The ROOT! Compendium - Lyrics

All lyrics © ROOT!


Introducing ROOT!

This is ROOT!
ROOT! the music
ROOT! the band
ROOT! the lifestyle
ROOT! the future

Spring me out of Caroline Springs, Caroline[1]

Back to mine, back to mine, back to mine[2]
I'm goin' back to mine, back to mine, back to mine
I'm goin' back to mine, back to mine, back to mine
At clock off time I'm going back to mine, back to mine, back to mine

I don't like Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays[3]

Pauline Hansen says there's Christian Muslims, too[4]
Pauline Hansen says there's Christian Muslims, too

I got a predisposition for opposition to this tradition, willing coalition[5]
But what would I know? I still call Australia 'HO'![6]

You've got to bow down and worship the Idol[7]

Shazza and Michelle they got to be strong, yeah
Lead into temptation down in Babylon, yeah

I'm a Country member[8]
Just like old Doug Anthony[9] said,
I'm a Country member

I'm not your demographic[10]
I'm not your demographic
I'm not your demographic
I'm not your psychographic

Deception is reality, when you're stupid

He's good lookin' and he's free, he's got a wife[11]
He's got alot of money, he's got no life
He's a real go-getter, he's insecure
He says he'll love you forever, next week, not sure.

His wife doesn't understand him, neither do you
It's hard being male these days - boo hoo
You bring out his softer side
Despite your G'n'T[12], he'll never lay a hand on you

Yeah, I am Tommy Lee[13]

Rubbish[14]

This is ROOT!
Coming soon to a bad place near you

My iPod's got nothin' on it,[15]
So much choice I just don't know what to do!

I'll get my kicks, when I'm 66[16]
I'll get my kicks, when I'm 66
I'll get my kicks, when I'm 66
I'll get my kicks, when I'm 66
When I'm 66, when I'm 66
