lyrics

'His little girl is in the back yard screaming,
he sits shouting back at the TV,
a fair go Australian is not what we voted for,
the heartless, still run the country

These days I can't finish a damn sentence,
without cursing all the time,
the tears that sank the boats,
you hear a story enough times,
seems like people just, go on and stop caring

I just wanna have something to believe in,
cause I don't have the courage myself,
but when I rode past the dealership saw them cars set on fire,
man it looks like,
we still have some heroes left

Now I'm to far away to contribute,
to the decline of the place that I call home,
but when an old man in a supermarket says what no one will,
Tone your a dickhead,
and we still have some heroes left

We still have some heroes left

What a spineless way of living,
I think I've heard enough,
we all have a criminal inside,
lest we forget,
where we came from,

I'm a boat person,
I'm a criminal too,
we remain ungovernable'
