Wildfires (feat. Ian Moss)

Wildfires are burning in this town

There’s no hope for the future and no easy way out

They had time on their side

Now their time is all run dry

Drover’s soul has long since been gone

Did you think about the people when you moved your money on?

We used to ride on our bikes

Now there’s no money left to buy new tyres

They had time on their side

All the while you were selling 'em out for less than a fair price

They packed up their horses ready to ride

Flicked a match to light the wildfires

Kids are smoking dope at twelve years old

And the agricultural bankers cannot keep this town afloat

I’ve seen boards on the windows on the main street

Now the boredom in the kids' eyes has amazed me

Embers burning, not just localised

Throwing smoke across the land and breaking all the county lines

I’ve seen spot fires in my backyard

Ain’t no campfire troubadours extinguishing the sparks

They had time on their side

All the while you were selling 'em out for less than a fair price

They packed up their horses ready to ride

Flicked a match to light the wildfires

They had time on their side

All the while you were selling 'em out for less than a fair price

They packed up their horses ready to ride

Flicked a match to light the wildfires

Flicked a match to light the wildfires

Flicked a match to light the wildfires
