Who Cares About the Human Race

anonyme


Text anonymous (≤1981). Tune : « Hernandos Hideaway ».


I know a place where we can find,
Uranium for us to mine,
Australia is just the place
Who cares about the human race ! ole !
 
Exploit it now before it’s banned
The media is in our hand
The public are quite easily sold
They only know what they are told. ole !
 
(Chorus)
Dollars, dollars, dollars, dollars and cents
We’ll sell uranium to France or Uncle Sam
Dollars, dollars, dollars, dollars and cents
Think of all those nuclear reactors in Japan.
Dollars, dollars, dollars, dollars and cents
There’s just one question and the answer isn’t sure :
Where to store the waste for more than half a million years.
 
The government co-operates,
With those that we have learned to hate,
The corporates control our fate,
Unite, we must stand up and fight… ole !
 
Dollars, dollars, dollars, dollars and cents
At bargain basement prices for Australia’s friends,
Dollars, dollars, dollars, dollars and cents
We know whose pockets get the profits in the end
Dollars, dollars, dollars, dollars and cents
But the question that we can not let them think they can ignore,
Is where to store the waste for more than half a million years.
 
(Repeat first verse.)
