about

Australian Made is a blistering punk track that was written about the drummers absolute weapon (not) of a Holden Astra, that rarely ever got them from point A to B. With firsthand accounts of multiple breakdowns, mechanic trips, tow-truck expenses and broken bits and pieces, combined with a satirical take on Holden as an "Australian" company that sells foreign made cars, the song was born.

lyrics

Head to work
Broken down
Now I feel
Like a clown

No fuel
No hope
I’m at the end
Of my rope

Oils leakin
Leakin fast
Now I’m sittin
On my ass

Waitin for
A bloody tow
Then she starts
Off I go

Oh It’s the clapstra
It’s the clapstra baby
Holden Astra
Going nowhere fast

Oh It’s the clapstra
It’s the clapstra baby
Holden Astra
It’s Australian made

First things first
I start the car
Should known
I don’t get far

Into gear
The stick is broke
I never get
Where I gotta go

Turn the key
Something snaps
Ignition barrel
is fucking cracked


She done me good
From A to Z
But now it’s to the paddock to
thrash it til its dead

Oh It’s the clapstra
It’s the clapstra baby
Holden Astra
Going nowhere fast

Oh It’s the clapstra
It’s the clapstra baby
Holden Astra
It’s Australian made

Radiator
Fucken Cracked
Headlights
All smashed

Gearbox
Shot to shit
Head gasket
Is rotten to bits

Alternator
See ya later
Power Steering
Isn’t cheering

Window wipers
Bent as fuck
With this holden astra
Your shit out of luck

Oh It’s the clapstra
It’s the clapstra baby
Holden Astra
Going nowhere fast

Oh It’s the clapstra
It’s the clapstra baby
Holden Astra
It’s Australian made
