Blood money
Coal mining
Blood money
Burn Country
Blood money
Bought election
Blood money
Burn Country
A pack a frothing lunatics
Digging up the dirt
Filling up their pockets
Pillaging the earth
They decimate the targets
They desecrate the land
They pay off the legislators
They've all got bloody hands
Blood money
Blood money
Coal mining
Blood money
Burn Country
Blood money
Bought election
Blood money
Burn Country
A pack of frothing lunatics
Ignoring all the science
Ignoring all the cries for help
You're on a tropical island
Plenty of innovation
We could transform the globe
But you’re debts are to the fossils
And you reap what you sow
Blood money
Blood money
Coal mining
Bought elections
Burn Country
Blood money
Bought election
Burn country
Blood money

TWENNY TWENNY VISION
03:30

Half of the country is a blazing inferno
Climate deniers complicit in the crisis
Climate deniers would be funny if they were not
Climate deniers in control of the Earth
We know it’s money, buys their ignorance
the incinerated wildlife is happenstance
volunteer firefighters do a rain dance
While the ‘servies chasin surplus hold back finance
I got 2020 vision
2020 vision
I got 2020 vision
2020 vision
The land as dry as it’s ever been
They say the worst of it remains to be seen
They say the climate is changing more rapidly
They say we’ve gotta change with it, cease the greed
The curtains dropped and the people see
We’re living in a manufactured scene
We are living in a capitalist dream
We are living in a cruel reality
I got 2020 vision
2020 vision
I got 2020 vision
2020 mission
gotta sow the seed
gotta drain the sea
gotta save the bee
gotta pull the weed
gotta take the lead
gotta sew the seam
gotta make a scene
gotta cease the greed
not one for small talk, but I surrender
The time is now, we need to talk about the weather
The time is now, it feels like it’s now or never
The time is now, we need to work it out together

MURRAY-DARLING

You can’t drink money
That’s what you’re chasing
You kept on sellin off
The Murray-Darling basin
Country's in drought
Exacerbated by
Water mismanagement
In the Murray-Darling basin
We see the fruit
Of their failure
Rivers dry, Temps high
The Murray-Darling basin
Barnaby! You had the money
Where’s all the water?
Barny! You had the money
Where’s all the water?
60,000 years
230 to break it
Indigenous displacement on
The Murray-Darling basin
The systems crook
We need to change it
We can’t survive without
The Murray-Darling
Dead land, dead water of
The Murray-Darling
Dead man, dead walking on
The Murray-Darling
Dead land, dead water of
The Murray-Darling
Dead man, dead walking on
The Murray-Darling basin
Drip drip drip drip
Hey Barny!
You had the money
Where’s all the water?
Barny! Oi!
You had the money
Where’s all the water?

10 MILLION ACRES

1 million acres, maybe more
The blackened peak to the blood red shore
Mallacoota down to Kosciusko
From Central Queensland to Frogs Hollow
2 million acres, and counting
The fire season only just beginnin
Firefighters man the mop
The pollies grab a photo op
3 million acres, burnin still
A government no better than a paper mill
A flame-stoking, kindling service
Trading natural life for a budget surplus
4 million acres, of habitat
It’s not just human life in body bags
Fears for entire species we’ll never see again
Fears of half a billion creatures dead
5 million acre ecocide
The systems running on borrowed time
Coulda listened to the scientists or the First Nations
They’d tell ya that the fire don’t discriminate
6 million acres, can we go back from there?
7 million acres, and don’t you shake my hand
8 million acres, stolen land
9 million acres, when’s it time to talk about that?
Or the climate
We can no longer be quiet
10 million acres
10 million acres
10 million acres
