Rip Rip Woodchip (Live At The Sydney Opera House) Lyrics by Morgan Evans

Live At The Sydney Opera House

2024

[Intro: John Williamson]
One, two, three, four
[Verse 1: John Williamson & Morgan Evans]
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 I 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: Morgan Evans & John Williamson]
Rip, rip, woodchip, turn it into paper
Throw it in the bin, no news today
Nightmare dreaming, can't you hear the screaming?
Chainsaw eyesore, more decay
[Verse 2: Morgan Evans & John Williamson]
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 are one, go hand in hand
I am the bush like Banjo and Henry
It's in my blood, gonna make a stand
[Chorus: Morgan Evans & John Williamson, John Williamson]
Rip, rip, woodchip, turn it into paper
Throw it in the bin, no news today
Nightmare dreaming, can't you hear the screaming?
Chainsaw eyesore
Give it a go now, by yourselves
(Rip, rip, woodchip, turn it into paper)
(Throw it in the bin, no news today)
(Nightmare dreaming, can't you hear the screaming?)
(Chainsaw eyesore, more decay)
One more now
Rip, rip, woodchip, turn it into paper
Throw it in the bin, no news today
Nightmare dreaming, can't you hear the screaming?
Chainsaw eyesore, more decay
