Drongo-in-Chief

Intro

Oh oh

Ay-ay

Verse 1

Met a fella

By a dry creek

Had a debt

High and steep

Dust in the gearbox

Rust in the soul

Selling off bits

Of the great black hole

Pre-Chorus

Look at me now

Just a drongo in chief

Trading the dirt

For a moment of relief

Look at me now

Chorus

He said are you from a land down under

Where the trade wars boom like thunder

Better run

Better hide

Take the gold

To the other side

Where the tariff-tax headache hurts your head

And the land of empty turns to red

Verse 2

Stopped for a drink

The bar was bone dry

No ice for the Mango

The export prices too high

Buying up pieces

Selling the sky

Told the old man

Better kiss it goodbye

Pre-Chorus

Look at him now

That drongo in chief

Chasing the crumbs

Of a digital thief

Look at him now

Chorus

He said are you from a land down under

Where the trade wars boom like thunder

Better run

Better hide

Take the gold

To the other side

Where the tariff-tax headache hurts your head

And the land of empty turns to red

Bridge

Empty docks

Empty shops

Empty minds

While the hammer drops

I saw it

I felt it

I bought it

Just to watch it burn

Chorus

He said are you from a land down under

Where the trade wars boom like thunder

Better run

Better hide

Take the gold

To the other side

Where the tariff-tax headache hurts your head

And the land of empty turns to red

Post-Chorus

Ay-ay-ay

Down under

Hide it

Run and hide it

Empty land

Ay-ay-ay
