Rip Rip Woodchip - John Williamson

作曲：John Williamson

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 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

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

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

Rip rip woodchip

Turn it into paper

Throw it in the bin

Don't understand

Nightmare dreaming

Can't you hear the screaming
