about

Track 47 of the 52 songs project.
There's a 120 year old Moreton Bay Fig tree in Frankston, VIC Australia that the council has voted not to save from being chopepd down.
The home owners say that the tree's roots are destroying their foundations.
I think it's appalling that this can be allowed to happen.

lyrics

Well you've got your morals while it helps your cause
But when it comes right down to it all you've got are words
There's nothing there of substance, there's nothing there that's real
You bow to the dollar and you turn on your heel

So don't you stand in the shade
Don't you breathe in this air
Cos you can't have it both ways you know
You're all concern but no care

Your smiles are full of promise but your handshakes are so limp
Your weasel words spin around and round but you don't give a fig
The splinters they will hurt you while you're sitting on the fence,
But that's nothing like the pain of never seeing sense


When you see something happening and you know that it's so wrong
You know you just can't turn away and hope that it gets gone
Your policies and processes, committees and your plans,
Well they're not worth a pinch of shit
Unless you make a stand
