Water Underground

[Verse 1]
I'm still in awe
At how you pulled it all off
And driving through the drylands
Seeing irrigators installed
I think about the coup
You turned the rules on themselves
You engineered that miracle
To free the water underground

[Chorus]
They said you'd never take the council down
But you just found your way around

[Verse 2]
Called it a national crisis
You were in bed with the press
You understood from experience how to
Make it fast and hard to digest
Oh you left them dumbfounded
Unemployable
Chose their replacements yourself
All their science from the cities couldn't keep you
From the water underground

[Chorus]
They said you'd never take the council down
But you just found your way around
Nine years out of power
You had time to think it out
(Water underground)
(Water underground)
(Water underground)
(Water underground)

[Verse 3]
She was one of those friends
(Water underground)
Followed the rabbit hole to its end
(Water underground)
And you knew what it meant
(Water underground)
To get involved
(Water underground)
And the industry couldn't help you
(Water underground)
No, none of the farmers who owed you
(Water underground)
They let you fight in that pit
(Water underground)
Alone
(Water underground)

[Bridge]
But with elections still on hold
With the cattle turning up by the truckload
You can hear the drills working now
On that water underground
The water underground
(Water underground)
The water underground
(Water underground)
The water underground
(Water underground)
The water underground
(Water underground)
The water underground

[Chorus]
(Water underground)
The water underground
(Water underground)
The water underground
(Water underground)
The water underground
(Water underground)
(Water underground)
(Water underground)
(Water underground)
(Water underground)
(Water underground)
(Water underground)
(Water underground)
