Barbara and Chris Degenhardt’s winning parody song at the 2012 Lismore CSG Idol.
Tune: Don’t Cry for Me Argentina It won’t be easy, you’ll think it strange When we try to explain how we feel That we still love our land after all that we’ve done You will deceive us All that you see is the profits for you Australia is messed up with mines And now you want to frack here too. We cannot let it happen, we’ll not sell out Couldn’t live out our lives with such shame betraying our land, and feeling its pain, So we choose courage Resisting the harm you are trying to do Your offers impress us not at all we never expected them to. [Chorus] Don’t frack with us gas companies The truth is we never trust you All through our farm days Our tough existence We saved our water You keep your distance And as for frackers on our land We’ve never invited you in You think the dollars you offer is what we desire They are illusions They are not the solutions they promise to be The answer was here all the time we love our land and must keep it gas-free. [chorus] (Spoken) Have we said too much? There’s nothing more we can think of to say to you. Except you are not being fair dinkum with us, You are not true blue.
