3EyedCrow - Oi Government What's The Deal? Lyrics

Oi government, what's the deal
The world's gone to chaos, mate, and we all know who to thank
It's the ones up in the parliament, laughing all the way to the bank
They're sitting on cushions, drinking their wine
While the rest of us are working overtime just to get by fine
They're taxing the sunshine, they're taxing the rain
While telling us to tighten belts, but they're spending without refrain
They've sold off the rivers, the forests, the trees
And handed them over to mates overseas
Oi, government, what's the deal
Where's the bloody cash
You've promised us a better life, but left us in the trash
You've drained the land, you've burned the air
You've left us high and dry
Oi, government, enough's enough
It's time to tell us why
The cost of living's gone sky high
The rents are through the roof, but you're handing out millions for some politician's new suit
The teachers are struggling, the nurses are broke
While you're flying first class and having a joke
We're queuing for handouts, begging for a loan
While you're building up resorts with pools of polished stone
They tell us it's progress, but they've rigged the game
If the country's falling apart, mate, you know who's to blame
Oi, government, what's the deal
Where's the bloody hope
We're stuck inside your system, mate
And barely learning to cope
You've taxed the rain, you've drained the seas
And nicked our sense of pride
Oi, government, we've had enough
There's nowhere left to hide
Oh, but they say it's for the greater good
At least that's what they claim
While they're living large in luxury
And the rest of us feel the strain
They've sold the country piece by piece
Said it's all for a brighter day
But all I see are golden perks
While we're left to pay and pay
The farmers are struggling, the land is bone dry
And they're jetting off to summits just to spread another lie
They tell us to tighten up to make the most of what we've got
While they're drinking vintage bubbly and we're boiling empty pot
The system's a circus, it's one big scam
They're passing laws to fill the pockets of their mates in sham
But if you try to question them, they'll shut you down real fast
Like they're hoping the frustration won't ever last
Oi, government, what's the deal
Where's the bloody hope
We're stuck inside your system, mate
And barely learning to cope
You tax the rain, you drain the seas
And nicked our sense of pride
Oi, government, we've had enough
There's nowhere left to hide
Oi, government, what's the deal
Where's the bloody hope
We're stuck inside your system, mate
And barely learning to cope
You tax the rain, you drain the seas
And nicked our sense of pride
Oi, government, we've had enough
There's nowhere left to hide
Oi, government, what's the deal
Where's the bloody hope
We're stuck inside your system, mate
And barely learning to cope
You tax the rain, you drain the seas
And nicked our sense of pride
Oi, government, we've had enough
There's nowhere left to hide
Oi, government, what's the deal
Where's the bloody hope
We're stuck inside your system, mate
And barely learning to cope
You tax the rain, you drain the seas
And nicked our sense of pride
Oi, government, we've had enough
There's nowhere left to hide
Oi, government
Oi, government, We've had enough
There's nowhere left to hide
The farmers are struggling, the land is bone dry
And they're getting off the summit just to spread another lie
They tell us to tighten up to make the most of what we've got
While they're drinking vintage bubbly and we're boiling an empty pot
The system's a circus, it's one big scam
They're passing laws that fill the pockets of their mates it's a sham
But if you try to question them, they'll shut you down real fast
Like the hope and the frustration won't ever last
