fear and self loathing in beenleigh- new song

a teenage mother with a jewel encrusted crown

she’s getting chauffeured around

by some cunt in his beat up old rust bucket

he’s just hoping to be the next to

dig his mark in the top of that summit

but he hasn’t seen all the dirt track short cuts.

then there’s the itching old dog who lives in his four by four by four

he’s just waiting to kick it

his woman left him long ago when he couldn’t quit the horses

so now he sits at the train station looking for a teenage girl or just a little smile

he’s never had any luck so he kicks that red dust in his eyes.

law enforcement pace the streets at night

because they’re looking for a thrill

something to distract them from their ageing loveless marriage

so they pick up a kid they can mercifully kill

now it’s back to burning crosses and drinking red wine alone.

he doesn’t care he’s an alcoholic his skin is burnt and scared

a veteran with flash backs of a better time

he watches them come and go they say they are his blood

he doesn’t know his own blood.

he’s ashamed of his crowned royal daughter

she always takes when she doesn’t need

his brother lives in a box that is four by four by four

his blood hasn’t spoken in years and years and years

police say he’s gone and lost his head

then steal out of his back pocket.

because he never could find the train to take him home

no he never could find the train to take him home

you will never find the train to take you home.
