[Verse 1]
I remember sickness was forever
I remember snuff videos
Cold Septembers
The distances we covered
The first time on the beach
The cops would round us up
Do it all again next week
Embryonic love
The first time, yeah it scarred
Embarrass yourself for someone
And you're cryin like a child
And the boy who took that from me
Still bugs me now
Thats the thing, it lingers
And claws you when you're down

[Verse 2]
I was far to scared to hit him
But I'd hit him in a hеartbeat now
Thats the thing with anger
It bеgs to stick around
So it can fleece you of your beauty
And leave you spend with nowt to offer
You hurt the ones who love you
You hurt them like they're nothing


[Verse 3]
See, I spent my teens enraged
Spirallin' in silence
And I armed myself with a grin
'Cause I was always the joker
Buried in the humour amongst the white noise and the boys' boys
Locker room talkin' lads' lads
Drenched in cheap drinks and wine bags
Thats a mirror, picture of my old man
To be God the kids a dab hand
Canny chanter, but he looks sad
Oh God the kid looks so sad

[Bridge]
She said "the debt, the debt, the debt"
So I thought about shifting gears
So she wept and wept and she wept
Well, luck came and died around here
I see my mother, Centrelink sees a number
Shes crying on the floor encumbered
Seventeen going under
Seventeen going under, yeah

[Outro]
I'm protected, undercovers
Treat you like you're nothing
And you just become a number
Yeah, I'm seventeen going under
Seventeen going under
