Seems you and me baby on the road and we’re on the run We flash headlights for the inbound souls, No fun So we flick through the radio stations just to find some flair The harder we dig to find it, but it’s just not there Some say that music don’t matter for the revolution That we just need to focus on taxing the billionaires But my revolution needs art, n’ new sounds And fresh scientific ideas We’re gonna need good music and songs to help get us there - Yeah I want change, Sick of just waiting around I want change Just sick of just waiting around - Yeah! Another drought sucks dust down the throats of all my people But we don’t sit around waiting for the rain to come back down We got the red hot place from this climate race And the pain don’t matter, flash your bravest face Gonna sing out proud, then we’ll ship to the next good town, I want change, Sick of just waiting around. I want change, Just sick of just waiting around I want Change! Change! Change! Sick of just waiting around! Change! Change! I want change! Sick of just waiting around! Cos you know that we need more than an inner-city revolution Were gotta change all the oil, rise up and block their pollution And while they fight, and they’ll fight in defence of their profit and greed Sing, We are the people, We Hold the key I want change Sick of just waiting around, I want change, (Sing it) Just tired of just waiting around this dead old town Who wants change Who wants it Who wants change Who wants some Who wants change Who wants it Who wants change Just sick of just waiting around

Into the River   Parts of this river flow wildly And parts of this river run smooth Parts of the river got dangerous rock And there are parts of the river like you And parts of the river like bended knee N’ parts of the river run straight And parts of the river never forgive And parts of the river hold hate   Into the river We’ll feel it on our skin We’re gonna jump into the river Don’t be the last one in Don’t be the last one... in   There are parts calm as river red-gum While parts can’t be reconciled And parts of the river are all grown up And there are parts like a petulant child Can we understand the heat from the northerly wind When parts of the river runs cold From the winds of the river blow stories And some stories can never be told (Never ever)

 To the river We’ll feel it on our skin We’re gonna jump into the river Don’t be the last one in We’re gonna jump into the river We’ll feel it on our skin We’re gonna jump into the river Don’t be the last one in Don’t be the last one in   (Where do you go Where do you flow Where do you go?) 

River flow   (into the river) 

Into the river We’ll feel it on our skin We’re gonna jump into the river Don’t be the last one in We’re gonna jump into the river We’ll feel it on our skin We’re gonna jump into the river Don’t be the last one in Don’t be the last one in   Into the river Into the river

Middle Management   (yeah huh!) Beat my chest I beat my chest Beat my chest I beat my chest   I, I made it all the way See I worked towards my goal every working day My soul’s right here in this cabinet on display And I’m down just like Sinatra I done it all my way

 (and then I say…)   Welcome to Middle Management Welcome to Middle Management Yeah the budget’s in, but the money’s all been spent We’re Middle Management Middle Management   The office is looking lovely this morning Yeah the office looks the same every day I got a smiling family portrait on my desktop Yeah, their not mine but at least it looks that way (What you say?)   Welcome to Middle Management Welcome to Middle Management We must all account For every single dollar spent We’re Middle Management (We’re Middle Manage..) We’re Middle Management (that’s right, let it go tonight)   Yeah look at my crazy colourful tie I’m gonna be the office rebel ‘till the day I die I’m gonna put my feet up right on this desk And then I’ll beat my masculine chest   Beat my chest I beat my chest Beat my chest I beat my chest   (Alright) Welcome to Middle Management (Alright) Welcome to Middle Management The budget’s in, but the money’s all been spent We’re Middle Management We’re Middle Management (that’s right let it go tonight)   Yeah look at my crazy colourful tie I’m gonna be the office rebel ‘till the day I die I’m gonna put my feet up right on this desk And then I’ll beat my masculine chest   Beat my chest I beat my chest Beat my chest I beat my chest

Old Man Young Man Blues

 Verses improvised by guest vocalist, Melbourne artist (and musician) Angus Jones   Old Man, Old Man, Old man Pretending to be young man’s blues Old Man, Old Man, Old man pretending to be..

Vested Interest   (We’re gonna smoke ‘em out)   Vested interest Invested interest Vested interest We’re ruled by vested interest   A government contract, good for keeping control Follow the stench, until the trail gets hacked Owners shrugging shoulders, hiding off-shore In a tax-free black holding company stack Shake down the directors, it’s funny how they live A post office box inside a tax haven pantomime A family trust, at the top of the tree Secured by obfuscator beneficiaries   Vested interest Invested interest Vested Interest We’re ruled by vested interest   It’s like a popular minister, another free ride A brown paper bag, a little more on the side Swings a little to the left, then a little to the right
Just keep the people happy, and their hair just right And you can listen real carefully And you can hear them as they try to sing (La-la-la lee-lee!)
“Integrity, in a democracy! Integrity will be the death of me”   Vested interest Invested interest Vested Interest We’re ruled by vested Interest   It’s like a parliamentary puppet show Invested interest Then they’re caught red handed And they beg forgiveness This vested interest   Vested interest (ahh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah) Vested interest (ahh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah) Theft and corruption at its simplest (ahh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah) Vested interest (ahh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)

Opinions

 What in hell is this extinction zone
? The only home we’ve ever known Smashed up irreversibly Everybody knows, we just can’t see   Climate change is right on time We discoed past the danger signs As all defences blown a part Award the protestors the Purple Hearts   I got opinions man
I got opinions man See opinions, I got them Opinions, I got them in my head, in my mind It’s like I said, I got Opinions man   The only truth is what will sell Take comfort in commercial hell But the marketeers write brilliant songs Everybody shrugs and sings along   These private wars are never won It’s just weapons makers having fun With nationalists beatin’ chest (The) peacemakers will never get their rest 

I got opinions man
I got opinions man Opinions, I got them Opinions, I got them in my head, n’ in my mind It’s like I said, I got Opinions man I got opinions man
I got opinions man Opinions, I got them Opinions, I got them in my head, n’ in my mind It’s like I said, I got Opinions man (yeah)

about

Dubrow Reservoir, Australia

I was the singer / songwriter with iNsuRge, Soulscraper, & Blackbreaks, and this is my solo project: Dubrow.

I like layering beats, synths, noise and distortion, with some real instruments

The music is also political, because all good music is. We either sing for the revolution, or sing for all the things to stay the same
