Nuclear Cop

Redgum

Intro The sky is red and the earth is black 1990 and we haven't looked back Load it on a jumbo, send it overseas Got a lot of money now who needs trees ? We've all got jobs now, no more dole Plenty of money now u-ra-ni-um's sold Well I'll ensure supply won't stop 'cause I'm Australia's Nuclear Cop I guard the world and its plain to see I'll look after you after looking after me Of peace and safety I'll make sure At least until someone offers me more We've all got boats, planes and more Twenty-five fingers that's a bore I've got no brains but I'm right at the top 'cause I'm Australia's Nuclear Cop It's never been better in this land of dreams Cake and steak and American jeans Stuart Highway's sealed at last They can get the ore to the airport fast Adelaide galleries full of art Nothing's too dear and for a start I'll come and inspect your uranium shop 'cause I'm Australia's Nuclear Cop They sprinkled the waste around Ayers rock And given the (dingos/tourists) a bit of a shock It used to be a blackmans sacred site Now it glows like a neon light Landscape like a Salvador Dali We all spend our summers on Bali I used to be a farmer till my sheep all dropped Doug Anthony made me a Nuclear Cop Melt down, turn around, where do you hide? Can't let your children play outside Put your Geiger counter near your airtight door Watch it jiggle and hear it roar There's so much to celebrate Living in Australia's uranium state Parliament House is Leukemia Lodge And standing at the door is a Nuclear Cop!
