Snakes - Amyl and The Sniffers

Veranda and the hot tar

Gyprock and gum trees

45 degrees in the drought

There was snakes on the grass

When the storm’s rolling in

Billy cart from the tip

Dad did not like the rich

But we rolled it down the hill

It was fun as a kid

Getting toys from the tip

And underneath the dark clouds

That’s where we’d swim

Telephone polls in the cane field

Sweating by the sea

There was humidity

There was snakes at the beach

At the workplace

Snakes by the dam

I was rolling in the mud

I was feral, I still am

And there’s snakes in the dunny

There was snakes in the shed

There was snakes at the house

There was snakes in the chook pen

Snakes at the vet, snakes in the shed

Where we all slept our heads

Where the four of us rest

There was snakes in the long grass

I submit to change

But I know how I was raised

Shed my skin just like the snake

And I worked at IGA

And it was great, snakes

Dad was a craney

And mum worked and studied

I was swimming in the brunny

I was buckteeth and pale

I like work more than education

Doesn’t mean that I am stupid

I just like my independence

Wasn’t a loser, definitely a loner

Working at the workplace

IGA and big snakes

Shed in the chook pen snakes

I submit to change

I am just like the snake

Shed my skin

I’ll like to change

But I know just how I was raised

Snakes, snake

Worked at the IGA

Now I’m a famous cunt

Snakes, snakes, snakes

Snakes, snakes, snakes
