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
G EM D
Rip rip woodchip - turn it into paper
G EM D G
Throw it in the bin, no news today
G EM D
Nightmare, dreaming - can't you hear the screaming?
G EM D G
Chainsaw, eyesore - more decay
G EM EM D - G EM D G
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
