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
