1.	Montague Street Bridge (Lorry Killer) 01:54	lyrics	buy track
700,000 dollars and still it's just the same Put up all the signage, it ain't them who ya blame Crashing of a tradie's lorry again and again and again Montague Street Bridge, South Melbourne's famous killer Montague Street Bridge, gives any tradie shivers Traffic is held up again another one in the trap Another crash this arvo, another one for the scrap Kevo lost his van again couldn't leave a big enough gap Compacting aluminium is crunching in the street Your maths was never strong, stronger than concrete You thought that you could make it, you thought that you could cruise But you've wasted a few thousand and you're all over the news Montague Street Bridge, South Melbourne's famous killer Montague Street Bridge, gives any tradie shivers
2.	Task Force 02:01	lyrics	buy track
If he sees another kid with a mullet, he'll kick his fuckin' head off If he sees you dancing to the music, he'll beat you to a pulp He's in the Task Force (Task Force, Task Force) He's in the Task Force (Task Force, Task Force) He's in the Task Force (Task Force, Task Force) He's in the Task Force, he's in the task force now If he says "I wanna check your bag mate", he'll kick you to the floor If he says "I can't let you in mate", you'll spend the night in jail He's in the Task Force (Task Force, Task Force) He's in the Task Force (Task Force, Task Force) He's in the Task Force (Task Force, Task Force) He's in the Task Force, he's in the task force now He's in the Task Force (Task Force, Task Force) He's in the Task Force (Task Force, Task Force) He's in the Task Force (Task Force, Task Force) He's in the Task Force, he's in the task force now
3.	TV News 02:01	lyrics
I turned on the TV and what did I see? Gormless politicians staring back at me I just don't care if they "rule this land" All that I can try to do is try and make my stand I'm so bored I'm so bored I'm so bored of the TV News Every time's the same, same old shit I just don't know how they keep on with it Why can't it change, this drab situation? It'd be much better if the pressure's off the nation I'm so bored I'm so bored I'm so bored of the TV News I'm so bored I'm so bored I'm so bored of the TV News I'm so bored I'm so bored I'm so bored of the TV News
4.	Hand Grenade In Hebden Bridge 05:18	lyrics	buy track
Nothing ever happens 'round here And now the bomb squad give the all clear Police and army are in town For once some shit is going down Hand Grenade In Hebden Bridge Hand Grenade In Hebden Bridge It's an explosive device For once it won't be so nice It's been there since the Second World War Coppers are all knocking on the doors Hand Grenade In Hebden Bridge Hand Grenade In Hebden Bridge Grenade in the river Grenade in the river Grenade in the river Grenade in the river Grenade in the river Grenade in the river Grenade in the river Grenade in the river Hand Grenade In Hebden Bridge Hand Grenade In Hebden Bridge
