lyrics

My dad says my hands are too small for a trade
My mumma says I only got half a brain
But I lay carpet tiles in Footscray

The boys at work yeah they’re bossing me round
One day I’m gonna burn this goddamn place to the ground
Believe me I’ll strike

Red gum we burn our problems away
Red gum we burn our problems away

Two kids down and there’s one on the way
I wanna jump on the V-line to Castlemaine and just go
Jump in the Dam and drink a Guiness

Cos I wanna fuck a girl and I wanna smoke weed
Wanna stop watching Family Feud on TV and just go
Forget about anyone else’s business

Red gum we burn our problems away
Red gum we burn our problems away

I can’t hardly stand I can’t hardly walk
I got nothin left so I talk the talk
And I say - it’s just another day

I can’t hardly stand I can’t hardly walk
I got nothin left so I talk the talk
And I say - it’s just another day

Red gum burn Red gum burn

Red gum we burn our problems away
Red gum we burn our problems away

My dad says my hands are too small for a trade
My mumma says I only got half a brain
Red gum we burn our problems away
Cos I wanna fuck a girl and I wanna smoke weed
Wanna stop watching Family Feud on TV
Red gum we burn our problems away
