Intro – crowd noise, engines rumbling)
Aussie Aussie Aussie
Oi! Oi! Oi!
Yeahhhh—
Elbows a wanker on the big screen grin,
Same old lies dressed up again,
“Vote for me, I’ll set you free,”
Yeah right mate, we’ll wait and see.
Handshake deal, cameras roll,
Selling dreams to working souls,
“We have a deal!”—hear the shout,
But we all know how it plays out.
(Pre-Chorus – build, stomp clap)
“I am your leader!” — YEAH RIGHT!
“Don’t be greedy!” — WE JUST MIGHT!
“No need to panic!” — THAT’S A LIE!
Look at the numbers climbing high!
BIG, chant style)
PUMP THEM UP! PUMP THEM UP!
TYRES AND ALL! TYRES AND ALL!
STRIP IT BACK! STRIP IT BACK!
REMOVE YA RACKS!
LET IT ROAR!
RUN IT HARD!
FOOT FLAT DOWN TO THE FLOOR!
“BUY E V!” — NO THANKS MATE!
“PLUG IT IN!” — “HAVE A CHARG”
WE KEEP ROLLIN’ THROUGH THE NIGHT—
DIESEL POWER, HEADLIGHTS BRIGHT!
“Rent’s not high, just live within,”
Try say that where we’re livin’,
Bills stack up, week to week,
Working hard, still feeling beat.
“Fuel is dropping!”—hear the spin,
Take a step back, look again,
One goes down, ten go up,
We’re the ones still coughing up.
(louder, crowd joins)
“PAY MORE TAX!” — GET STUFFED!
“DO YOUR SHARE!” — HAD ENOUGH!
“FIX OUR ROADS!” — WHEN, MATE, WHEN?!
We’re dodging craters every bend!
(Chorus – heavier, more chaos)
PUMP IT UP! PUMP IT UP!
TYRES AND ALL!
LOSE THE RACKS! (LOSE THE RACKS!)
TRYNA SAVE A FEW MORE DOLLARS, BOYS!
LIGHT ‘EM UP! (LIGHT ‘EM UP!)
STACK IT HIGH! (STACK IT HIGH!)
IF IT DON’T FIT—STACK IT UP!
“BUY E V “— NOT OUR GAME!
“CHARGE IT UP!” — IN THE RAIN?!
WE KEEP HAULIN’, RAIN OR SHINE—
DOUBLE STACKED AND RIGHT ON TIME!
(Bridge – breakdown, gritty)
From the bush to the city lights,
Long hauls, sleepless nights,
Hands on the wheel, knuckles white,
We keep pushin’, we keep fightin’.
“We have a deal…” — (crowd repeats, quieter)
“We have a deal…”
Yeah… we’ve heard it all before…
(Build – drums rising, engines revving)
REV IT UP! REV IT UP!
DON’T BACK OFF! DON’T YOU STOP!
(Final Chorus – MAX energy)
PUMP IT UP! (PUMP IT UP!)
TYRES AND ALL! (TYRES AND ALL!)
WE AIN’T NEVER GONNA STALL!
FUEL GOES DOWN—DON’T MEAN JACK!
COST OF LIVIN’ STILL ATTACKS!
WE’RE THE ONES THAT KEEP IT MOVIN’—
TRUCKIES NEVER TURNIN’ BACK!
(Outro – fading with horns & crowd)
Oi! Oi! Oi!
“We have a deal…”
Yeah right…
“ELLBOW YA STILL A WANKER”
