Story Behind The Song

about how all of us live in industrial hell holes and find ourselves trapped in the town ya live in till ya die

Song Description

Its about living in Pinjarara (where john butler grew up) and getting drunk and smoking pot and picking up ciggarette butts and trying to get home pissed as fuck and finds himself getting picked up in a stolen car on his way back to K-Town and being arrested and having the driver try to pin it all on my mate on this shitty old day down here by the river in pinjarra Perth Western Australia

Lyrics

I live in a shit town, i was born in shit town,
im staying in a shit town- you live in a shit town too!,
where all in a shit town with nothing to do downtown-
not even any girls around the shitty old town,
there only a bottle SHOP just for U,
so lets get pissed in a shit town,
lets get stoned in shit town,
now i realised this shitty town- aint so bad,

Hurry up and get to my shit town,
so we can get pissed and fuck around,
lets get drunk downtown just me and you,

we'll go to lockup in a shit town,
im gonna get transfered to a great town,
they let me out in 4 hours,
so lets get pissed me and you--

get pissed in my shoes you'll have so much fun -you'll be on the news
i woke up with a girlfriend,
dont know where her sexy ass is from,
time to ditch her and run back to my shit town,
i aint got time to fuck around,
gotta get back to my shit town,
so i can spend some time sleeping around and comming down,

spend some time dreaming about a good night last night,
cant stop dreaming about last night,
i swear i diddnt start the fight, ill keep on moving thru the night
you future still shines bright...

VERSE 2
you gotta get out you get going, you gotta head to higher ground,
no point just wandering around
picking them dirty old ciggarettes off the ground,
let me take you to my shitty old town,
how can you smoke them butts from the ground,
oh thats right your from
K ............ TOWN

now your stuck in pinjarra oh oh no no gotta get you back to kwinana town
no bus outta here, and my licence expired years ago,
last train leaving mandurah in 2 hours from now
you better run and stick out ya thumb,
make you self look half respectable, ---
getting a ride is hard these days,
when ya look like a fucking coon, (ha ha )
im know im white but i look black
hey mate in da ute can i jump in ya car?
i dont wanna travel very far,--
cant wait to get home and get stoned and i gotta feed da dog,
i know i stink like a black man cant ya see i just wanna get back man,
he took off and threw his smoke i picked it up and took a toke,

hitching a ride down the Highway and im walking past the freeway,
fingering all the shielers THAT DON'T GIVE ME A RIDE,
get me to train, i gotta get train, pick me bloody up i dont wanna have to run,
shits oozing out my bum, i should of wore some jocks now its running down my leg,
that car just stopped ahead, ill jump in and im sorry that i stink,
walking for miles and i finally gotta lift,
this bloke looks pretty nice ill ask him for a beer,
he said take one my brother and pass me another,
holly shit i think this cunts pissed ha ha i think we just hit something,
holly shit its the pigs pulling us over and shit.......
this cunt is drunk- this cunt is smashed the cops are gonna bust this cunt bad,
i never knew this cunt was mad,

i gotta ride with a mad man, he reversed and set off THE AIR BAG BOODABANG,
the cops car is fucked and he'll run a muck,
he said this car is STOLEN i should of TOLD YOU
You should not of got IN, polair 61 look up MAN,

I wanna get out, i wanna get high, now im off to jail with polair 61 in the sky

off to jail for 24hrs craigie ,while the other bloke is real SHADY,
he said you took the car,
I never took the car i just came from pinjarra, this pissed cunt picked me up and hit some shit,
Your from Kwinana Town where the drugs flow like wine, hey think up up better story bloke,
you need some time in the pissy old cells,

it smells like piss in here at least can i have a fucking pie,
i never stole that fucking car that bloke da pick me up half hour ago,
ive been on da piss in PINJARRA ive been walking for fucking hours even got shit oozing out my arse,

give me a break and let me OUT
i cant believe this bloke tryed to RAT me OUT, this shit on me when im on my way to my shit town,
