Red Gum Lyrics

My dad says my hands are too small for a trade

My mumma says I only got half a brain

But I lay carpet tiles in Footscray

The boys at work yeah they're bossing me round

One day I'm gonna burn this goddamn place to the ground

Believe me I'll strike

Red gum we burn our problems away

Red gum we burn our problems away

Two kids down and there's one on the way

I wanna jump on the V-line to Castlemaine and just go

Jump in the Dam and drink a Guiness

Cos I wanna fuck a girl and I wanna smoke weed

Wanna stop watching Family Feud on TV and just go

Forget about anyone else's business

Red gum we burn our problems away

Red gum we burn our problems away

I can't hardly stand I can't hardly walk

I got nothin left so I talk the talk

And I say - it's just another day

I can't hardly stand I can't hardly walk

I got nothin left so I talk the talk

And I say - it's just another day

Red gum burn Red gum burn

Red gum we burn our problems away

Red gum we burn our problems away

My dad says my hands are too small for a trade

My mumma says I only got half a brain

Red gum we burn our problems away

Cos I wanna fuck a girl and I wanna smoke weed

Wanna stop watching Family Feud on TV

Red gum we burn our problems away
