[Intro]

You can't gauge this

Can't gauge this

You can't gauge this

[Chorus]

WA anthem's written for pages and pages

Matty B, always microphone courageous

WA anthem's written for pages and pages

Matty B, always microphone courageous

[Verse 1]

Well, I'm courageous, grab the microphone and slay this

Rhyme outrageous

Richard Court's and his MP's, a bunch of sadists

Never hesitating to get their palms greased

And make sure any threatening element deceased

Increase hardship for the common West Australian

Wе're tryna make ends meet whilе Richard Court's out playing golf and sailing

Mum said, "Get an education

Or your situation in the future will be clouded with financial frustration"

Maybe I shoulda listened to what she had to say

And maybe right now, wouldn't be feelin' this way

But I don't mind because it made me grab the mic one day

And I'm a political predator, and guys like Richard Court are my prey

I speak the truth without a moment's hesitation

Or regret the wheel's of capitalism

Oiled with the common man's sweat, blood and tears

He pays his rent and has a feed and if he's lucky, he gets a couple beers

Never seem to get ahead despite working his guts out for years and years

It's outrageous, yeah, it's outrageous

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]

Well I saw this girl the other day that I used to know

She looked as sick as a dog and she talked real slow

She was at the bus stop, nodding off every couple of minutes

She'd lost all dignity, self-esteem had diminshed

She didn't recognize me, that was sad because we were friends in school

Probably left halfway through year ten and hooked up with some smackhead fool

It's happening everywhere you look, shoulda had her head in the books

Instead of hanging around with heroin crooks

But I can't talk, I never did my TEE

An angry young man with a bad case of A.D.D

It's still sad when you look around at WA

And all of its youth in a drug-riddled decay

We need to look to the future, forget our past

Need to elevate positively if we're gonna last

And there's no future in being a smack dealer's latest victim and I say this

Because I'm microphone courageous

[Chorus]

WA anthem's written for pages and pages

Matty B, always microphone courageous

WA anthem's written for pages and pages

Matty B, always microphone courageous

WA anthem's written for pages and pages

Matty B, always microphone courageous

WA anthem's written for pages and pages

Matty B, always microphone courageous

[Verse 3]

Well I have the noise of a percussionist, guitarist, and bassist

Never judge a book by its cover, that's right, I'm not a racist

I'm not a facist, I'm a rationalist

Got a hit out on Jack Van Tongeren and any other nationalist

So go on skinhead, keep on ranting and raving

I've got a hit out on all of your boys

And your sister, Pauline Hanson

All you do is bring discrimination and aggravation

To a great brown land, with multi-cultural occupation

I articulate my rhymes clearly

MCs fear me

Young girls endear me

And my mates in the pub cheer me

Encouragement when I'm rhyming

You can hear my politics from your head to your stomach lining

I think it's outrageous, it's outrageous (It's outrageous, it's outrageous)

[Chorus]

WA anthem's written for pages and pages

Matty B, always microphone courageous

WA anthem's written for pages and pages

Matty B, always microphone courageous

WA anthem's written for pages and pages

Matty B, always microphone courageous

WA anthem's written for pages and pages

Matty B, always microphone courageous

[Outro]

Yes

Yeah, 'cause I'm courageous (You're courageous)

Outrageous

You can't gauge this (Can't gauge this)

You can't gauge this

I never bite, I'm not a plagiarist

You can't gauge this

Can't gauge this

Can't gauge this
