A drought in Australia
And what do they do
A flash of genius
A great breakthrough
The grey suits
Are with it
They accept
Theres a drought
So free reign to farmers
To do something about
The shortage of water
Keep fracking for they
Can see millions of gallons
Wasted each day
Thats potable water
Toxic, for all time
Just keep on fracking
As the waste figures climb
Cattle and sheep
The guzzling creed
Just keep them drinking
Thats how you succeed
Profit for killing the animals
Comes
When the lobbying specialists
All do their sums
Pat old Adani
On his broad back
Build a great coal mine
More water attack
Waste it keeping mining
Climate change who
Cares about ozone
When profits
Accrue
Who can we blame
Aboriginies No
They can speak up for themselves
As we know
I know the answer
Its the kangaroos
Designed to drink less
Now thats such good news
Give free reign to farmers
Who love killing roos
They love killing actually
For them its great news
They kill the cattle
They kill the sheep
So killing the kangas
For them its a leap
Into the light
Some peace of mind
Go shoot the wild ones
Turnbull is blind
To the real cause of drought
And is clutching at straws
Giving into the farmers
And receiving applause
But in reality
Killing the Roo’s
Is the arrogance in him
And the ignorant blues
It makes no damn sense
All it does is to show
The great world at large
That the Aussies dont know
What it is they are doing
The proverbial goose
Who is laying the great golden eggs
Throw a noose
Over bush angels
What a great idea
Get out the guns boys
Shoot them right here
More murder and malice
Thats gonna be
The answer to drought
Kill the roo’s
Ranging free
Doing their damndest
To drink less and less
To lick themselves cooler
To help with the stress
Whilst the cattle and sheep
Must drink more and more
And live on dry food
Clearly its war
Again for the roo’s
The government they
Listen to lobbyists
More so each day
