Shut Up, Liver

[Verse 1]
Fly screens slam
Sunburnt nose
Same old plan
Stubby in hand by noon
“Mate
You’re keen” — “bit late
I’m immune”

Text from Mum
“Take it easy
Son”
Doctor said the same last year
But the footy’s on and the boys are here (hey!)

[Chorus]
Shut up
Liver
You’re fine
We’re just havin’ a time
Couple cold ones under this southern sky
Yeah
You’ll bounce back by sunrise
So shut up
Liver
You’re fine
Pass that carton down the line

[Verse 2]
Sticky floor
RSL back door
Meat tray raffle
Ticket in my cap
Someone yells “shoey!” — I’m already half-lapped

Back deck yarns
Kookaburras laugh along
Swear I’ll switch to water soon
Then a mate rocks up with a fresh cartoon (oh yeah)

[Chorus]
Shut up
Liver
You’re fine
We’re just havin’ a time
Couple cold ones under this southern sky
Yeah
You’ll bounce back by sunrise
So shut up
Liver
You’re fine
Pass that carton down the line

[Bridge]
One more sip
One more trip
To the servo for a bag of ice
One more “last” drink
Roll the dice (hey!)

If tomorrow hurts
We’ll wear the bruise with pride
‘Cause tonight this backyard
Feels like statewide

[Chorus]
Shut up
Liver
You’re fine
We’re just havin’ a time
Couple cold ones under this southern sky
Yeah
You’ll bounce back by sunrise
So shut up
Liver
You’re fine
Pass that carton down the line
Shut up
Liver
You’re fine
‘Straya’s callin’ — fall in line
