The second song one Australian grunge icon Grinspoon’s seventh and final album prior to their 2013 indefinite hiatus, Final Reward is a continuation of the lighter, groovier style the band adopted in their later years.
You drove seven hours from home
To the open-ended sky
You made love to the unknown
You got caught and compromised
Since when you left
You walked alone
I couldn't find the right way home
You drove seven hours from home
To the open-ended sky
What have we learned?
What have we learned?
You want the final reward
Last standing with the highscore
You want the final reward
Backstabber till the last chord
They say all roads lead to Rome
On a lonely Planet Earth
They say love's the great unknown
When the roses bloomed in [?]
Since then, we've left
We've gone away
I couldn't find the place to play
They say all roads leads to home
On an open-ended sky
What have we learned?
What have we learned?
You want the final reward
Last standing with the highscore
You want the final reward
Backstabber till the last chord
You want the final reward
Last standing with the highscore
You want the final reward
Backstabber till the last chord
Final Reward was written by Pat Davern & Phil Jamieson.
Final Reward was produced by Dave Schiffman.
Grinspoon released Final Reward on Fri Sep 28 2012.
