Waking from australian dream

+ waking from australian dream +
Someone wound my guts in knots
Intestines tangled and twisted
Set a rock upon my chest
Compressed my head
Pressure cooker living
Escape valves all blocked up
A constant prssure building
Living beneath the thumb
Of constant obligation
To pay mortgage or fail
All the bills marching in
Credit card in the red
Not winning against the tide
Going under for the third time
No escape or relief in sight
Marooned in tortured comfortability
Of the Australian dream.
