about

Recorded live in a single take at the Barn Studios in Queensland, Australia by Mike "Beachy" Wild.

lyrics

People I know you're weary
You been working your whole life through
Here come the government man
To tell you got another ten years in you
No, we're gonna roll and we're gonna tumble
We'll shake and we're gonna howl
We'll sharpen up our teeth
We're gonna stamp our feet
Give them something worth fighting for

So people I don't have to tell you
These are hard times we're living through
When the folks that got ain't ever got enough
So here's what we're gonna do
No, we're gonna roll and we're gonna tumble
We'll shake and we're gonna howl
We'll sharpen up our teeth
We're gonna stamp our feet
Give them something worth fighting for

Get out your rockin' chair
Get out your shivering bones
Burn down that walkin' frame
We're gettin fooled no more
No more

So people I know you hear me
Tell me what are we working for
When they take what we got
And then they sell it all off
And take us down to the old folks home
No, we're gonna roll and we're gonna tumble
We'll shake and we're gonna howl
We'll sharpen up our teeth
We're gonna stamp our feet
Give them something worth fighting for


Get out your rockin' chair
Get out your shivering bones
Burn down that walkin' frame
We're gettin fooled no more
No more
