The Bush Has Had Enough - Slim Dusty

July first nineteen eightyfive a day for history books

We’ll show big spending governments it’s time to take a look

Yeah we’ll tell the tax collector too long they’ve made it rough

They’re squeezing enterprise to death the bush has had enough

The farmers and small business men have gathered on the lawn

Outside our national house of reps on a cold day winters morn

There’s wheat farmers and cowmen, sheepmen and truckies tough

We’ll show the blokes in Canberra the bush has had enough

Yes a hundred thousand farmers have taken to the street

In Mebourne, Perth and Adelaide on elastict sided feet

No more time for talking it’s time for gettng tough

We’re all united in one voice that the bush has had enough

Instrumental

In this land of endless distance where we battle droughts and flood

The goverment soon should realise our fuel is our lifes' blood

We’re asking for no handout just a better deal on tax

Yes all we’re asking is fair go get the government off our backs

Yes a hundred thousand farmers have taken to the street

In Mebourne, Perth and Adelaide on elastict sided feet

No more time for talking it’s time for gettng tough

We’re all united in one voice that the bush has had enough

Yes a hundred thousand farmers have taken to the street

In Mebourne, Perth and Adelaide on elastict sided feet

No more time for talking it’s time for gettng tough

We’re all united in one voice that the bush has had enough
