Where will they be 30 years from now?
Playing at some stadium, or just in Adamstown.
Will mongo still be drunk, and do they practise only every 6 months?
CHORUS
Over the hill and Wiseheimer’s their name,
Geriatric punk rock is their game.
Will there ever be an album number 3?
And will they ever play the song ‘Spider Monkey’?
Will Jake still be rich, and Chunk still a cop.
Will Vince have his pants down, and Heath have a job?
Will mongo still be drunk, and do they play only every 6 months.
CHORUS
Sitting in a wheelchair, staring into blank air.
Losing all their hair but does anybody care?
Walking round on a frame, or crawling on their hands.
Eating mash potato, whilst shitting in their pants.
I’ll still be watching them when I turn 64.
They’ll wave the cover charge and get my name put on the door.
CHORUS.

Welcome to Australia, we worship sport,
Where the players have bi-polar and we idolise Shane Warne.
They drink rum, have group sex, and they get away with rape.
They eat, they shit, they talk shit and they fight.
Welcome to Australia, we’re superficial.
I thought the race that stops a nation was more than a kick arse song,
But we don’t except skin, unless it’s coloured white,
We’re rough, we’re tough, we hunt to kill
We raise the southern cross beneath the star lit sky.
We worship corporations and it shows from the things that we buy.
Yet still, we’re socially below the status line.
I’m gonna burn the southern cross beneath the star lit sky.
We’ll talk of our ideas, we’ll have a beer, we’ll be best friends.
Nah, fuck this shit I wanna start a...
Country, where we’re not racist.
Where we give a shit about issues and we’re vegetarians.
I would banish all rednecks across the sea to New Zealand.
Where they’ll eat the fish and chips and play rugby

I'm Not Gonna Lie To You
by The Decline
supported by 27 fans who also own “A Breath of Stale Air”
This is a damn fine release. It feels genuine; at times even emotional (in a good way). It's fun and witty while also being pissed off in all the right ways. It's political, critical, and nonconformist. Yet it still manages to feel original in an arguably oversaturated genre.
