In the bush and beating around

Hiding to nothing while the dream burns down

It ain't easy

Oh, it ain't easy


Swimming through another Friday night

Bathe yourself in the pokie lights

It ain't easy

Oh it ain't easy


I get tired, I get lonely, I can't sleep

I see my twisted, faded, empty city streets

Reckless, dragging around

This time, don't bring me down, don't bring me down

don't bring me down


Stand there with your cock in your hand

Piss your days up the wall

We had it all

Could've had it all

But River has flooded the fields we ploughed

And there's an ocean between me and you

Yeah, me and you


I get tired, I get lonely, I can't sleep

I see my twisted, faded, empty city streets

Reckless, dragging around

This time, don't bring me down, don't bring me down

don't bring me down


I don't like 

everything you dream of

I have to be a man


I get tired, I get lonely, I can't sleep

I see my twisted, faded, empty city streets

Reckless, dragging around

This time, don't bring me down don't bring me down 

don't bring me down


ahh-oh

ahh-oh
