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, tallowwood 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?

Stirs my blood, gonna make a stand
