Artist/Band: Midnight Oil
Lyrics for Song: Redneck Wonderland
Lyrics for Album: Essential Oils [2012]



I don't want to run I don't want to stay

Cos everything that's near and dear is old

And in the way

Emergency has gone, apathy rolling on

Time to take a stand

Redneck wonderland



Got you in my sights, spotlit by the fence

If it's love you're faking it's just common sense

Brick and tile for miles, rolling in the aisles

Rifle in my hand

Redneck wonderland



Well the streets are clean, nothing gets away

I can see the beauty treatment draining from

Your face

It is vision free, It's poor bugger me

Something less than grand

Redneck wonderland


Redneck Wonderland

Midnight Oil's "Redneck Wonderland" stands as a potent addition to their discography, reflecting the band's enduring commitment to Australian identity and social commentary. Recorded for the 2012 compilation "Essential Oils," the track exemplifies the group's signature blend of punk energy and melodic rock, often characterized by bass-driven rhythms and anthemic choruses. The song continues the tradition of addressing rural life and cultural stereotypes within the Australian context, a recurring theme in their catalogue that spans decades. By weaving together gritty realism with catchy hooks, the recording reinforces the band's legacy as a defining voice in Australian rock, capable of capturing the complexities of regional life while maintaining universal appeal.
