Festival State is the first time we have used female vocals and synthesizers. It is one of the slower songs that is going to be released off of our next EP. Essentially it is a song about how hard it is to write happy songs. God bless South Australia.

lyrics

Woke up feeling happy today
I washed my tears away
With lemonade
No eyes are glazed
And my chin is sticky
Are you ready
For the day to begin?

Woke up and there was no rain
Today's looking better
Than yesterday
My head is cloudy
And the birds are loud
Today I feel like I'm gonna win

I can't write a happy song
Without the word happy
My voice is crappy
And I can't keep time
But I'm still doing more, than you

Tomorrow might be lacking
But today is fine
The trees are green
And I don't feel sappy
I could have kept up
The grind if it wasn't for you

It's the simple wins that count
When overcoming losses
Don't take advice from older
People because some
Of them are tossers
Yeah you make me
Feel like I can't lose

God bless South Australia
God bless South Australia
God bless South Australia
God bless South Australia
God bless South Australia
God bless South Australia
God bless South Australia
South Australia God Bless Ya
