Firestorm
by The Tydon Docks
Gina says, that the planet's climate has been changing for thousands of years
Gina calls carbon dioxide merely "plant food".
And when Gina talks, a lot of people listen to what lovely Gina says,
Because Gina has 20 billion dollars
Gina uses her money well - sponsors "Lord" Monkton's speaking tours
She has a TV network and newspaper - so she can let us know what's on her mind
She admires African miners who work for $2 a day
A monument to humanity, is our Gina
And we keep digging up coal
And burning that coal
And selling that coal
Keep digging up coal
Big Clive thinks his industry is the victim of a plot by the CIA
And in his spare time he builds dinosaurs
Big Clive is a Big Queenslander who wants us all to share in a Bigger Pie
Well Clive, that's fine - but don't fuck up the Barrier Reef
Old King Coal is a greedy old cunt
Yes, greedy old cunts are they
Let's dig it all up
And make a quick buck
leave someone else to pay
But how many more firestorms, must we see in Victoria?
How many more years of flood on the Balonne and the Condamine?
How many more deluges rushing down the Lockyer?
How many more giant cyclones bearing down on Innisfail?
How many more "angry summers"?
How many more angry summers will it take
before people stop listening to
the stupid things that Gina says
the stupid things that Big Clive says
the fucking stupid things that Bolty says
that Jonesy says, "Lord" Monkton says, and Plimer says
the stupid things that Gina says
