Reef Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We've got the green light
We're gonna dynamite
A world heritage site
Scientific recourse
Try to keep them so short
Hey, never read the details
Says it needs protection
But we've got elections
Coal-fired erections

We're gonna make it pay

Lumps of coal in our hand
Welcome to tomorrowland

Trashing our ecology
So simply valedictory
Coral reefs are history
Bring on the artillery

[Chorus 2]
It doesn't belong to the government
It doesn't belong to the mine
It belongs to the people
People like you and I

[Bridge]
The sky is a mirror of self-interest and greed

[Outro]
Take them down and throw them out
Vote them in and vote them out
Consign them to purgatory
Cash on delivery
All coral reefs are history
