Lyrics - Bipolar Remedy (Anthem for the Mentally Unwell)

I was writing a song to these three chords n got stuck, and this other song (below) happened instead. Still working on the original

can watch a vid of this song here.

********
voices of self-doubt build up inside of me
paranoia and anxiety
the voices say, "you're no good, everyone hates you"
everyone else is much better than me

woah-oh everyone else
everyone else is much better than me
woah-oh everyone else
everyone else is much better than me

those voices of self-doubt then turn to silence
after that rain then i can see
the voices were wrong, they had it backwards
there aint nobody no better than me

woah-oh there aint nobody
there aint nobody no better than me
woah-oh there aint nobody
there aint nobody no better than me

if you've ever felt down, dark, lost and lonely
and have known paranoia and anxiety
remember this song, & them voices can sing along
sing: "NOBODY IS BETTER THAN ME"

woah-oh nobody
is better than me
woah-oh nobody nobody
there aint nobody no better than me





~SHITTY IMPROV VERSE~
((i sing this song, i'm singin it backwards
it's not about me, it's about you,
oh this song this song is about how
NOBODY IS BETTER THAN YOU))

woah-oh nobody
is better than you
woah-oh nobody nobody
there aint nobody no better than you

woah-oh nobody
is better than me
woah-oh everyone else
everyone else is much better than me

Lyrics - Money FKN Stinks

wrote this at a mates house, a couple of years later i drank some whiskey and fixed the last verse.

You can watch a video of this song recorded in my lounge room here.

*****
when i was young my parents would take me
to sit in the car with my sister and brother
as they went into social security
and when they came out
they always seemed stressed about
having to ask the government for money

CHORUS
money stinks
when you're on the centrelink
money stinks
when you're bloody poor
money stinks
it always makes you think
about how much ya got left
and how ya always want some more

when i go to get some food from my local IGA
i like talkin to strangers but money it changes it
the money always gets in the way
instead of lookin the person behind the counter in the eyes
in the eyes of my fellow man
instead i'm lookin down
lookin down
countin the change in my hand

money stinks
when you're on the centrelink
money stinks
it makes ya insecure
money stinks
it always makes you think
about how much ya got left
and how ya always want some more

Money it seems
it exists as a barrier between
food water and shelter
for vast majority of humanity
so the best way to fix the class war
between the rich and the poor
is to get rid of the money (the cash!)
burn down the banks
so we can all have more


money stinks
when you're on the centrelink
money stinks
when you're fuckin poor
money stinks
it always makes you think
about how much ya got left
and how ya always want some more
