Stop your fooling around [or: Stop them fracking around]

Beds are Burning [not a current song]

No turning back
How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning

Gimme Hope
Well Can-ber-ra they run the country
From Darwin down to Adelaide
They make mining companies happy but
They don’t care about our kids at all
They got a system called capitalism
It keeps the people in a subjection
But maybe pressure will make Canberra think
Climate crisis is for everyone
Oh
Gimme hope Canberra, hope Canberra
Gimme hope Canberra ‘fore the morning come
Gimme hope Canberra, hope Canberra
Hope before the morning come
Killing in the Name

Final: They justify the subs they buy, by scaring the masses with all their lies!
Shake It Off
Hey hey hey,
Just think, while you’ve been getting dirty money
from the liars and the fossil fuel cheats of the world,
You could’ve been getting down
to this
climate
beat.
Our PM’s got a new climate plan
But I’m like “oh my god it’s the same old shit”.
With the new mines over there
changing climate everywhere,
Won’t you come on over Albo,
we can shake, shake, shake.
Coal – Shake it off
Gas – Shake it off
Oil – Shake it off
Corruption – Shake it off.
St Thomas
Bah da bah – Move beyond coal (x2)
Fossil fuel – it’s not cool
Who needs coal when / we’ve got the sun
Wade in the Water
Chorus:
Migrants aren’t the problem x 3
Capitalism is to blame
Verses:
Greedy property investors x 3
Driving up the price of housing
Unemployment and poverty x 3
Capitalism is to blame
We Shall Not Be Moved
We shall not, we shall not be moved
We shall not, we shall not be moved
Just like a tree that’s standing by the water side
We shall not be moved
When the Saints
Don’t touch my arse, without consent x2
‘cos my body is my own
Don’t touch my arse without consent
Yes means yes, and no means no x2
However we dress, wherever we go
Yes means yes, and no means no.
Which side are you on?
Chorus: Which side are you on? (x2)
Which side are you on now? Which side are you on?
Storms surge and fires burn
But you don’t care at all
‘Cause fossil fuels are paying you
Does it weigh on you at all? (x3)
Chorus: Which side are you on? (x2)
Which side are you on now? Which side are you on?
Dirty coal has raised you up
But we can make you fall
You’ve picked a war with our planet earth
Does it weigh on you at all? (x3)
