17 Again

Oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh, check

Oh yeah

Oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah

Back when I was seventeen, aye

Back when I was seventeen, oh

Back when I was seventeen I had a notion

That I would see the whole world across the ocean

My mum be working hard, but she get no promotion

She'd be there everyday for me, that's devotion

We never had a chance to go to the Aussie Open

We used to collect cans on them S.A. tokens

She tried to fix my heart, but tragedy broke it

I know I'm trying hard and destiny spoke

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Aussie ego

Yeah, yeah

And it's that Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Aussie ego

Back when I was seventeen, yeah

I stopped trying to kill myself, oh, oh-oh

I turned my whole life around, oh, oh-oh

Positivity and health, yeah

And I lost my identity and I came from housing

Trust to be been living in castles

How's the serenity? Woo

We walk them hard roads, came same

Yeah, Hoods as Hilltop

Young Mixed Race, baby, of the '80s, I mean '90

Somebody remind me, woo-woo

I'm a lover not a fighter

Only thing I wanna break

Is these ceilings in my way

Can't learn to fly in just a day

My self love coulda been better

But my ambitions would not frey

My self love will not frey

Don't hold that in, I gotta let it go

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Aussie ego

Yeah, yeah

And it's that Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Aussie ego

Yeah, oh-oh

Uh, back when I was seventeen though

My life was all trouble, oh-oh-oh

I seeked guidance and love

My mental was real struggle

There's no help but yourself, do what you love and live

Spread peace and love and health to these kids

From the orange brick housing flats

To the whole world across the map

Got me thankful to be standing on an ancient country

Yeah, whoa-oh-oh

And it's that Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Aussie ego

Yeah, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

And it's that Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Aussie ego

Oh-oh-oh

And it's that Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Aussie ego

Yeah, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

And it's that Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Aussie ego

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-ah

Thank God I'm not seventeen, aye, yeah

Thank God I'm not seventeen again, yeah

Thank God I'm not seventeen, oh-oh-oh-ah

Thank God I'm not seventeen again
