Beat Poetry meets Boogaloo Jazz.
Musically evocative, Lyrically provocative.
Way up North on the Barrier Reef Coral bleaching whiter than a toddler’s teeth
So what does our government do? Build another Coal Mine (echo)
The desert could be full of Solar Panels Sending clean power through every channel
But does our government do?
Build another Coal Mine
Temperatures are rising all across the globe Threatening the species on our beautiful home
And what does our government do? Build another Coal Mine
It ain’t about jobs - there’s so few
It ain’t about a future for me and you It’s not for our children to better their lives
Set an example for the world to strive Short term goals at a long term price
No consideration for extending our life
Fat Cats fatter from their private wealth
Legislation sealed under secret and stealth
Time to give our children a vision to hold
Show the whole world to be brave and bold
But what does our government do?
Build another Coal Mine
Dirty bloody Coal Mine
Another fuckin’ Coal Mine
