Its important to realise
\nThat the kangaroo
\nKnows more about living
\nThan any of you
\nThousands of years
\nHistoricity
\nCreation provided them
\nKnowledge you see<\/p>\n
The sky and the land
\nRomantic it be
\nWhen the moon seems to come
\nEven closer to thee
\nUndeniable truths
\nThe temperature here
\nCan be over 100 degrees
\nWhich is clear<\/p>\n
Wild birds likes finches
\nAnd Emu’s and Roo’s
\nThey know where there is water
\nAnd know what to do
\nThey are wild as the wind
\nIn so many ways
\nThey feel the spiritual
\nInstinctive gaze<\/p>\n
The aboriginies they are wild too
\nWhen they travel they walk
\nTheir stories all true
\nAre what lifes about
\nIn this outback where they
\nKnow the lay of the land
\nAnd the time of the day<\/p>\n
Out there the nothingness
\nStretches as far
\nAs the minds eye can fathom
\nWhereever you are
\nSo respect is the word
\nFor the wild souls who ply
\nThrough the outback for they know
\nHow to live not to die<\/p>\n
City life teaches us little
\nUnless
\nWe understand the ouback
\nAnd all of the stress
\nThey have the foundation
\nThey know what to do
\nThey were put here by Nature
\nTo do what they do<\/p>\n
They are the growers
\nAnd they never fail
\nThey sow the wild seeds
\nWith their gait and their tail
\nThe eat the dried grasses
\nThat are inclined to burn
\nThey have so much substance
\nAnd We better learn<\/p>\n
Killing them shooting them
\nAs people do
\nCome with their four by fours
\nHunting the roo
\nWhose feeding not harming anyone
\nThey
\nHave rested and slept through the
\nHeat of the day<\/p>\n
And now all the doe’s will be
\nReplenishing, they
\nAre miraculous mothers
\nIn every way
\nSuch love for their joeys
\nTheir pinkies that they
\nCan make three kinds of milk
\nAt the same time each day<\/p>\n
And why its because Nature
\nOur great Mother she
\nHas given them knowledge
\nTo garden and be
\nFrugal with water
\nAnd able to be
\nPhenomenal agents
\nIn the geography<\/p>\n
Putting up fences
\nAnd threatening strife
\nAs men tend to do
\nUnaware of wild life
\nUnable to realise
\nWhat the great Roo’s
\nDo for Australia
\nThey are good news<\/p>\n
The meat corporations
\nInbumane slobs
\nEntities really
\nThey can use their gobs
\nBut living out here
\nIn the outback no way
\nThey are all molly coddled
\nIn cities today<\/p>\n
Employing assassins
\nTo come with their lights
\nTo shoot only males
\nExcept Roo’s dont have rights
\nSo mothers are shot too
\nTheir babies then killed
\nTheir new borns heads smashed off
\nYea so much blood spilled<\/p>\n
By these ignorant tossers
\nWho fail really to see
\nThat the wild souls that live
\nIn the out back should be
\nAllowed to live peacefully under the sun
\nAnd when they feed under the moon
\nAre not shot by the gun<\/p>\n
Mining and farming
\nThe great stock farms they
\nRun cattle many thousands
\nThrough the outback
\nA way
\nOut of the cities
\nWhere true cowboys be
\nOn their bikes in the air
\nBarren wastelands
\nWe see<\/p>\n
Rounded up when its there time
\nTo be killed
\nThese many hooved animals
\nWhat they have fulfilled
\nIs busting the land up
\nWhich is not good at all
\nThey create yet more desert
\nNone of the wild school<\/p>\n
Works with the mother
\nAs the aboriginie does
\nWho walk with the stars
\nAnd the stories that buzz
\nAround in their heads
\nIn their hearts in their soul
\nWildness is precious
\nWildness is control<\/p>\n
When The road trains roll in
\nThats when cattle depart
\nIts all about money
\nThats at the heart
\nOf man of the cities
\nMan of the board
\nMan of the balance sheet
\nThey can afford<\/p>\n
Everything then
\nThose cattle will die
\nThey were left in the outback
\nTo forage or die
\nThey were ripped of their horns
\nCastrated without
\nAny painkillers
\nThats what lifes about<\/p>\n
Imagine an alien cow
\nOn its way
\nwhether to a slaughterhouse
\nOr Freemantle they say
\nLive exports are good earners
\nImagine it they
\nThey are fucking aliens in every way
\nThe outback is no place
\nFor the alien creed
\nIts the roo’s and the Emu’s
\nAnd goanna wild breed<\/p>\n
Who give back to Nature
\nNot just take away
\nWho live where they were put
\nAt the end of the day
\nThey are part of the great map of life
\nThey appear
\nOn cave paintings
\nThousands of years ago
\nClear<\/p>\n
There they are all of these wild souls
\nThey be
\nCreated and guven their place
\nTo be free
\nThe intolerable heat
\nThe sand storms the thrust
\nThey have spiritual bonds
\nThey struggle they must<\/p>\n
Find in their spirits
\nThat man when he comes
\nWith his loudness his vehicles
\nHis base smells that numbs
\nAnd throws out of kilter
\nThe tangible sights
\nThe bio diversity
\nThe days and the nights<\/p>\n
Its all so forbidding
\nIts brutal out here
\nComplete isolation
\nAdventure and fear
\nA great transformation
\nFrom the glass and concrete
\nOf Brizzy or Sydney
\nWhere no one can compete<\/p>\n
Ringers and stockmen
\nAnother new breed
\nJilla roo’s jack a roos
\nSome do succeed
\nBurnt flesh and bollocks
\nRipped out Just like that
\nPushed around distressed
\nConfused thats where they are at
\nStubborn like hell
\nDo you think they dont know
\nWhen they are loaded on road trains
\nWhere they all go.<\/p>\n
The meat trade is making a killing
\nThats right
\nIgnorance and arrogance together the blight
\nThat is ruining wildness
\nThe outback, us all
\nFor meat equals heat
\nIt drives us up the wall
\nWith the hormones and antibiotics
\nOn board
\nWith the anger and torture
\nNo one dare afford<\/p>\n
Damaging land mass
\nDrinking like hell
\nYes it comes out of the artesian well
\nIts the great basin put there long ago
\nTwenty six million the herd
\nQuite a blow<\/p>\n
To the land and our mother
\nAnd then sheep as well
\nAnd its the poor old Roo’s that are blamed
\nFor a spell of diversification
\nIs put into play
\nBy the Meat Trade
\nWho wants much more profit
\nEach day<\/p>\n
So the fat guts in cities
\nCan buy their big place
\nEat up the habitat
\nIts a disgrace
\nMoan about Roo’s
\nAbout Emu’s perhaps
\nAbout snakes about possums
\nThe world in their laps<\/p>\n
All the while losing their way
\nAnd we see
\nThe shooters out murdering Roo’s
\nJust agree
\nTo the carnage and fences and
\nAnd illogical ways
\nThat city folk do things
\nPart of the malaise<\/p>\n
Its out there its waiting
\nThe cathedral of soul
\nMirage after mirage
\nThats bound to control
\nBut its accessible
\nAnd people do
\nHire their campers
\nAnd set off
\nTo travel they do<\/p>\n
Many lack knowledge
\nThey are not prepared
\nFor the mud and the sand
\nRespect becomes scared
\nWhen they sll bet bogged down
\nOr their water runs dry
\nOr their jack is no good
\nOr the heat is too high<\/p>\n
They have no EPIRB
\nNo survival skills
\nNot enough water
\nThats when the chills
\nGet in their marrow
\nThats when they know
\nWhat its like to be wild
\nAnd yet be in the flow<\/p>\n
The outback is out there
\nIts vast and its there
\nIts being looked after
\nBy our Mother aware
\nShe’s aware of her children
\nAnd they are of her
\nTime has stood still for them
\nWill you concur<\/p>\n
Stay in your cities
\nAround the great coast
\nLeave the wild animals
\nWhom we love most
\nAlone to get on with the
\nManagement here
\nWith helping the trees grow
\nAnd helping to clear
\nBIo diversity that is our thing
\nThat is why Roo’s
\nHere honestly bring
\nMuch to this land
\nIn form and in style
\nThey need to be loved
\nNow for a while<\/p>\n
