Rip Rip Woodchip

John Williamson

[Verse 1]
What am I gonna do - what about the future?
Gotta draw the line without delay
Why shouldn't I get emotional - the bush is sacred
Ancient life will fade away

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

[Chorus]
Rip rip woodchip - turn it into paper
Throw it in the bin, no news today
Nightmare, dreamin' - can't you hear the screamin'?
Chainsaw, eyesore - more decay

[Verse 2]
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 as one go hand in hand
I am the bush like Banjo and Henry
It's in my blood - gonna make a stand

[Chorus]
Rip rip woodchip - turn it into paper
Throw it in the bin, no news today
Nightmare, dreamin' - can't you hear the screamin'?
Chainsaw, eyesore - more decay

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

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

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

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

Rip rip woodchip - turn it into paper
Throw it in the bin - no news today
Nightmare, dreamin' - can't you hear the screamin'?
It's in my blood - gonna make a stand
