[Intro]
G C G G C G
[Verse one]
GThe dawn arrives and the workers stir another life they’d sure prefer
CThe daily grind lays heavy on their Ghead
GOff to a station out there somewhere working hard but getting nowhere
CWhat can they do what can they do inGstead
[Verse two]
GCarriage is full but it seems so lonely no life is not all milk and honey
CStaring through the gloom as time gGoes by
GThere’s wealth abounding and there’s glitter but most are feeling a little bitter
C‘She’ll be right mate’ is just a con it’s juGst a lie
[Chorus]
The poCpulations buyDing things conGcrete factories spEmread their wings
The suCburbs sprawl their wDay from the hills to the sGea
CFor the kids life can cDome unstuck they cuGrse their fate or tEmheir bad luck
And dCream about a plDace they’d ratherG be
[Verse three]
GSome at night they slip away to town with mates they feel good around
CImaginations running wild on their late night dGates
GThere’s no big heads or names you know just their colours on public show
CGraffiti they leave behind is looking grGeat
[Verse four]
GThe time they give they give for free creating something for all to see
CA concrete and metal canvas comes alGive
GBut at least for a piece of time they feel good and can say that’s mine
CThey get on home before the dawn arGrives
[Chorus]
Well sCome are haves and sDome have nots pleGnty struggle somewhere iEmn between
It’s oneC step forward and tDwo steps back Gnot so easy staying on the trEmack
CAn elusive thing that gDreat Australian dGream
[Instrumental]
G C G G C G
[Verse five]
GA generation’s been dealt good cards childhood memories of big back yards
CLucky to get that now in this day and aGge
GSpare a thought for the kids today so much tougher to make their way
CThey look for ways to get up on stGage
[Chorus]
The poCpulations buyDing things conGcrete factories spEmread their wings
The suCburbs sprawl their wDay from the hills to the sGea
CFor the kids life can cDome unstuck they cuGrse their fate or tEmheir bad luck
And dCream about a plDace they’d ratherG be
[Chorus]
Well some are haveDs and some have nGots plenty struggle someEmwhere in between
It’s oneC step forward and tDwo steps back Gnot so easy staying on the trEmack
CAn elusive thing that gDreat Australian dGream
CAn elusive thing that gDreat Australian dGream an eluCsive thing that gDreat Australian dGream
