Our total inflexibility
\nAnd intolerance has shown
\nThat we inflict upon the land
\nDamage thats full blown
\nOur quest to control the animals
\nTo farm them as we do
\nAnd subjugate their husbandry
\nWhich is whats been done
\nAll through<\/p>\n
We must try to understand
\nAnd realise that GAIA knew
\nWhen she placed the animals
\nShe knew the kangaroo
\nSoft footed thus more suitable
\nFor the dry terrain
\nBut we knew best for with sheep and cattle
\nWe were bound to gain<\/p>\n
We oppress and we intimidate
\nThe swollen head brigade
\nArrogance personified
\nWe want to be paid
\nWe seem to overlook the wild environment
\nAnd we
\nFeel the self importance
\nAnd of course our vanity<\/p>\n
Pasture became desert
\nAnd then wasteland everywhere
\nWe introduced the rabbits
\nAnd the rats came too to share
\nCats man seems to know so much
\nBut was ignorant as hell
\nNeglecting the poor kangaroo
\nAnd shooting them as well<\/p>\n
Fences to contain the rabbits
\nSoon found emu’s lost
\nKangaroo’s caught up on fences
\nLives once more were tossed
\nOne good thing we did for them
\nDug water bores and they
\nHave flourished with the permanency
\nOf water every day<\/p>\n
Its a very hard life for them
\nAnd they are designed to be
\nOut there in the outback
\nIn their arid symphony
\nLiving on what little
\nThe sun allows to grow
\nAnd being persecuted by the
\nNatives as we know<\/p>\n
Making up their stories
\nThat wild meat is the way
\nForward for Australians
\nFor their leather helps them pay
\nDingo’s wedge tailed eagles
\nLife in general mean’t
\nWith employing licensed shooters
\nWho wouldnt make a dent<\/p>\n
In numbers to be honest
\n3 million or so a year
\nThe road kill and predation
\nFor the industry it was clear
\nThe meat trade it was lucrative
\nWhich seemed The thing to do
\nExport markets growing
\nprofits for a few<\/p>\n
The corporates were in there
\nThe shooters licensed they
\nWere out there with their spotlights
\nMurdering every day
\nBut the process isnt clean at all
\nFilthy dirty trucks
\nNo real sanitation
\nThey will not spend the bucks<\/p>\n
And with Nobody watching
\nThe inspectorate dont care
\nAs long as they bring bodies back
\nThey could come from anywhere
\nAnd when nobody is looking
\nCruelty is rife
\nAnd joeys and the pinkies
\nEnd up on the knife<\/p>\n
Or beaten against the bull bars
\nOr just crushed under foot
\nThis is bloody awful
\nHowever it is put
\nThey call it collateral damage
\nIts torture greviously
\nThe pain the mothers suffer
\nIt just should never be<\/p>\n
On film you see them laughing
\nHeartless shameful gits
\nTotally uncultured
\nVulgarity that fits
\nFoul mouthed and vitriolic
\nMischief makers they
\nThey are just wrong doers
\nIn every single way<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
