You trod the planks way back then
 And it's strange that you're here again, here again

 And I wish I, wish I knew the right words
 To make you feel better, walk out of this place
 and Defeat them in your secret battle
 Show them you can be your own man again

 Don't, don't explain
 Lots of little victories take on the pain
 It takes so long to earn
 You can double up or you can burn, you can burn

 And I wish I, wish I knew the right words
 To make you feel better, walk out of this place
 and Defeat them in your secret battle
 Show them you can be your own man again

 And I wish I, wish I knew the right words
 To blow up the pokies and drag them away
 'Cause they're taking the food off your table
 So they can say that the trains run on time

 Flashing lights, it's a real show
 And your wife? I wouldn't go home
 The little bundles need care
 And you can't be a father there, father there

 And I wish I, wish I knew the right words
 To make you feel better, walk out of this place
 and Defeat them in your secret battle
 Show them you can be your own man again, show them you can be your own man again..

 And I wish I, wish I knew the right words
 To blow up the pokies and drag them away
 'Cause they're taking the food off your table
 So they can say that the trains run on time
