Clean Up Our Own Backyard - Slim Dusty[00:00:01]

There's an old rhyme that pits[00:00:09]

Out time take it for what it's worth[00:00:11]

Things are crook at Tallarook[00:00:15]

And there ain't no work in Burke[00:00:17]

But we still find room for the many[00:00:20]

Who come a-knockin' at our door[00:00:22]

And we sell our wide brown[00:00:25]

Acres without a second thought[00:00:27]

Some will say we are building[00:00:31]

A nation rich and strong[00:00:34]

But if you take a closer look at[00:00:36]

It perhaps we've got it wrong[00:00:39]

Makes you think maybe we're[00:00:43]

A bit crazy doing it quite so hard[00:00:45]

Shouldn't be a crime to take the time[00:00:48]

To clean up our own backyard [00:00:51]

In the country towns and the land around[00:01:04]

In the city streets and slums[00:01:06]

The dreamtime lore has gone before[00:01:09]

And the walkabout is done[00:01:12]

On the streets at night you see[00:01:14]

The plight of our old ones and our young[00:01:16]

And the Salvo refugge overflows[00:01:19]

But still the people come[00:01:22]

Just a little drop of caring in[00:01:25]

An ocean of neglect[00:01:28]

Can't stem the tide of anger from[00:01:31]

The lost and dispossessed [00:01:34]

In the land of promise keepin'[00:01:37]

Our promise gets to be too hard[00:01:39]

Shouldn't be a crime to take the time[00:01:42]

To clean up our own backyard[00:01:45]

Make you think maybe we're[00:01:58]

A bit crazy doing it quite so hard[00:02:00]

Shouldn't be a crime to take the time[00:02:04]

To clean up our own backyard[00:02:07]
