tasmanian road song - the magick brothers lyrics

[intro]
people that lived out there in the bush, in the bu— they’re still — theyre s— they’re still there, i think, in the tarkine

[verse 1]
in this land, this land of australia, there’s
only four per cent of our original forest left
surely there’s no decision to be made
about what’s right, about what’s best
something so precious, it’s nearly all gone
still the politicians are inflicting harm
still they’re intent and seem h*llbent on
throwing away what little is left

[verse 2]
and down in the tarkine, read it in the news
they’re building a road that has no use
blatant disregard for the fragile ecology
driven by the dollar, feeding the economy
they’re building a road to extract the timber
the tarkine tigers did their best to hinder
the relentless forward motion of progress
shouldn’t have been controlled by those who couldn’t care less

[chorus]
this road doesn’t go anywhere
this road, planned to build by people who don’t care
this road is a disaster
this road is a bl**dy disgrace
this road doesn’t go anywhere
this road, planned to build by people who don’t seem to care
this road, it’s a bl**dy disaster
this road won’t get us there any faster where we’re going anyway
[guitar solo]

[verse 3]
the thylacine and tasmanian aboriginal
goin’ back since the dreamtime, murdered by the criminals
all the crimes never even acknowledged
the system lacks wisdom despite all the knowledge
how much wisdom does it take?
how many times can we make the same mistake?
we’ve a lot of ground to cover, a long way to go
i really don’t think that we need more roads to get there

[verse 4]
and over in england there’s the m11
and solsbury hill, the stairway to heaven
the dongas tried to save twyford down
fighting for their rights on sacred ground
how much wisdom does it take?
how many times can we make the same mistake?
we’ve a lot of ground to cover, a long way to go
i really don’t think that we need more roads to get there

[chorus]
this road doesn’t go anywhere
this road, planned to build by people who don’t care
this road is a disaster
this road, it’s a bl**dy disgrace
this road doesn’t go anywhere
this road, planned to build by people who don’t seem to care
this road, it’s a disaster
this road won’t get us there any faster where we’re going anyway
[outro]
where we’re, where we’re, where we’re, where we’re
where we’re going anyway
where we’re going anyway
*clapping and cheering*
