Sydney

Here’s to the city that makes you feel small

There’s a million dollar wave that’s breaking on the shore

Cause I couldn’t be the one

To buy a yacht and sail it in the sun

(Cause) That’s a lie

Melaleuca lines the streets

We’re more than 10 k’s from the beach

But I still can’t afford to sleep where I grew up

We know this land’s as old as time

But there’s a bridge that still divides

Between who owns it and stole it for it their own

Get me off I don’t like this ride

Get me off and I’ll tell you why

Growing up felt the city cry

Growing up in a place not mine

So get me off, feel my chest go tight

Get me off, feel the lights so bright

Growing up you were left or right

Growing up in a land not mine

Here’s to the city that’s always taking more

There’s million other folks

They’re begging at the door

And when I was 14

I thought that me all my friends

Would be ones to put the rich

Against the wall

(As if) Now i’ll never be the one to make that kinda call

And shit’s gotten much worse than my school uniform

(Hope today I get paid

So I can day a day off)

Get me off I don’t like this ride

Get me off and I’ll tell you why

Growing up felt the city cry

Growing up in a place not mine

So get me off, feel my chest go tight

Get me off, feel the lights so bright

Growing up you were left or right

Growing up in a land not mine
