Mad Bastards

Lyrics

[Chorus: Pegz] Every small town north of the taintree People gather 'round and think we're crazy Everywhere we go, (Mad bastards) Everywhere we go, (Mad bastards) Every outback station in West Australia The DJ's gettin' request to play us Everywhere we go, (Mad bastards) Everywhere we go, (Mad bastards) [Verse 1: Dialectrix] One, two, yah They call me the mad bastard, awkward insane person Dumber than retard, opposite of a brain surgeon Mad hatter tea party comin' your way Turnin' a perfectly normal human being into a deranged hermit Workin' a haz in the shift of the tradie That is never relaxin' and riskin' my safety And it's mentally taxin' and physically drainin' And they whinge and complain, I'm insipidly brainless I lack sobriety, mad to match society Absentmindedly act like app for Micro- Sleepin', deep in thought multitaskin' at home When I answer my paper and wipe my arse with my phone Got the glance of my neighbours in my apartment at home When I dance around naked and try to master my flow My erratic behaviour, well, it started to show That all this rappin' I'm makin's why I'm retardedly slow [Chorus: Pegz] Every small town north of the Daintree People gather 'round and think we're crazy Everywhere we go, (Mad bastards) Everywhere we go, (Mad bastards) Every outback station in West Australia The DJ's gettin' request to play us Everywhere we go, (Mad bastards) Everywhere we go, (Mad bastards) [Verse 2: Joe New] The chemical imbalance damages serotonin While unethical habits cause the gradual head erosion You could get your best oppenent and Pegz will own 'em And we'll have 'em singin' Hallelujah, backin' up Leonard Cohen The best go where the silent cite, they got a violent side Sittin' in the corner kind of quiet with some dynamite But life is like the way of right, it's riddled with complexities The only time you're left to rest in peace is when you get released With expertise along emotionally tortured I'm just reclusive with my speech and kind of socially awkward The Jekyll and Hyde, level at size, get 'em to get in the ride Transformin' the mental client into a dental giant They try to turn you to a Valium addict A panic attack and then grab 'em, gotta carry my baggage And just revolve with the earth to find the soul that you search To flip the world upside down like the poles are reversed [Chorus: Pegz] Every small town north of the Daintree People gather 'round and think we're crazy Everywhere we go, (Mad bastards) Everywhere we go, (Mad bastards) Every outback station in West Australia The DJ's gettin' request to play us Everywhere we go, (Mad bastards) Everywhere we go, (Mad bastards) [Verse 3: Pegz] Fascist crimes classified anarchist rhymes Battle cries like Barry White's ashes revived Pain written on my face, pathos in my eyes Tormented by the missin' chapters in my life (Help me) The drugs don't work but the tab is prescribed To make me physically ill and scatter my mind Back with the primal, suicidal bangers on vinyl Abandoned disciple, hands up, tappin' your spinal Raps in denial, land rats trapped in the cycle Plagued by the economic act of survival (Yep) The drugs don't work so what's the purpose? (I don't know!) The doctors past us are social workers (Not again) The system struggles with such a burden (Ah, fuck it!) Mental health carers not for the service Murder, murder! Drugs kill my aspiration Catch me chasin' 'round Frankston station [Chorus: Pegz] Every small town north of the Daintree People gather 'round and think we're crazy Everywhere we go, (Mad bastards) Everywhere we go, (Mad bastards) Every outback station in West Australia The DJ's gettin' request to play us Everywhere we go, (Mad bastards) Everywhere we go, (Mad bastards) [Turntablism: DJ 2Buck] "Write some ill {edited} and let the madness begin" "Write some ill—" "Write some ill—" "—and let the mad—mad—mad—mad—madness begin"
