Hollow threats and a great adventure
|
So much business, towns in the dirt
|
Company cars and efficient Americans
|
Three black boys sit in the corner
|
White woman waiting to talk
|
Lots of intention but no understanding
|
|
If Ned Kelly was king
|
He'd make those robbers swing
|
He'd send them down
|
|
Out in the dead heart, tourists and cameras
|
Four wheel drives wreck, snapshots and slides
|
Follow the brochures but nothings inside
|
Heavy machinery loud in the outback
|
Dreamtime developers they make all the sound
|
Where will we be when they leave us a quarry?
|
|
If Ned Kelly was king
|
He'd make those robbers swing
|
He'd send them down there
|
He'd make them stay
|
And we can hope
|
|
If Ned Kelly...
|
|
If the quinella comes in today
|
