[G]What am I gonna [C]do - [D7]what about the [G]future?
[G]Gotta draw the [C]line withou[D]t de[G]lay
[G]Why shouldn't I get [C]emotional -
the [D]bush is [G]sacred
[G]Ancient [C]life will [D]fade a[G]way

Over the hill they go, killing another mountain
Gotta fill the quota - can't go slow
Huge machinery wiping out the scenery
One big swipe like a shearer's blow

[G]Rip rip [Em]woodchip - turn it into [D]paper
[G]Throw it in the [Em]bin, no [D]news [G]today
[G]Nightmare, [Em]dreaming - can't you hear the[D] screaming?
[G]Chainsaw, [Em]eyesore - [D]more de[G]cay

Remember the axemen knew their timber
Cared about the way they brought it down
Crosscut, blackbutt, tallowood and cedar
Build another bungalow - pioneer town

I am the bush and I am koala
We are one - go hand in hand
I am the bush like Banjo and Henry
It's in my blood - gonna make a stand

Rip rip woodchip - turn it into paper
Throw it in the bin, no news today
Nightmare, dreaming - can't you hear the screaming?
Chainsaw, eyesore - more decay

Rip rip woodchip - turn it into paper
Throw it in the bin - don't understand
Nightmare, dreaming - can't you hear the screaming?
Stirs my blood - gonna make a stand
