V1
Silicon Valley such a letdown.
AI chat-bots and a whole lot more
Shooting rockets up to Planet B
Whoa baby what else have they got in store.
…for you
V2
The Far East is showing its hand.
Dress rehearsals in the China Sea
Civil war spot fires in the sad EU
Whoa baby well now it’s getting plain to see.
…for you
PRE-CHORUS
You take a pill to calm down.
You take a pill to relax.
You take a pill to think big
Write it off on your tax.
CHORUS
And all this time sees another term wasted.
All this time sees no one who cares.
…for you
BRIDGE
Gotta sound a bell to wake ‘em up.
Gotta sound a bell to scare ‘em.
Gotta sound a bell to shake it up.
Gotta sound a bell to save them.
V3
The Kremlin’s so into its brand
Novichok drops and a whole lot more.
Practice missiles from North Korea
Whoa baby here’s front row seats to the war.
…for you

V1
Hollow legs and a hat of straw
In a field soaked with your brother’s blood
They say no one’s above the law
But it don’t stop them from throwing mud
CHORUS
Cause they need a straw man
Who can rally the clan
Yeah they need a straw man
Need to finish what they began
V2
Cartoon eyes and sewn on mouth
Standing rigid in a furrow of sunflowers
They march north but turn south
Their sham plans change from hour to hour
CHORUS
Cause they need a straw man
Who can rally their clans
Yeah they need a straw man
Need to finish what they began
BRIDGE
Got to speak when spoken to
(but never react)
Gotta do what you been told to
(but never go back)
Repeat CHORUS x 2
V3
Check shirt and a pair of Nikey’s
Cross the road lookin for that better view
Who’s zoomin who now very likely
A flash rips the joint and splits it off into two

REGARDING EARTH
Tough love in a world of hate
You’re too soon but it’s way too late
Now it’s one thing or another
Ain’t your sister and ain’t your brother
Cool change yet it’s a heatwave
You’re busy giving but you never gave
So it’s one thing after another
She not your lover and ain’t ya mother
And a whole world’s too busy to regard earth
A pack of hyenas with unquenchable thirst
Note to self regarding earth
Note to self regarding earth
Too young to be told you’re old
You’re free-falling yet still got a hold
And it’s one thing over another
Ya suffocating but you ain’t smothered
And a whole world’s too busy to regard earth
A pack of hyenas with unquenchable thirst
Note to self regarding earth
Note to self regarding earth
And a whole world’s too busy to regard earth
A pack of hyenas with unquenchable thirst
Note to self regarding earth
Note to self regarding earth
Hands are tied
Someone lied
Ain’t gonna cry
Gonna run and hide
Note to self regarding earth
Note to self regarding earth
Note to self regarding earth
Note to self regarding earth

and so, what if we as a species cease to exist.
ever watch a light go out.
flicker, stumble and surrender
ever see a person go without
stupid, vain and ever a vendor
and so, what if we as a species cease to exist.
and if so, i wonder what would really be missed.
other than a feeling of what was that all about
other than a sense of deja vu, twist and shout
other than one hell of a ride as it brakes and ends.
other than something no one seems to comprehend.
at a time when time seems to be running out
…running out.

Seventh Saint Australia
Seventh Saint’s songs to date
(circa 2020’s) reflect the political
and social ramifications of current
world happenings – songs trying to capture what their ongoing ‘observing earth’ series depict – socio-political life during the new millennium.
Seventh Saint appreciates that the world’s shifted a little on its axis of late and that to tilt back to where we once were might not be possible
