The History of Western Civilisation Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You can build an abattoir on Anzac Cove
You can invade Poland, scream, "Death to the foe!"
You can cut the ozone layer down by thirds
Just don't come from the western suburbs
You go to the disco, the bouncer's a beast
"You go on in," he says to the boys from the East
You got to stay outside with the common herd
Just don't come from a western suburb

[Pre-Chorus]
Just don't come from the western suburbs (Out west)
Just don't come from the western suburbs

[Verse 2]
Support the Olympics? What a load of merde
Marry the ugly Ugg-booted birds
You're the only one who gets what you deserve
Just don't come from a western suburb

[Pre-Chorus]
Just don't come from the western suburbs (Out west)
Just don't come from the western suburbs (Out west)
Just don't come from the western suburbs (Out west)
Just don't come from the western suburbs
[Chorus]
Way out west, wa-aaay out west
Way out west, wa-aaay out west

[Verse 3]
You can get your education down at the Tech
You can never have heard of the proletariat
Never been there, of course, it's what I'd heard
I never came from a western suburb

[Chorus]
Way out west, wa-aaay out west
Way out west, wa-aaay out west
Way out west, wa-aaay out west
Way out west, wa-aaay out west

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
