Life don’t get better than this
All of the bad times are put in the past
I just can’t describe, can’t put it in words
Just what it’s like, this feeling inside
Beyond comprehension, beyond words
To have life in my hands - a new-born child
A mother gives birth to her child
This miracle has grown inside
And now it’s happened - all her dreams have come true
Something so beautiful to give her love to
Beyond comprehension, beyond words
To have life in my hands - a new-born child
I just can’t tell
How can I describe
The joy within me
The feeling of pride
Flesh of my flesh
And bone of my bones
It’s my baby - this little one
A new born child
What’s in the future - we don’t know
Will she be a good mother and how will he go?
Will the kid be a genius or will he be slow?
Will they be good parents - how can we know?
Will he work too much and stay out at the pub?
All they really want is to give their love
I just can’t tell
How can I describe
The joy within me
The feeling of pride
Flesh of my flesh
And bone of my bones
It’s my baby - this little one
A new born child

Came into the world - the mistake or choice of someone else
Came into the world - did no crime, so innocent
Came into the world - deserves the best love and care
Came into the world - tell we why this child should be the victim in the end
Children don’t deserve parents who don’t care
You cannot act like that when kids are living there
It doesn’t take much to fill their lives with fear
Children don’t deserve parents who don’t care
Grows in the world in front to the TV
Parents don’t give a dam what they watch or see
A model and example of how selfish they can be
Hurting, hurting, hurting, hurting
Tell me for this child what will the future be?
Children don’t deserve parents who don’t care
You cannot act like that when kids are living there
It doesn’t take much to fill their lives with fear
Children don’t deserve parents who don’t care
They’re hurting, hurting, in a disillusioning world
Trying to be somebody without the love and care to mould
They’re hurting, hurting, in a disillusioning world
Gonna be just the same without the love and care to mould
Children don’t deserve parents who don’t care
Children don’t deserve parents who don’t care
You cannot act like that when kids are living there
Children don’t deserve parents who don’t care

Mum
I'm disappointed, my faith is gone
When I look at you grades this year my son
You are gonna be a loser
Just like your old man - alcohol abuser
Alcohol abuser - put him in the box
Dad
Look at your room, look at your life
Do the similarities cut like a knife?
In your heart, do you care anymore?
Do you hear anymore - are you there anymore?
He’s nobody - put him in the box
Don’t you call me disadvantaged
Coz I don’t care what you say
I don’t care what you think
I don’t need my parents
And I don’t need you
I'm gonna find my own way
I'm gonna be somebody
I'm gonna prove myself
I'm gonna make myself count
And if you try to put me inside this box
I'll fight my way out
Gran
Hello grandson, give me a kiss
I pray for you every night
I hope you still go to church
Pray to God and do things right
Follow God - put him in the box
Doc
I am the doctor I looked at his brain
And I can tell you that he’s not insane
But he has learning disabilities
Attention deficit disorder and multiple allergies
He’s nobody - put him in the box
Don’t you call me disadvantaged
Coz I don’t care what you say
I don’t care what you think
I don’t need my parents
And I don’t need you
I'm gonna find my own way
I'm gonna be somebody
I'm gonna prove myself
I'm gonna make myself count
And if you try to put me inside this box
I'll fight my way out
I may not be the best looking kid
And I may not be the brightest
And yes my room is in a mess
And I've had tonsillitis
But all my dad cares about is that he gets his beer
And all my mum cares about is that I comb my hair
I know there’s got to be more to life
I'll not live in their box
This life sux!
Don’t you call me disadvantaged
Coz I don’t care what you say
I don’t care what you think
I don’t need my parents

If you wanna have fun and live life in the sun
It will take lots and lots of work but it will be worth it son
You can have a flash house and drive a flash car
And have a flash boat - a yacht if you prefer
A big fat oyster is what your world will be
And you will say all I need is me
The power is within me - it’s been there all the time
I have made a life for myself
So, why don’t we sing our anthem?
I’m gonna be rich
I’m gonna change the world
I’m gonna drive a Holden
I will not live in a slum
I don’t wanna be a bum
I wanna have fun in the sun
Can things change? Can things improve?
I'm doing fine all the time
Nothing wrong, so I wrote this song
Things are great, coz I'm gonna be rich mate
Coz I got me education
Deep down inside my wallet
There is money plenty of it
Deep down, inside my soul
There is sadness like a big hole
So, why don’t we sing our anthem?
I’m gonna be rich
I’m gonna change the world
I’m gonna drive a Holden
I will not live in a slum
I don’t wanna be a bum
I wanna have fun in the sun
Can things change? Can things improve?
God of nations at thy feet, we do not bow or meet
We want money, house, car, boat, fame,
And they’re ours if we use our brain
I've got a bachelor in economics and a doctorate in physics
But the only letters that describe me are the letters M, and the letter T
I'm the big man the CEO big office and cash flow
But the only letters that describe me are the letters M and T, coz I'm empty
So, why don’t we sing our anthem?
I’m gonna be rich
I’m gonna change the world
I’m gonna drive a Holden
I will not live in a slum
I don’t wanna be a bum
I wanna have fun in the sun
Can things change? Can things improve?

This is our drinking song - here comes another one, just like the other one
This is our drinking song - down it, down it, yeah
Get on that dancing floor - finish off the day in the right way
Party hard and party more - at the end of a hard day
Want a break from the stress
Break the mould take a rest
Kick back have some fun
Life’s for living and it’s just beginning
This is our drinking song - here comes another one, just like the other one
This is our drinking song - down it, down it, yeah
Get on that dancing floor - finish off the day in the right way
Party hard and party more - at the end of a hard day
Spend your money at the bar
Hide from who you really are
Don’t let the hurt go
Just one more before you go
This is our drinking song - here comes another one, just like the other one
This is our drinking song - down it, down it, yeah
Get on that dancing floor - finish off the day in the right way
Party hard and party more - at the end of a hard day
A throbbing head’s the only sound
Back the same way it went down
Just a kiss that went too far
Don’t remember who the hell you are
Won’t remember the next day
Who cares anyway?
The motto doesn’t change:
GO HARD OR GO HOME!
This is our drinking song - here comes another one, just like the other one
This is our drinking song - down it, down it, yeah
Get on that dancing floor - finish off the day in the right way
Party hard and party more - at the end of a hard day

Preacher Man
03:16
|

I was walking to work
And there on the side of the street
Was a preacher man - a preacher man
Speaking loud
So everybody could hear
Above the crowd - above the crowd
The end is nigh, there is a god up in the sky who loves you
The end is nigh, there is a god who came to earth died for you
What an idiot
I hope that he’s wrong
I don’t want to die - don’t want to die
But what if he’s right
Could this be what I've
Been looking for - been looking for
The end is nigh, there is a god up in the sky who loves you
The end is nigh, there is a god who came to earth died for you
Leave me alone - I'm not the sort that needs religion
I'm not the sort that causes trouble
I don’t need fanciful ideals
That others try to force upon me
He could be right
But think what I'd
Have to give up - have to give up
I'll just ignore
Pretend I didn’t hear
I hope I'm right - I hope I'm right
The end is nigh, there is a god up in the sky who loves you
The end is nigh, there is a god who came to earth died for you

I go to work for the money
I go to work for the weekends
I go to work for something to do
When I go to work for you
Can you imagine surfing every day?
Never have to work for your pay?
Go snowboarding when it’s colder
And why not take the helicopter?
Can you imagine your living room?
A stereo with surround sound around ya?
A television with the biggest screen?
More videos that you’ve ever seen?
I go to work for the money
I go to work for the weekends
I go to work for something to do
When I go to work for you
Satellite dish on your roof just for fun
A cell phone for each of your children
Every communication system
Just as a toy in the house that you live in
Imagine having every vehicle that you want
A Harley fat boy as your children's farm bike
Having sex any time
Can you imagine, can you imagine?
I go to work for the money
I go to work for the weekends
I go to work for something to do
When I go to work for you
Imagine all the holidays you want
A batch at Hawaii on the beach front
Sky diving, rock climbing
Walks on the beach at sunset
Imagine kayaking, white water rafting
Free falling off a huge cliff
Can you imagine - do you get my drift?
All this any day of the week
I go to work for the money
I go to work for the weekends
I go to work for something to do
When I go to work for you

Not getting any younger
I’m getting older yeah
From the mother to the baby
From the baby to the child
To pubescent adolescent
Who later left home
I got a good job
And partied all the time
Now I’m ready for a soul mate
It’s time to settle down

I stand back and think ‘how did I come to be here and why’
I have found a lady and oh what a lady, have I
The most I’d ever cared about a girl before
Was how long were her legs and how little she wore
But not till this day had I ever noticed her eye
I stand back and think ‘how did I come to be here and why’
I have found a man and my what a man have I
The most I ever thought about a man before
Was how tight were his buns and how little her wore
But not till this day did I ever notice his eye
But just watch the way that I watch you
I’m a perfect lovesick fool
As I take your hand as I do
I’m not good at this but my love is true
I would love to marry you
And if only you would say I do
Ceremony
Do you take him to be your lawfully wedded husband?
To love and to hold, in sickness and in health, for better - for worse?
For richer - for poorer, till death do you part so help you God?
I do
Do you take her to be your lawfully wedded wife?
To love and to hold, in sickness and in health, for better - for worse?
For richer - for poorer, till death do you part so help you God?
I do
Then by the power invested in me
I pronounce you husband and wife
You may now kiss the bride
This is the day - no longer engaged
All there is left to do is throw the bouquet
As I walk into a life with you
(Speech speech)
Thank you for coming on this special day
I’m sure the cake it weighed a ton
I’d like to thank my friends, my dad
I’d like to thank my mum
This is the day that I cast away
My single life and to go my own way
I am bound by this ring - did I see that before?
I chose this life I know what to do
To spend all my long life with you
No matter what it is we go through

Time
03:55
|

Not as I expected
I'm taken by surprise
Time has passed, where am I?
I've achieved all I dreamed
Accomplished it and more
Role model, successful
I'm taken by surprise
Time has passed, where am I?
Gone further than others
Expected I could do
I was under privileged
So I broke the cycle
So I've been successful
Time has passed, where am I?
I'm taken by surprise
Time has passed, where am I?
I've found many answers, one question still I have
I'm still not satisfied, what more can there be
Angela
You should be grateful look you have so much
How can you complain when you have all this?
Ralph
That I don’t deny and I am grateful
For all of this, and for you now my wife
Angela
Still not satisfied! What more can there be?
You should count your blessings try to be happy
Ralph
Thank you for your words I hear what you say
But what can give life meaning and where’s enduring hope?
This is my conclusion - I would trade it all
If I could just find the thing to fill this hole
I've achieved all I dreamed
Accomplished it and more
Role model, successful
Gone further than others
Expected I could do
I was under privileged
I'm taken by surprise
Time has passed, where am I?

Leave Me Alone
02:59
|

Leave me alone - I’m not the sort that needs religion
Leave me alone -I’m not the sort that causes trouble
Leave me alone - I don’t need fanciful ideals
That others try to force upon me
Preacher says I got a hole inside - HE DON’T KNOW ME
Grandma says I got a hole inside - SHE DON’T KNOW ME
Church says I got a hole inside - THEY DON’T KNOW ME
They all seem to say I got a hole inside - THEY DON’T KNOW ME - I got my own beliefs!
I work hard, and I earn my bread
I’m generous to the charities at my door
I’m a husband and a father
Sole provider for the family that I love
So stop this arrogant self-righteousness
That tries to say that I am less than you
Prideful indoctrination
I see through your patronising lies
Preacher says I got a hole inside - HE DON’T KNOW ME
Grandma says I got a hole inside - SHE DON’T KNOW ME
Church says I got a hole inside - THEY DON’T KNOW ME
They all seem to say I got a hole inside - THEY DON’T KNOW ME - I got my own beliefs!
Leave me alone - I’m not the sort that needs religion
Leave me alone -I’m not the sort that causes trouble
Leave me alone - I don’t need fanciful ideals
That others try to force upon me

The End: Part One

I'm dying; my time has come to leave this place
I don’t want to die, I'm sure nobody does, I guess death comes to us all
I'm wealthy, I love my wife, I love you my children and I'm proud of you
Life had no silver lining
No icing on the cake
Still inside I feel the same
I'm grateful, I had a good life, but I wonder is there really a god?
Did my life count, what did I really achieve? I hid behind this brave face
But what good will this face do me now?
I'm dying and I still feel empty
What good will this face do me now?
I'm not the sort that need religion
I'm not the sort that causes trouble
I don’t need fanciful ideals that others try to force upon me
The preacher could be right
But just think
What I'd have to give up - but I'm losing it anyway
I'll just ignore
Pretend I didn’t hear
I hope I'm right - I hope I'm right

Jesus: Part One
01:25
|

I love you more than you could know
I love you more than you could imagine
I came to earth as a man
I lived among sinful people
Fallen humanity
Yet I never lived as you do
The world it turned against me
Said that I must die
Then they nailed me to a tree
The just for the unjust
Your sin was heaped on me
And you killed me at Calvary
Now the price has been paid
People’s souls could be free
If they would only accept me
Your friends at work they told you this
Your grandma did too
The preacher on the street that day I put there just for you
I gave you a chance
I tried many times
I came to earth to die for you
I love you more than you could now
I gave up more than you could imagine
If only you’d accepted me
|

Jesus: Part Two
02:16
|

I love you more than you could know
I love you more than you could imagine
When I came to earth as a man
Because of your sin I must dam you
Because of my love I came to save you
I took the punishment that was yours
You only had to ask me
And to make your life mine
I gave you every chance
The choice was yours - you ignored
The choice was yours - you chose
There must be a second chance
There was, but you rejected me
But I was a good man
But you were not perfect
No, No, it can’t be true
No, No, I wish it wasn’t true

The End: Part Two
03:07

I'm dying; my time has come to leave this place
I don’t want to die, I'm sure nobody does, I guess death comes to us all
I love you my children, I'm proud of you, you’ve become all I ever dreamed
Life had no silver lining
No icing on the cake
Still inside I feel empty
Jesus, I know you’re real, there must be more to life than this
Forgive me for my wrongs, for not talking to you until now
I don’t want to die without you
Take my life what’s left it’s yours
I'm sorry, so sorry for leaving it this late
The preacher is right
I was worried at what I'd have to give up
To know what I know now it’s worth giving up
I won’t ignore
Or pretend I didn’t hear
I know this is right – yes, I know this is right

I don’t wanna be a bum
I wanna have fun in the sun
Can things change? Can things improve?

This is our drinking song - here comes another one, just like the other one
This is our drinking song - down it, down it, yeah
Get on that dancing floor - finish off the day in the right way
Party hard and party more - at the end of a hard day
Want a break from the stress
Break the mould take a rest
Kick back have some fun
Life’s for living and it’s just beginning
This is our drinking song - here comes another one, just like the other one
This is our drinking song - down it, down it, yeah
Get on that dancing floor - finish off the day in the right way
Party hard and party more - at the end of a hard day
Spend your money at the bar
Hide from who you really are
Don’t let the hurt go
Just one more before you go
This is our drinking song - here comes another one, just like the other one
This is our drinking song - down it, down it, yeah
Get on that dancing floor - finish off the day in the right way
Party hard and party more - at the end of a hard day
A throbbing head’s the only sound
Back the same way it went down
Just a kiss that went too far
Don’t remember who the hell you are
Won’t remember the next day
Who cares anyway?
The motto doesn’t change:
GO HARD OR GO HOME!
This is our drinking song - here comes another one, just like the other one
This is our drinking song - down it, down it, yeah
Get on that dancing floor - finish off the day in the right way
Party hard and party more - at the end of a hard day

Preacher Man [Prax]
03:57
|
|||
I was walking to work
And there on the side of the street
Was a preacher man - a preacher man
Speaking loud
So everybody could hear
Above the crowd - above the crowd
The end is nigh, there is a god up in the sky who loves you
The end is nigh, there is a god who came to earth died for you
What an idiot
I hope that he’s wrong
I don’t want to die - don’t want to die
But what if he’s right
Could this be what I've
Been looking for - been looking for
The end is nigh, there is a god up in the sky who loves you
The end is nigh, there is a god who came to earth died for you
Leave me alone - I'm not the sort that needs religion
I'm not the sort that causes trouble
I don’t need fanciful ideals
That others try to force upon me
He could be right
But think what I'd
Have to give up - have to give up
I'll just ignore
Pretend I didn’t hear
I hope I'm right - I hope I'm right
The end is nigh, there is a god up in the sky who loves you
The end is nigh, there is a god who came to earth died for you

Work Song [Prax]
03:44

I go to work for the money
I go to work for the weekends
I go to work for something to do
When I go to work for you
Can you imagine surfing every day?
Never have to work for your pay?
Go snowboarding when it’s colder
And why not take the helicopter?
Can you imagine your living room?
A stereo with surround sound around ya?
A television with the biggest screen?
More videos that you’ve ever seen?
I go to work for the money
I go to work for the weekends
I go to work for something to do
When I go to work for you
Satellite dish on your roof just for fun
A cell phone for each of your children
Every communication system
Just as a toy in the house that you live in
Imagine having every vehicle that you want
A Harley fat boy as your children's farm bike
Having sex any time
Can you imagine, can you imagine?
I go to work for the money
I go to work for the weekends
I go to work for something to do
When I go to work for you
Imagine all the holidays you want
A batch at Hawaii on the beach front
Sky diving, rock climbing
Walks on the beach at sunset
Imagine kayaking, white water rafting
Free falling off a huge cliff
Can you imagine - do you get my drift?
All this any day of the week
I go to work for the money
I go to work for the weekends
I go to work for something to do
When I go to work for you

Leave Me Alone [Prax]
03:39
|
|||
Leave me alone - I’m not the sort that needs religion
Leave me alone -I’m not the sort that causes trouble
Leave me alone - I don’t need fanciful ideals
That others try to force upon me
Preacher says I got a hole inside - HE DON’T KNOW ME
Grandma says I got a hole inside - SHE DON’T KNOW ME
Church says I got a hole inside - THEY DON’T KNOW ME
They all seem to say I got a hole inside - THEY DON’T KNOW ME - I got my own beliefs!
I work hard, and I earn my bread
I’m generous to the charities at my door
I’m a husband and a father
Sole provider for the family that I love
So stop this arrogant self-righteousness
That tries to say that I am less than you
Prideful indoctrination
I see through your patronising lies
Preacher says I got a hole inside - HE DON’T KNOW ME
Grandma says I got a hole inside - SHE DON’T KNOW ME
Church says I got a hole inside - THEY DON’T KNOW ME
They all seem to say I got a hole inside - THEY DON’T KNOW ME - I got my own beliefs!
Leave me alone - I’m not the sort that needs religion
Leave me alone -I’m not the sort that causes trouble
Leave me alone - I don’t need fanciful ideals
That others try to force upon me

Time [Prax]
04:14

Not as I expected
I'm taken by surprise
Time has passed, where am I?
I've achieved all I dreamed
Accomplished it and more
Role model, successful
I'm taken by surprise
Time has passed, where am I?
Gone further than others
Expected I could do
I was under privileged
So I broke the cycle
So I've been successful
Time has passed, where am I?
I'm taken by surprise
Time has passed, where am I?
I've found many answers, one question still I have
I'm still not satisfied, what more can there be
Angela
You should be grateful look you have so much
How can you complain when you have all this?
Ralph
That I don’t deny and I am grateful
For all of this, and for you now my wife
Angela
Still not satisfied! What more can there be?
You should count your blessings try to be happy
Ralph
Thank you for your words I hear what you say
But what can give life meaning and where’s enduring hope?
This is my conclusion - I would trade it all
If I could just find the thing to fill this hole
I've achieved all I dreamed
Accomplished it and more
Role model, successful
Gone further than others
Expected I could do
I was under privileged
I'm taken by surprise
Time has passed, where am I?

The End: Part One [Prax]
04:12
|
|||
I'm dying; my time has come to leave this place
I don’t want to die, I'm sure nobody does, I guess death comes to us all
I'm wealthy, I love my wife, I love you my children and I'm proud of you
Life had no silver lining
No icing on the cake
Still inside I feel the same
I'm grateful, I had a good life, but I wonder is there really a god?
Did my life count, what did I really achieve? I hid behind this brave face
But what good will this face do me now?
I'm dying and I still feel empty
What good will this face do me now?
I'm not the sort that need religion
I'm not the sort that causes trouble
I don’t need fanciful ideals that others try to force upon me
The preacher could be right
But just think
What I'd have to give up - but I'm losing it anyway
I'll just ignore
Pretend I didn’t hear
I hope I'm right - I hope I'm right

Jesus [Prax]
02:42
|

I love you more than you could know
I love you more than you could imagine
I came to earth as a man
I lived among sinful people
Fallen humanity
Yet I never lived as you do
The world it turned against me
Said that I must die
Then they nailed me to a tree
The just for the unjust
Your sin was heaped on me
And you killed me at Calvary
Now the price has been paid
People’s souls could be free
If they would only accept me
Your friends at work they told you this
Your grandma did too
The preacher on the street that day I put there just for you
I gave you a chance
I tried many times
I came to earth to die for you
I love you more than you could now
I gave up more than you could imagine
If only you’d accepted me

The End: Part Two [Prax]
03:25
|

I'm dying; my time has come to leave this place
I don’t want to die, I'm sure nobody does, I guess death comes to us all
I love you my children, I'm proud of you, you’ve become all I ever dreamed
Life had no silver lining
No icing on the cake
Still inside I feel empty
Jesus, I know you’re real, there must be more to life than this
Forgive me for my wrongs, for not talking to you until now
I don’t want to die without you
Take my life what’s left it’s yours
I'm sorry, so sorry for leaving it this late
The preacher is right
I was worried at what I'd have to give up
To know what I know now it’s worth giving up
I won’t ignore
Or pretend I didn’t hear
I know this is right – yes, I know this is right

Little boy growing up
He’s getting older yeah
From the mother to the baby
From the baby to the child
To pubescent adolescents
Nearing time to leave home
Started going to school
And then he turned 12
Now he can drive
Now he can leave school
