I’m sitting here watching the stars in the sky
Wondering when I’m gonna die
But I reckon I’ll always be here
Clutching sand in constant fear

Centrelink said I’m no good
Don’t fill my forms in the way I should
But I recon I did OK
Put in my application the fifth of May

Been a long time since the cheque came in
I look for breakfast in the rubbish bins
But I reckon the cats got it all
Life’s not easy, slave to the dole

I’m sitting here in this desolate place
Nothing here but industrial waste
But I reckon I’ll go home to Balmain
when the share index go back up again

I’m sitting here, watching the stars in the sky
Wondering when I’m gonna die …
