I am the modern warrior, I fight the urban sprawl
I am the lonely beggar sitting in the Pitt Street mall
I am the western suburbs, jammed up with the bogan homes
I am the hungry monster, built upon greed and sandstone
And when the sun goes down, you’ll see the dark side of this town
You’ll go down ...
Down to Sydney town
Rape and pillage, it’ll take your soul
It’ll steal your innocence
It will take it all ....
I am the Hawkesbury River, the ghosts at Callan Park
A tattooed arm at Coogee spewed up from a tiger shark
I am James Hardie Fibro, dioxins in the bay
Shootin’ up at Cabramatta, having coffee in a Beach café
And when the sun goes down, you’ll see the dark side of this town
You’ll go down ....
Down to Sydney town
Rape and pillage, it’ll take your soul
It’ll steal your innocence
It will take it all ...
I am the deals and handshakes, going down in Macquarie Street
An outrage at Mount Rennie
I’m standing at the Wall, I’m on the beat
I am your local Westfield, an old and groaning wharf
Listen to the ghosts of the colony
Listen to us, hear us talk
And when the sun goes down, you’ll see the dark side of this town
You’ll go down ....
Down to Sydney town
Down ...
Down to Sydney town
Rape and pillage, it’ll take your soul
It’ll steal your innocence
It will take it all
