Tunnel of Vision

Can only see with tunnel vision
Excluding the periphery
Along with any empathy
For all those in minorities!
Coming from pure indifference
Calculate success through defeats
Harm is just another tool
To rid the world of all the fools!
They’ll eliminate the imbeciles
Who don’t believe in all their lies!
And I’m thinking today
Of all the other ways to behave
That would keep us from going to the dark side
Where left is right
And black is white
And our differences make us stronger
Tunnel!
Vision!
Fear and
Division!
Tunnel
Vision
Hate and
Derision
Standing on the edge of the wall
Humanity conspires below
Taking all the things they don’t know
And spraying them all over the show!
Can there be an explanation
For all this angst and frustration
Could it be a broken system
Creating fear and division!
So much hate and derision
Can only lead to extinction!
Wanting
And waiting
Anticipating
A feeling
A sensation
Of life confirmation
Antagonise to synthesise
A new way to solidify
Our common ground beneath our feet
Holding up humanity
Grasping on to sanity
Yeah!

Built
03:25
|

|
It’s started again
To rip at the seams
And falling apart
Then back together once more
So often we tried
To get the lines right
Make a form that lasts
It’s harder than it looks
Must be a fault in our stars
That means we don’t achieve
All those things that we need
Like a room to breathe
Can it really be done?
To make a place in the sun
Which doesn’t fall down
And keeps us safe and warm
So many years
We have built!
Formed a dream
Then it spilt
Blood, sweat and tears
When we built!
Each room a triumph
Of our guilt

Collective Bargain
04:10

Here it comes
Another biased trade off
How much more
can you get for less?
We don’t want
any lies or cheats
Let’s get on
with it this week
You sit there
in your ivory tower
You don’t care
what might go sour
We all want
A fresh perspective
Something that’s real
A meaningful incentive
Oh hear the sound
As our voices sing as one
Feet on the ground
Standing side by side
Come gather round
and keep it moving
We all want a collective bargain
A call to arms
To-gether a collective
Don’t want to work
For hypocrites
We’re not here
Just to collect another pay-slip
There’s so much strength
In our unity
You sit there
in your ivory tower,
You don’t care
what might go sour
We all want
More than just a token
Something that’s real
Not cheap and broken

What You Get
04:44

|
What you get
And what you’ve earned
What you’re shown
And what you learn
All that’s real
And all you’ve yearned
Once your gone
There’s no return
Getting to know you
It’s starting to show through
We’re in different dimensions
Nothing to feel
There’s nothing that’s real
Another contention
Things that fly
And things that crawl
Can seem like
They’re nothing at all
What you want
And what you need
There’s too many
mouths to feed

oWo Sydney, Australia
A three-wheeled garage hotrod that once cruised the byways of the 70's AM band, now doing burnouts in the carpark of the
post-rock supermarket.
Enjoys weekend drives to lake power pop and riding no waves.
Rock’s not dead. It’s just inherently unstable.
Justin: Drums/vox
Chris: Guitar/vox
Dennis: Bass/vox
