Rip Rip Woodchip Lyrics - John Williamson

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 they 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 

 

Rip rip woodchip - turn it into paper 

Throw it in the bin, no news today 

Nightmare, dreaming - can't you hear the screaming? 

Chainsaw, eye sore - more decay 

 

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 

 

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 

 

Rip rip woodchip - turn it into paper 

Throw it in the bin - don't understand 

Nightmare, dreaming - can't you hear the screaming? 

Stirs my blood - gonna make a stand
