Borrowed Ground - John Schumann[00:00:01]

The wind out here's like a cross-cut saw[00:00:16]

The land is red and green[00:00:19]

The summer sun's hanging in a pale blue sky[00:00:23]

The air is sharp and clean[00:00:27]

There's a frozen moment in waving grain[00:00:31]

Food for a hungry world[00:00:35]

But we can't clothe ourselves with the check[00:00:38]

We can barely feed ourselves[00:00:42]

At night I lie awake and worry[00:00:46]

And the debts go round and round[00:00:49]

Furrows in my night time forehead [00:00:53]

And furrows on borrowed ground[00:00:57]

There's an old galv shed with a laughing lean[00:01:06]

It's kept the tractor dry[00:01:10]

I remember the day that we knocked it up[00:01:14]

With stringy bark and fencing wire[00:01:18]

The earthen floor's been beaten hard[00:01:21]

Where the rain hasn't cut a path[00:01:25]

I'm frightened to look[00:01:29]

Cause I'm beaten too[00:01:30]

And the mice run through the chaff[00:01:33]

And I lie on my bed staring into the red[00:01:37]

And the overdraft won't come down[00:01:40]

And it's hard work keeping your family together [00:01:44]

Living on borrowed ground[00:01:48]

I don't blame your brother son[00:01:57]

For moving into the town[00:02:01]

It's no place here for a bright young man [00:02:05]

Living on borrowed ground [00:02:09]

And I watch all the programs on the ABC [00:02:40]

After the sun's gone down[00:02:44]

Lucy Broad's talking on "Countrywide" [00:02:48]

Talking about borrowed ground [00:02:52]

We don't own this place anymore[00:03:01]

And I don't know how or why [00:03:05]

There's some money-men coming from Sydney[00:03:08]

Who tell me it's only a matter of time [00:03:11]

Well I hope they can read the seasons[00:03:16]

And they're not here just to muck around[00:03:20]

'Cause they've still got to feed a nation [00:03:23]

They've got to feed them from borrowed ground [00:03:27]

They still live on a borrowed ground[00:03:36]

And the other part haven't found[00:03:43]

They got to feed them from borrowed ground [00:03:58]

And the other part haven't found[00:04:13]
