[Verse 1]
Paralysed
I'm paralysed
In paradise
Paralysed
And worrying
Won't change a thing
In paradise
My first-world guilt
Makes me feel
Like I really care
But faith without works is dead
I'm devoted to the show, but not the deeds of compassion
I'm full of good intention, but never any action

[Verse 2]
Oh, goddamn
We drained the dam
Now the kangaroos
Are drinking from the pool
Whilst I float on by
The trees can't decide
Whether to lose their leaves
Unseasonably
A little summer snow
And no-one knows
Which way the wind will blow
If you think it's the end, it's only the beginning
Can you spare a minute for hashtag activism?
[Verse 3]
Paralysed
I'm paralysed
In paradise
Paralysed
While the Hansonites
Take a plebiscite
To decide
If I can have a wife
I pay my fines
Taxes on time
But the feral Right
Get to decide
If I can have a wife
If I can have a wife?
Born into hate, brought up to despise
Frightened of a world that's left them behind
