lyrics

Athena said she's gonna leave me
Outside a Cretan restaurant
And though I don't believe her
She's gonna get just what she wants

Zeus dropped her back with Arachne's rope
He was pulling off in his dirty chariot
And butter would not melt in her pants
She looked like Jessie with her lariat

This country is so lackadaisical
Do they have to crucify themselves?
Put their babes on Torture Island
Up on our continental shelves

Reading Sun Tzu and Machiavelli
To get my head around the times
While a crapper rapper West Sydney fapper
In melting traffic's busting rhymes

Sun burning like a housefire
Hanging just above our heads
We just keep on washing our hands
And swallowing our meds

Always one step from disaster
Every day of our lives
Walking along the precipice
But carrying a little honey back to the hive

about

Ainsley Reed & The Rat Runners Canberra, Australia

Ainsley Reed and The Rat Runners have been putting the 'intergenerational' into pseudonymous genteel artistic poverty for a couple of years now. They earnestly hope you enjoy their over-written and under-rehearsed hyphen-pop nuggets.
