about

Byronized is a comedic yet truthful social commentary on the gentrification and current state of Australia's former hippie capital Byron Bay.
A tale of a young woman who moves from the city into 'The Shire' to chase a dream of the quiet, peaceful small town life only to face the harsh reality of a gentrified, frantic and intense Byron Bay experience.

We are so happy to finally share this song and video with you all! The second single form our upcoming body of work 'Crime Time TV'. Stay tuned.

lyrics

So ya headin’ to the shire
With a burning desire
Get away from the city
And live on the land

Lets see what ya find
What did you have in mind?
A town full of hippies?
Basking in the sun and the sand?

Well make no mistake
The shire used to be great
But it’s gotten quite shitty
Thanks to all the developed land

But you’ve moved into town
And your smiles turned to frowns
And im so sorry
Byron bay didnt turn out like you planned

Ya got
Rubbish in the streets
STD’s in ya sheets
Overpriced linen shirts
Needles in the dirt
Getting dropped at the pass
Fist fights at top park
Organic Free Range
That blokes acting strange

Ya got
Buskers playin non-stop
Strip searched by the cops
Being sold bad drugs
Handing out free hugs
Ya always scared at night
Theres an Eshay with a knife
Broken glass in the dunny
“Ay brah, give us your money”


Ya got

Gentrified pubs
Date rape capital clubs
Too much gel in ya hair
Radiation in the air

Ya rents through the roof
And ya can’t see the truth
Cos you’ve been
Byronized

Byronized
Byronized
Open your 3rd eye
And come to Byron Bay
