They consider us voiceless
\nBut we all have a heart
\nWe all have spirit
\nOur wish is to impart
\nOn the goverment here
\nAnd the fracking concerns
\nThat this is our land
\nAnd this fracking well burns<\/p>\n
Us all, everyone of us
\nOur culture our life
\nJust short of 1000 but
\nYour kind of strife
\nWill ruin our water
\nWill ruin us all
\nAnd the spirits of ancestors
\nNow they all call<\/p>\n
To us in our dreamtime
\nThat it cannot be
\nWe are single minded
\nAnd have tenacity
\nFrom Arnhem to the great living desert
\nYou feel
\nYou want to frack on
\nFor the gas it is real<\/p>\n
Mataronka springs and our water around
\nWith so much uncertainty what we have found
\nIs everyone here wants you now off our land
\nThat you poke around here we dont understand
\nWe are spurning your help
\nWe are rebuffing it all
\nDeclining the drilling
\nDismissing your call<\/p>\n
This is our land every clod it belongs
\nTo us in our waking hours and in our songs
\nWe are fighting and will not give up oh no
\nIt is an outrage and our fight will grow
\nThe iniquitous fracking is destruction galore
\nInjurious industry that does abhor<\/p>\n
The sleazy the slovenly tarnished and stained
\nWhen our water is polluted nothing is gained
\nContagion and flesh eating bugs they will come
\nWe dont want this shit and we bang on each drum
\nPlay on our didges and make you lot see
\nThis is our land for an eternity<\/p>\n
Fracking is dangerous its an omen so dark
\nWe have premonitions we know just how stark
\nThis drilling for gas is and what it will do
\nTo our family and friends we know what is true
\nThe bush will be desolate all life will go
\nJust a dirty great industrial pad and on show
\nThe shit and the tailings the methane the gas
\nThe gathering storm that will come in on mass<\/p>\n
Dont promise us labour
\nDont blot out our air
\nDont fuck with our water
\nYou shouldnt be there
\nOr here or aroundabout
\nNo where that we
\nFrackers are not welcome
\nWe dont want to see<\/p>\n
Your frack pads and drills
\nThe vibrations and noise
\nThe trucks with their heavy wheels
\nThere are no joys
\nFor us aborigines you have no right
\nThis is our land so we going to fight<\/p>\n
