Blow Up the Pokies (1999) — текст песни (The Whitlams)

There was the stage, two red lights and a dodgy P.A.
You trod the planks way back then
And it`s strange that you`re here again, here again

And I wish I, wish I knew the right words
To make you feel better, walk out of this place
Defeat them in your secret battle
Show them you can be your own man again

Don`t, don`t explain
Lots of little victories take on the pain
It takes so long to earn
You can double up or you can burn, you can burn

And I wish I, wish I knew the right words
To make you feel better, walk out of this place
Defeat them in your secret battle
Show them you can be your own man again

And I wish I, wish I knew the right words
To blow up the pokies and drag them away
`Cause they`re taking the food off your table
So they can say that the trains run on time

Flashing lights, it`s a real show
And your wife? I wouldn`t go home
The little bundles need care
And you can`t be a father there, father there

And I wish I, wish I knew the right words
To make you feel better, walk out of this place
Defeat them in your secret battle
Show them you can be your own man again

And I wish I, wish I knew the right words
To blow up the pokies and drag them away
`Cause they`re taking the food off your table
So they can say that the trains run on time
Another man there was made the trains run on time
