\u201cIt\u2019s about Elizabeth.<\/p>\n
\u201cI changed a couple of words just because of local knowledge, but it was 99.999% Troy [Cassar-Daley]\u2019s song, and he played it to me and I immediately felt the connection.<\/p>\n
\u201cI drove through Elizabeth not long after I heard the song, and I felt a pain in my heart for the people there who are battling, trying to make a living when everything is stacked up against them.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s sort of a heartland Working Class Man anthem, but Working Class Man was written by an American (Jonathan Cain).<\/p>\n
\u201cThis was written by somebody who feels the pain, and who\u2019s writing about the darker side of Australia which I never wanted to face before. So it\u2019s like the bookend to Working Class Man, but for me, it\u2019s the real story.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
