Go Hard 02:56
No skin on my knees I bend for them but who bends for me? What do I do with all this pressure? I go hard but I don’t get better Go numb cos I just can’t quit So sick of the packets and piss Go hard, get my fill If I don’t then someone else will Go hard but don’t go changing Rip it up if ain’t worth saving Go hard, get yours too Just like they told you to Don’t tell me to take it easy Don’t say fair is fair Go hard or you go no nowhere I wanna go hard every day I wanna make my problems pay One day I’m gunna break this chain of fools Go hard, go Australia Don’t wanna go with libs or labor Inside we’re all paralysed Don’t tell me to take a second Don’t say past is past Go hard or go nowhere fast
2.
Shame Bomb 03:05
You say you love a sunburnt country But it feels like the third degree I got a fever inside a freezer You bought a fat white fantasy Full of bullion and BHP But I ain’t ever been a true believer In your fat white collar crime And the top ain’t doing time And the shit keeps getting deeper The only thing that’s true Is the shame on you Face down in a five year plan A quiet life on stolen land You drop bombs just to break the silence Cos you don’t wanna hear the sound Of a country going down We’re too busy denying the science Maralinga, The Pilbara Terrorism ain’t a fucking answer To a history of ultra violence The only thing that’s true Is the shame on you

Gagging for the win Ice is paper thin Monkey on your back Leather on you seats Ends that never meet They don’t cut you slack King Shit You must be full of it Cos you get out what you put in Get back in the race Or get fucked Down in the muck You don’t look so chipper Level Skipper Take one for the team They live the fucking dream Your teeth are falling out Now you wake in fright Every single night Looking for the exits Shit Crown Power punches down You know who the fuck’s in charge Get back in the race Or get fucked Down on your luck You should pull the trigger Get back in the race Or get fucked Down in the muck You don’t look so chipper Level skipper Dragging your chain for years Invisible to your peers A head full of big ideas But it’s a shame that you’ve got shit for brains
4.
I had a hard time trying get a hold of myself A deep fake living like somebody else I won’t bend for the straights I’m wearing the weight That they gave me More snooze for the ooze You don’t get used You get busy Busy running from the sun In my dreams This night shift is never done Here comes the night Cover me Here come the night shift blues Rip em off, rip em off If the boots don’t fit Don’t wanna kick shit for the sake of it Just keep running Running from the sun In the light you see what you’ve become Here comes the night Cover me Here come the night shift blues Don’t wanna kick shit Here comes the night Cover me I’m done with the night shift blues
5.
He’s a prick in the franger A bastard broke through A dickhead like his dad was Now he’s a boy in blue Bad boy! He’s a prick in the franger He slipped in like a cheat Now he’s rolled outta Goulburn A mind like a butcher His meat’s on the beat Is this what you wanted Is this why you came? You should have come on yourself man Cos mum ain’t to blame Mummy! Cum on yourself

about

Kaputt. is the next phase of Australian insanity by ARSE, who's last recorded work came out in 2019, right before the world truly shat the proverbial bed. It’s all been leading up to this; a six-track blast on everything from climate denialism to crooked law enforcement that will excoriate your earholes and arseholes in 16 minutes of raw power. Strap in.

released February 23, 2024

Kaputt. was written and recorded at Grupo World in Marrickville, on the land of the Gadigal people of the Eora nation. Always was, always will be.
