lyrics

YOU WERE DEFENDING THE LAND AT
GOOLENGOOK
TIMBARRA
WELD BLOCKADE
LUCAS HEIGHTS
THE OTWAYS

DEFENDING THE LAND AT
LAKE EYRE
BADGER FOREST
ROXBY DOWNS
IN THE TORRES STRAIT
RANGER MINE
THE TENT EMABASSY

ARE WE OF THE EARTH OR OF INDUSTRY?
IN THE FERTILIZER IS TOXIC WASTE
ARTESIAN WATER IS BEING DRAINED
JUMP FROM A PLANE NO PARACHUTE
IF HE GIVES YOU CASH ARE YOU GONNA DO IT
THIS IS A STRUGGLE FOR OUR WHOLE LIVES
BUT YOU KNOW WE GOT OUR ACTIVIST PRIDE

DON'T CONTROL THE LAND THE LAND CONTROLS YOU
DON'T CONTROL THE LAND THE LAND CONTROLS YOU
FOR THE ANIMALS THAT DO LIVE ON HER
FOR THE GREEN OXYGEN PLANT SPECIES
FOR THE CHILDREN OF OUR CHILDREN
FOR YOU FOR THEM FOR HE FOR ME AND SHE

WE ARE DEFENDING THE LAND AT
HONEYMOON
THE MIDNIGHT STAR
BLACK ROSE
WITH SKA TV
HINDMARSH ISLAND
THAT'S LIVING IN OUR HEARTS
