On False Idols
Hello boys & girls
I have news for you
Some people like outlaws
They think they're cool
Painters paint them
Photographers photograph them
Musicians sing about them
Poets write about them
But outlaws aren't cool boys & girls
They're criminals & scum
They're robbers & murderers
Leaving torment behind them
Good folk & families in trauma
Bushrangers aren't cool
Bikies aren't cool
Drug-dealers aren't cool
Burglars aren't cool
Hackers aren't cool
Looters aren't cool
Illegal settlers aren't cool
Fraudsters aren't cool
They're all villains boys & girls
Find heroes to worship instead
