lyrics

Three years since the last break, not a single day off since
Paradise is busy by the bay
In orbit of the corner store, seven days a week
Seven through to seven every day

Upper flat, Inner city, such a long long way from home
Double cleaners wage pay the rent
In a tiny condensed world, make do in single room
Quiet touch only, beside the daughters bed

Living third world in a first world city

Employer brands the loyalty, keep the manners nice
The old bloke at the front desk, bites down the bitterness
Stress value first impression, try smile with missing teeth
Fight for slight promotion and pass the urine test

Living third world in a first world city

A state house by the motorway, three families in one space
How many can camp down, into a single double bed
Fever likes the company, attract by rheumatic heart
Win the prize of penicillin, or a surgeon on your chest

Loud hear them
Lucky them
Who were there
And who got out
Don’t hear them
Other them
Who are there
Who can’t get out
