Album review: Ocean Grove – ODDWORLD
Melbourne party-starters Ocean Grove get weird in both good ways and bad on album number four…
Politically-minded musician grandson has unveiled one of his most explosive songs yet: oh no!!!
Politically-minded musician grandson – real name Jordan Benjamin – has unveiled one of his most explosive songs yet: oh no!!!
The track is taken from grandson's upcoming modern tragedy vol. 3 EP, which is due out on September 13. The five-track release has been described in a press release accompanying oh no!!! as "the third in a series of EPs that see grandson confronting some of the most pressing political and social issues impacting his generation". And if you get a load of the lyrics to oh no!!! ('My president's a felon and I can’t cope') then you'll definitely get an idea of what to expect from the full thing…

Check out the lyrics to oh no!!! below:
There’s smoke in the sky again
So I’m getting high again
take another hit to the diaphragm
I never drew the diagram
How to deal with this shit so I steal and lie again whoa
You’re my dream you’re my nightmare
Life is a bitch she don’t fight fair leave you right there
I was hoping that you notice my despair
run away from the pain while pretending that I don’t care
First they Incite the violence
Turn around and Then they Invite the silence
Burn it down
I think I need some guidance
The kids don’t stand a chance
OLD MAN TROUBLE BACK AGAIN
Fucking up my plans like OH NO, OH NO
IM BACK TO THE BLACK AGAIN
GETTING FUCKED UP AGAIN OH NO OH NO
OLD MAN TROUBLE BACK AGAIN
THOUGHT I HAD THE UPPER HAND OH NO OH NO
IM BACK TO THE BLACK AGAIN
GETTING FUCKED UP Again OH NO OH NO
This cycle is repetitive
Sex rock and roll sedatives degenerates need medicine
spend money for the hell of it
we don’t give a fuck what they selling like we celibate whoa
I know I’ve been a piece of shit
Should’ve learned by now peace need it quick (least a piece of it)
In school they ain’t teaching it
Each of us tryna find release but it seems a bit slow
OLD MAN TROUBLE BACK AGAIN
Fucking up my plans like OH NO, OH NO
IM BACK TO THE BLACK AGAIN
GETTING FUCKED UP AGAIN OH NO OH NO
OLD MAN TROUBLE BACK AGAIN
THOUGHT I HAD THE UPPER HAND OH NO OH NO
IM BACK TO THE BLACK AGAIN
GETTING FUCKED UP Again OH NO OH NO
Gimme drink smoke
Whatever you selling
I’m a sick joke
My presidents a felon
And I can’t cope
So I love the pain
And I stick poke
With my kinfolk
Gimme drink smoke
Whatever you selling
I’m a sick joke
My president's a felon and I can’t cope
I’m in love with the pain
We taking on the system cuz it broke
Woooooo
Oh no!
OLD MAN TROUBLE BACK AGAIN
Fucking up my plans like OH NO, OH NO
IM BACK TO THE BLACK AGAIN
GETTING FUCKED UP AGAIN OH NO OH NO
OLD MAN TROUBLE BACK AGAIN
THOUGHT I HAD THE UPPER HAND OH NO OH NO
IM BACK TO THE BLACK AGAIN
GETTING FUCKED UP Again OH NO OH NO
