all the good things now I want to comes back,
I'm not complaining about the life I'm in,
If I did I wouldn't know where to begin,
So I will shut up, turn on the light, now I'm coming home
Well I'm on the next train when it comes, now I'm coming home,
And I guess the bus is leaving soon, now I'm coming home.

Morning. Wake up and smell
all the breakfast foods that are an offer.
But no one prepared us for what's on the menu.
I've never tried this before.
If this is the breakfast of champions.
I don't wanna be an athlete.
Gastro-testicular bad combination,
at least they're not serving it raw.

Cooking with balls, who would of thought
it could be so normal. Now we know
He's a Ball Chef.
He's a Ball Chef.
He's a Ball Chef.
He's a Ball Chef.

Come in, sit down, please be assured
that you won't find a bad ball here.
Culled straight from the rocky mountains
the difference between a bull and a steer.

Cooking with balls, who would of thought
it could be so normal. Now we know
He's a Ball Chef.
He's a Ball Chef.
He's a Ball Chef.
He's a Ball Chef.

You know we belong together
You and i for ever and ever
No matter where you are
You're my guiding star

And from the very first moment i saw you
I never felt such emotion
I'm walking on air
Just to know that you're there

Hold me in your arms don't let me go
I want to stay forever home and away
With you each day

Let me be the one
That you turn to
Someone you can rely on closer each day
Home and a...

Never felt bad lending a hand
I think you hoped I wouldn't be in a band
Broken ashtray I can always replace
I kick the door then I spit in your face

You are not my friend
Never ever again

Dream of sunsets with a drink in the sand
Of all my friends and losing money in the van
Remember holidays that weren't such a waste
And a broken jaw from a punch in the face

Picture perfect with a frame that pretends
To be a martyr for a cause with no end
I was thinking that you needed a break
What I meant was every bone in your face
A mental photo of discoloured eyes
Of dirty carpets and moistened thighs
These recollections I will keep to the end
I'm sure it's wrong that you were never my friend

I've seen your type before,
Thankful I don't have to see you anymore.
Not unless I'm looking through the window pane
At you goose-stepping around your room again.
You better keep it down.

Because your mummy doesn't know that you're a Nazi,
Your mummy doesn't know about the national front.
She doesn't know that you're a Nazi,
You're sitting in your room being a Nazi cunt

No I've never met someone so full of hate,
It's a wonder you've got time to masturbate
Over images of men in uniforms,
And you better keep an ear out for the door
Cause dinner could be ready.

Because your mummy doesn't know that you're a Nazi,
Your mummy doesn't know about the national front.
She doesn't know that you're a Nazi,
You're sitting in your room being a Nazi cunt

NAZI CUNT!

Well who could know,
The party's just beginning,
Party shirt and pants a bit too tight,
Put's on a show, cause he knows he'll be winning,
The answer's clear it's there in black and white

It's closing time, but he is just beginning,
Eyes open wide and a mouth that won't relent,
He's feeling fine, his head and body spinning,
Hands twitching on, he's in his element

He's your best mate,
Can't stand up straight,
So let's celebrate,
The world's fuckedest cunt,
He's out of breath,
He's nearing death,
He's at his best,
The world's fuckedest cunt,

Well he's still there, after the party's over,
With half the night, splattered down his front,
Beer flavoured hair, he's trying to act sober,
He starts a fight but it's just an accident,

He's your best mate,
Can't stand up straight,
So let's celebrate.
The world's fuckedest cunt
He's out of breath,
He's nearing death,
He's at his best,
The world's fuckedest cunt

Fuckedest cunt,
Fuckedest cunt,
Whoa fuckedest cunt,
Whoa fuckedest cunt,
Whoa fuckedest cunt,

He's your best mate,
Can't stand up straight,
So let's celebrate,
The world's fuckedest cunt,
He's out of breath,
He's nearing death,
He's at his best,
The world's fuckedest cunt

Obscenely rude,
Bad attitude,
Likes to get nude,
The world's fuckedest cunt
He's lost his shoe,
He's without a clue
He's just like you,
The world's fuckedest cunt

Go
Walking by myself oh how I wish with someone else
Oh we could be so strong
It didn't have to happen if I bought myself a gun
He would have been on the run
What fun

'cause he's a fucking genius
He's a genius a fucking genius
He's a genius he's a genius
A fucking genius

Walk away if your reactions are gone
I can't believe he thinks this is fun
I would love to be inside his head
If it's empty there's no room for me to
kick out both his eyeballs, and punch out both his ears
I'll find the braincell that he's got
Play ten-pin bowls and fuck it up
But it doesn't matter, It doesn't matter a bit because

He's a fucking genius
He's a genius a fucking genius
He's a genius he's a genius
A fucking genius

His intellect is far beyond you and me
He's so smart he can't even speak
I wish I understood all that he knows
Just hit me and I'll understand
the word he yells from his car as he drives along
If only I had studied more I might have known the origins of
maarmumarr
He can lecture with his fists
He's pissed and he's a fucking genius

He's a genius a fucking genius
He's a genius he's a genius
A fucking genius
He's a genius he's a genius
A fucking genius

Sup...
Comes in a box
It will fuck you up
It speaks so softly to you
tell you to have a sup
It's moselle, chablis, rosé, reisling
When you think it's gone
Well you know it's not
Just blow it up
Because you know that it's all you've got
It's cheaper than the box it comes in
4 Litres...
Choke on number 1
Retch on number 2
When four comes around you know that it's all good news
Only buy claret if it's the last goon in the shop
4 Litres...
It's up to you sup the goon
It's up to sup
It's up to you sup the sup it sup it
4 Litres...

I don't care if you're bored and all alone
It's 'cause you can't afford to buy some friends or speak by mobile phone
If you're wondering why everybody's stepping on your face
It's 'cause you don't have any money and you've been put in your place

So why don't you get down on your knees?
I'm richer than you

Why don't you get down on your knees?
I'm richer than you, yeah

I don't care if you're falling all over the place
Because we just can't stick around you and there's someone in your face
You're listening to everybody singing in dialtone
You don't have time to wait around, that's why you're all alone

So why don't you get down on your knees?
I'm richer than you

Why don't you get down on your knees?
I'm richer than you, yeah

I don't care if you're bored and all alone
It's coz you can't afford to buy some friends or speak by mobile phone
If you're wondering why everybody's stepping on your face
It's coz you don't have any money and you've been put in your place


So why don't you get down on your knees?
I'm richer than you

I'm richer than I'm richer than I'm richer than you!

Oh how can i fuck the system
When i just can't get it up
(x2)

You say you live only by the new revolution
Didn't even tell me that a radio solution

Oh how can i fuck the system
When i just can't get it up
(x2)
And when it rains
You're shouting out at me
I just can't get it up
I just can't get it up
You're like a rainbow
Your love is best for free
I just can't get it up
I just can't get it up

You're like an angel when you give me your love
Because i just can't see to get it up - FUCK YOU!

You say you're talking bout the new revolution
Didn't even tell me that a rain were a solution

Oh how can i fuck the system
When i just can't get it up
(x4)

I can hear a car alarm in the distance
And I'm sitting in my attic all alone
And this one wish keeps on creeping inside my pointless imagination
Is that I could have another cone with you

You said you'd see much more often
But I'm staring at my carpet once again
And I know I could break down the walls and prove our communication
If I could have another cone with you
yes, if I could have another cone with you

Well I know that it's unreasonable to want to talk it through
And I say that I don't understand but you tell me it's not true
I know that if we had a smoke we'd start anew
If I could have another cone with you

Well what you say, what you say, wanting your own space
and I know that it would be different if you'd just get off your face
I know that if we had a smoke we'd start anew
If I could have another cone with you

Well I know that it's unreasonable to want to talk it through
And I say that I don't understand but you tell me it's not true
I know that if we had a smoke we'd start anew
If I could have another cone with you...

Hope you don't think I'm rude
Fuck You
Hope you don't think I'm precious
Fuck You
Hope you see I'm well adjusted:
I can't stand the sight of you
Don't wanna be startin somethin
Don't want to antagonise,
All I said was something simple:
I can't stand the sight of you,
I can't stand the sight of you.
Don't believe, don't believe the words
I don't believe all the things I've heard about you.
I will be saying this in your defense:
I'd rather eat a fridge full of arses than know you.
And I've tried with all my might to see past
all you failing but I've failed to give a fuck
You're a fuck-up, you're a joke,
You're a clown, take your pants down,
Get fucked you fucking fuckwit
no you can't move into my house.
With a range of ethics that are quite perverse
You're sitting in the centre of your own universe
Not content to sit upon the fence, you'll fall
either way ignoring common sense
I look into your eyes and seen a haze
of your twisted sensibilities and little saving grace.
[Chorus]
I believe, I believe the words, of your
best friend when he likened you to a steaming turd.
And when he said he wished that you were dead,
It was the most intelligent thing that anyone's ever said.
And I've tried with all my might to see past
all your failings but I failed to give a fuck.
[Chorus ad nauseum]

I never liked your boat shoes
Or your white cotton slacks

And when you run for council
Did you get a vote or did you get a push in the back

When someone finds you out
Will you walk or will you get a kick in the sack

(Build 'em high|Feel the vibe)
(Left|Let's) (kick this|???) guy

Theres a stupid background fuck ????? lose your thoughts
I swear you've worked this in your favour ????? Never gonna take the prize

(Build 'em high|Feel the vibe)
Touch (the sky|this guy)

Coz
Uncle Ken is not your friend
Uncle Ken is not your friend
Uncle Ken is not your friend
Uncle Ken is not your friend

This (gun|guy) thats in my (hand|head)
I wouldn't leave it up, I wouldn't leave it up to you

If i had a chance i'd break your jaw, 1 less ?????

(Build 'em high|Feel the vibe)
Touch (the sky|this guy)

Coz
Uncle Ken is not your friend
Uncle Ken is not your friend
Uncle Ken is not your friend
Uncle Ken is not your friend

And when you run for council
Did you get a vote or did you get a push in the back

When someone finds you out
Will you walk or will you get a kick in the sack

Jesus

Uncle Ken is not your friend
Uncle Ken is not your friend
Uncle Ken is not your friend
Uncle Ken is not your friend
Uncle Ken is not your friend
Uncle Ken is not your friend
Uncle Ken is not your friend
Uncle Ken is not your friend

I walk all around the house in nothing but a shirt
I'm not embarrassed to go out,
it wouldn't be the first
I've looked underneath everything
the place is such a mess
there's stuff to do, I must go out,
it's probably for the best

I couldn't find my pants today
I think it's probably better that way

I used to dream I was at school
and running with no pants
that nightmare has become my dream,
it's difficult to grasp
even though I must avoid a visit from the cops
there's nothing I like better than to walk up to the shops

I couldn't find my pants today
I think it's probably better that way

I walk all around the house in nothing but a shirt

Political aspirations have never been
that high on your list
your minimal contributions are enough
to win the smiles of some
If your self made institutions are
strong enough to save your face
then maybe you'll be around
for the next punk rock band from the States
Because

You are a knob

It's your together disposition,
can't cover your lack of conviction
it's easy to be funny when
the jokes are all that you've got
and if your day old contradictions
are not enough to shut you up
then maybe you will be around
to write another fucking song
about vivisection

You are a knob
You are a knob (annoying mother fuckers that you can't ignore)
I see your face in the crowd,
stand up proud
I cry out loud

It's your conceited propositions
why don't you let me count the reasons
it's difficult to swallow when
my mouth is so clamped shut
when your day old contradictions are not enough
to break your back
then maybe you will be around
to witness what you have and what you lack

You are a knob
You are a knob
You are a knob (annoying mother fuckers that you can't ignore)

Sunday morning settle down,
Remember ??? find my way around

It seems to be the place for me
That there is little sympathy I've found

I've found this down here,

Helicopter's coming around,
???? this town

There's hidden cameras in my drink,
let's have a look good ??? you've been sick I've found

I've found this down here,

Don't you know the only way to win
It's gambling, vomit and sleeping in the bin

??? table signing out,
a (jacket) called that's 22 I'm out

I put it all on black 13,
feeling sick it must be someone's shout

We're all down here,

Don't you know the only way to win
It's gambling, vomit and sleeping in the bin

That way I won't own you anything
It's gambling, vomit and sleeping in the bin

I won't own you anything
When I'm sleeping in the bin

I won't own you anything
When I'm sleeping in the bin

It's over honestly,
I need to find a place to sleep,
It's being tantized without a sun,
All in the night I'm having fun,
I think I'm not about leaving town,
Someone finds another round,
Regressin' to a loved one's life,
Have a fight and lose a life,
Save yourself up for the fall,
But that's got the ability to lose it all

Don't you know the only way to win
It's gambling, vomit and slipping in the bin

That way I won't own you anything
It's gambling, vomit and slipping in the Biiiiieeaan.

If I gave you another wish
you'd be hanging out for married bliss
waiting for your life to control you

Married bliss is an urban myth with concrete smiles and bloody wrists
I never thought it would come to this, did you?
Oh ho

Haven't you seen the end of it all
One more fantasy before you fall

who ho ho, who ho ho, who ho ho,
who, ho ho, who ho hoo who ho ho

Sometimes it's best to pass
???
sinking to your boring point of view

???

I never thought it would come to this did you?

It's not cynicism but the same old contradictions
a repeat of the same jaded mistakes

I can't remember
giving us your bass
or lending us your truck.
And I can't recall
you handing out the pills
that got us so fucked up.
And when we reminisce
about the good times
and the poor,
the only two things
through the haze are
passing in a bottle and Karl

Alvarez, Alvarez, Alvarez [x2]

We danced all through the night
and drank champagne with the stars.
Oh hang on just a minute,

Apparently you took us to a bar
with toys in it,
I hope we had a good time
'cause I can't remember shit except for

Alvarez, Alvarez, Alvarez [x3]
Karl Alvarez

And in the dead of night,
in the silence of my room
with the history of the world
going round and round in circles.
Nothing of my best friends
or my enemies at all.
Nothing but a sense
of being hungry and
a memory of Karl

I never liked the way you're pushing me around
I couldn't stand it when you thought that you had found
Someone you're bigger than, I know it's just a front
You walk right up to me and whisper sweetly to me

Kaan Kaant
I'm gonna fight you

You think authority can knock me to the ground
I've come to realise it's not what you've found
Someone you're bigger than, I know it's just a front
You walk right up to me and whisper softly to me

Kaan Kaant
I'm gonna fight you
