lyrics

Well I’ve been on a long road trip
I parked my car, and here I sit
Eating my lunch, Vegemite sandwich
Can of coke and box of chips.

And there you are, in my mind,
In the servo, wasting time.
And here I am, wishing I had sunscreen;
My face is red, and the trees are so green.

When I get home, I’ll make my bed,
I’ll clean my clothes and think in my head
about your songs and what they mean,
And if you ever write about me.

And I hope that one day you will find peace
I'll read the news, you’ll forget about me.
The very first article says the world is fine,
You will laugh and I will sigh.

And here I am, eating my lunch
I read the news; it packs a punch
Pictures of drunks pissed on Australia Day
An elder cries “they took our land away”.

And there’s Mr Dutton, spitting his words,
Spewing his hatred, he brings out the worst
In this poor country, invaded lands.
But what can I do but think of your hands?

Holding mine, waiting in line,
Waiting for someway to waste our time,
And take our minds away from all these things;
A young boy sleeps behind a wheelie bin.

I’ve been waiting
I have been waiting.
