about

All money you give us for this song will go to fire relief charities in Australia.

Sydney artists Wifey, Peachfield and Rhyen collaborated to write a song about their country being on fire for the foreseeable future.

lyrics

We're having Christmas in July
Cuz the East Coast is on fire
As it's going Cuckoo
You fly off to Honolulu
And leave us on this burning rock
This rickety timebomb
As grown men cry for rain
From your campaign trail

Chorus: Can't stand up for burning down
He don't get paid to stand around
Looking at some shit hole town
While you go broke hosing it down.

There’s a red light in the sky that says the tanks are running dry, but it’s your costs we’re cutting if we refill them with our money, and you act like there’s two sides to the science you deny, but won’t it all just fade away if you don’t try d-d-dig what we all say?

Chorus

Bring out your dead
and he'll hose it down
Bring out your facts and figures and he'll hose it down
Bring out your rising tides
He'll hose it down
Bring out the ghost of Christmas yet to come

Is the burning bush a sign?
This piece of coal burns in my eye
Strike a test match as distraction
From the ashes rise this faction
The refrain ‘well we need the rain’
Rumoured it could never rain again
Masking babies, holding hands
Can we catch ‘Shark One’ to your promise land
