[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Through the mist, the city, the skyline
Down old roads blocked by stop signs
The streets are littered
With jacaranda flowers rotting at your feet

[Verse 2]
Like a switch had just gone off
Like the successful launch of a bottle rocket
He never chose to be born
But it was finally time for him to have a crack at living

[Pre-Chorus]
And I just wanna be
And I just wanna be
And I just wanna be
Be!

[Chorus]
The lowest common denominator
I don't wanna piss off my neighbour
Lowest common denominator
If I pack it in now, it'll pay off later
[Verse 3]
Stocking up on antihistamines
Walking through a field of tall poppies
All your eggs in just one basket
Nevеr let this place get thе better of you

[Pre-Chorus]
And I just wanna be
And I just wanna be
And I just wanna be
Be!

[Chorus]
The lowest common denominator
I don't wanna piss off my neighbour
Lowest common denominator
If I pack it in now, it'll pay off later

[Verse 4]
Choking and spluttering underneath the streetlight
The 747s are littering the night sky
Of the northern suburbs Perth morning sunrise

[Pre-Chorus]
And I just wanna be
And I just wanna be
And I just wanna be
Be!
[Chorus]
The lowest common denominator
I don't wanna piss off my neighbour
Lowest common denominator
If I pack it in now, it'll pay off later

[Post-Chorus]
If I pack it in, if I pack it in
If I pack it in, if I pack it in
If I pack it in, if I pack it in
If I pack it in, if I pack it in

If I pack it in, if I pack it in
If I pack it in, okay?
Oh, woo!
Finito!

[Outro, spoken]
'Well, we're about to pass out. The blood is just rushing to my head, or out of it. Welcome to Perth.'
