Description

Short Description of Song

Hard rockin tune about pushing too hard.

Long Description of Song

Those who've "gotta get ahead" are the ones stressing out and worrying, when all they need to do is relax a bit and they'll have more fun. "But i can't lose my job" they say. No, but you can tell the boss to get f*#@*! for not giving you a holiday.

Story Behind the Song

Formerly done with Aurora (the best Tasmanian band in the world) we decided to add a bit of demented harmony gtrs and somebody injected the hippy with a syringe full of funky... YEAH!!!!

Lyrics

GOTTA GET AHEAD

Your sideshow alley, your pictures of perfection
You want to be buried in BAYBAH.
You want to be taken to the hand
When judgment day is nigh,
But you laugh at those who cannot see your way,
And damn them to an imaginary fire.

But. Still. You.
Gotta get ahead?. Gotta get ahe-ead.

Ya workin in a lousy job for twenty years,
Makin lots of money that you never see.
You?re losin hair and gainin weight and stressing out,
And you say the crazy ones are him and me?

But still you Gotta get ahead?.

Wastin all your livin just savin for the day you die.
You don?t think peace of mind is worth getting while the getting?s good.
Turn your tv off, look out the window and open your eyes.
Can you think of any good reason why you should?. NOT

I don?t wanna be your conscience.
And I don?t wanna be your slave.
But do you wanna find out early,
What it feels like in your grave?

What?s it gonna feel like digging the hole?
What?s it gonna feel when ya fill it?
Somebody said you had a good life,
But you just had to kill it??

But still you?.

What?s right, isn?t always right.
What?s left, isn?t always right.
