Cat's are Hep

Time-Scarred Hope

Meth Town

Verse 1
I called past my hometown yesterday,
And it seemed like you weren’t home.
I tried to call you, you never called me back,
What’s going on?

Every time I see you, you hide your face
And look the other way like I’m a stranger,
As if something’s gone wrong.

Chorus
Meth Town keeps stealing from me
Everything I thought I owned.
I really don’t know how much of this
Is anything I deserve.
All I can do is keep praying
That I’ll survive.

Verse 2
I called by your place yesterday,
And it seems the old crew was gone.
I tried to call you, you never hooked me up,
What’s going on?

Every time I see you, I have to turn my back
And look the other way —
Must be the restraining order, or the AVO.

Chorus
Meth Town keeps thieving from me
Everything I know that I’ve earned.
I really don’t know how much of this
Is anything I deserve.
All I can do is keep praying
That I will survive.

Bridge / Alt Chorus
Meth Town keeps taking from me
Everything I thought we’d learned.
The crow’s feet cast upon her cheeks
Means she’s the one that I deserve.
All I can keep doing
Is keep rolling out of town.

Outro
All we can do is keep on rolling out of town…
Keep on rolling, rolling out of town.
Keep on rolling,
Rolling out of Meth Town.

[Intro – Dub Echo Voice]
Tick the box, sign the line
Your life, your soul — now both are mine.
They say it's “voluntary” —
But miss one step and you're history.

[Verse 1]
Welcome to the program, come step in the trap,
They smile in your face while they're checkin’ your back.
Say it’s for “support” — but the form reads war,
They scan your trauma, then ask for more.

"Do you consent?" they ask with glee,
"To hand over your data voluntarily?"
But blink and you’re sanctioned, no rent, no meal,
They automate your pain and call it real.

[Chorus – Gang Chant]
🎸 Tick this box — give it all!
🎷 Name, date, trauma, next of kin call!
🎸 Papers, plans, privacy sold —
🎷 You’re just a number in their payroll fold.
🎤 Tick! This! Box!

[Verse 2]
Sensitive info? Oh yes, please share.
Your race, your past — it’s all fair.
“We care,” they say, “it’s for your aid,”
While feeding your life into their backend blade.

AI eyes in the resume pile,
Sorting your worth with a robotic smile.
From Caloundra flats to Canberra halls,
They sell your silence through corporate calls.

[Bridge – Spoken Word Breakdown]
“This is a privacy notification —
Your rights may be fictional.”
“This is for employment services —
But only if you're compliant.”
“This is not coercion —
Just a very limited choice.”

[Verse 3 – Reggae Skank Groove]
They got drones in the code and consent on file,
Digitized welfare with a corporate smile.
But what about the trauma they won’t see?
What about truth in the age of CV?

You're not a case, you're a living soul,
Not a stat to be mined for a funding goal.
They track your moods, they flag your tone,
But never answer when you ring back home.

[Final Chorus – Crowd Chant & Drop]
🎸 Tick this box — just sign your fate!
🎷 Data rights sold at Centrelink gate!
🎸 Your consent is now their control,
🎷 You’re just numbers in a payroll roll.
🎤 Tick! This! Box!

[Outro – Dub Fadeout]
Consent… isn’t real… when survival’s on the line.
And privacy’s a joke… if you can't decline.
Don’t be fooled by friendly forms…
You're in the matrix of their storms.
