lyrics

Lyrics:

Why am I here?
It’s a joke that I’m not acting like a failure
When I spend every cent
On a dream that’s going nowhere
But when I talk to my family
I tell them things are going better than they (are)

Are you thinking that it’s getting sad?
I know I missed my moment but I can’t look back

Cause I’m just a cop on a bike
Riding down Swan Street feeling petty
When I get home at night
I’ll know that I didn’t achieve anything today

Well here I am once again
Just tapping at your window
Because you’ve done the wrong thing
Now I have to pull you over
But you don’t stop
You just drive off
And I have to chase you down
Got to like 5 k’s an hour
Such a rush until you ask me

“Well haven’t you got anything better to do?”
When you know full well that I don’t

Cause I’m just a cop on a bike
Riding down Swan Street feeling petty
When I get home at night
I’ll know that I didn’t achieve anything today

But tomorrow I could wake with a twinkle in my eye
I might be born to break through and leave this all behind
Start a new life with meaning and ride into the night
But that probably won’t happen this time

Cause I’m just a cop on a bike
Riding down Swan Street feeling petty
When I get home at night
I’ll know that I didn’t achieve anything today

The Rollercanes sound like a normal indie rock band on the surface but there’s always the unshakeable feeling that things could turn at any minute. The Melbourne 4-piece scout everyday life for something to sing about, bringing urgency to insignificance.
