    "Smoko" is a slang term used primarily in Australia and New Zealand to refer to a short work break, typically taken by laborers or workers in blue-collar industries. It's similar to a coffee break or tea break, where workers take a brief pause from their tasks to have a snack, smoke a cigarette, or simply relax for a few minutes. The term "smoko" originally referred to a smoke break, but over time it has come to encompass any type of short rest break, regardless of whether smoking is involved.

    We listen to this song on our smoke breaks all the time here in the southwestern USA. This song is way too relatable because those smoke breaks on overnight construction shifts are serious business! My band was playing a show in Tucson, AZ on the same night that The Chats were playing Phoenix and we joked about skipping our show to go see them play!

    So let me set the scene
    It's 2 in the afternoon and 34 degrees
    The Queensland harsh summer heat
    Had me sweating buckets up and down my street
    It was there I spotted the bloke
    Perched atop of his milk crate throne
    He eyed me off as I approached
    Then he said
    I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
    I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
    I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
    I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
    I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
    I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
    I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
    I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
    So it's Tuesday Morning and my Centrelink hasn't come through
    So I pick up the phone because I've got some abusing to do
    But all I get is elevator music
    Waiting on the line
    On hold all the time
    All I get is elevator music
    Waiting on the line
    'Til I get a reply
    I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
    I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
    I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
    I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
    Argh, ah what time is it?
    Is it Smoko?
    I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
    I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
    I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
    I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
    I'm on Smoko
    I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
    I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
