lyrics
V.1: A Brunswick rent has really gone too steep
And now Fawkner it’s not that far off…
But everyone needs their own space to Be:
Just ask your neighbourhood Toff.
As for ‘a home of our own’: we threw in the towel,
-- a mortgage long beyond reach;
And if Fortune so happens to smile and not scowl,
it sure wont be a place we can leech, each to each…
Our Generation’s still paying the price
For another’s indulgence n’ greed,
Some learn the hard way while some think twice:
it costs enough to just get what you Need….
BRIDGE:
Well a guy I know scored a house
up near the ol’ Gaol,
And prison walls are just what you’ll see
when stock Markets fail…
V.2: When we settled this Land & they classed us ‘Free’,
The last of the rivers were crossed,
But our Forefathers, would never have foreseen,
How easy their gains could be lost…
We’re an affluent Nation –yes, daily we’re told,
Oh how “prosperous” have we all grown,
But the rich become rich by the property they’ve sold,
--what a ludicrous scheme we have sown!..
\(REPEAT BRIDGE:)……
CHORUS: …
Oh’ a Pentridge sunset may be the place to be,
To keep you out of strife;
Yeah a Pentridge sunset may set you free
Or curse you thru for life;
V.3: When he first saw that face on that tram #19,
the future looked surely so bright,
but now all bills are paid there’s not a cent to be seen,
Oh no wonder it ends in a fight… every night…….
--And what time left is there to walk in the light?
Yeah what time is there left to just walk in the light?.....
(CHORUS)............................................................................//
