Rip Rip Woodchip |
What am I gonna do — what about the future? |
Gotta draw the line without delay |
Why shouldn’t I get emotional — the bush is sacred |
Ancient life will fade away |
Over the hill they go, killing another mountain |
Gotta fill the quota — can’t go slow |
Huge machinery wiping out the scenery |
One big swipe like a shearer’s blow |
Rip rip woodchip — turn it into paper |
Throw it in the bin, no news today |
Nightmare, dreaming — can’t you hear the screaming? |
Chainsaw, eyesore — more decay |
Remember the axemen knew their timber |
Cared about the way they brought it down |
Crosscut, blackbutt, tallowood and cedar |
Build another bungalow — pioneer town |
I am the bush and I am koala |
We are one — go hand in hand |
I am the bush like Banjo and Henry |
It’s in my blood — gonna make a stand |
Rip rip woodchip — turn it into paper |
Throw it in the bin, no news today |
Nightmare, dreaming — can’t you hear the screaming? |
Chainsaw, eyesore — more decay |
Rip rip woodchip — turn it into paper |
Throw it in the bin — don’t understand |
Nightmare, dreaming — can’t you hear the screaming? |
Stirs my blood — gonna make a stand |
