The Smith Street Band
A Conversation With Your Old School Friends About Negative Gearing
[Verse 1]
I watched the MCC mafia all descend
A dark cloud all dressed up in Polo Ralph Lauren
Was immediately swept up into them
Just out here talking ‘bout normal things with my fellow normal men
Held my hand up to my chest felt it tighten
Poured alcohol all over my best intentions
I was already on the outside looking in
Talking about negative gearing with your old school friends
Talking ‘bout negative gearing, baby

[Verse 2]
I notice stains on my 3XL black t shirt
My purple painted nails are all caked up in dirt
“Those tattoos did you do them yourself? Did they hurt?
Arе you sleeping with the fans? How much money do you earn?”
And I was gonna bе the leader of the youth
And I was gonna be the Jason of the group
But now I’m stuck here making the smallest talk with you about
Negative gearing, private schools
Negative gearing and in-ground swimming pools

[Verse 3]
No one's better at cocaine than these young Liberals
And that’s both true to life and entirely metaphorical
No one here came to complain, I can’t help but feel the same
I will hide in the bathroom and I’ll forget your name
I will hide in the bathroom and I’ll forget your name
