[Verse 1]
Flat white’s gone warm on the table
News on in the corner
Same old storm
"Someone should fix this
" we mumble
Then scroll with our thumbs ’til our fingers get sore
Sunburnt sky over Parramatta
Talk’s cheap as a schooner at noon
We pass the buck like a hot potato
Swear that "they’ll" step in soon
[Chorus]
Everybody blamed somebody
When nobody did a thing
Said "anybody could’ve helped out"
…but waited for a king
In a land of lucky chances
We just shrug and carry on
Everybody blamed somebody
When anybody could’ve done
[Verse 2]
Fire line creeping up the hillside
Smoke stains the edges of town
We share the clip
Tap little heart-shapes
Then leave our buckets face down
"Mate
I’m just one person
What difference?"
That’s the story we love to believe
Til silence stacks up like brickwork
And there’s nowhere left to leave
[Chorus]
Everybody blamed somebody
When nobody did a thing
Said "anybody could’ve helped out"
…but waited for a king
On this wide
Red
Restless island
We keep passing on the baton
Everybody blamed somebody
When anybody could’ve done
[Bridge]
Maybe it’s me
Maybe it’s you (hey!)
Standing right here with a clear view
If anybody’s out there
Guess that makes two
If anybody’s waiting
We’re waiting on who?
[Chorus]
Everybody blamed somebody
When nobody did a thing
Said "anybody could’ve helped out"
Still camping on the fence we’re on
In the dust and sun of Australia
It starts with only one
Everybody blamed somebody
But anybody
(anybody)
Anybody could’ve done
