The Boys Are Killing Me

Back in early '96 in North-West Australia I wondered why you Were lying on the street Accidents inflicted on An innocent child In the home, while I was on the see-saw I was in the garden Reading Papillion Telling myself real people Couldn't be so cruel She said, "Honey, what's wrong?" I said, "Babe, what's right?" I'm lucky I'm lucky I'm lucky just to sleep at night So we linked arms, and We staggered off into the night Drunk, but overjoyed Just to be employed By the boys The boys are killing me I'm just a sailor and a miner I'm coming as I even If you tell me I'm a liar The boys are killing me I'm just a sailor and a miner Mantajarra Walyakarra Take a deep breath And hold your fire Gesticulating wildly and Passionate at cars Parked in the dark on the street I would've fallen in a hole If you didn't have My shoulders tight I was swaying like a see-saw If that's what it is to trust Another then you got it all But I don't know if I can trust my country anymore She said, "Honey, what's wrong?" I said, "Babe, what's right?" So we staggered off into the night Drunk, but overjoyed just to be employed By the boys The boys are killing me I'm just a sailor and a miner I'm coming as I even If you tell me I'm a liar The boys are killing me I'm just a sailor and a miner Mantajarra Walyakarra Take a deep breath and hold your fire
