This week Alex runs with the likes of Dylan! Surely Alex's first protest song is a hit right? Right?
Verse
There’s something wrong in the world today
Something worth singing monotonously about
Our environmental white knight Peter garret
And the fact that he’s completely sold out
It used to be that you couldn’t sleep
While our beds were burning at night
But you must have new flame retardant pyjamas
Cos you seem to be doing alright
Chorus
Peter Garret you went back on your word
You used to be the voice of those unheard
Do you remember the time when you sung about asbestos?
And do you remember the time when you sung about mining?
But that was before you sold your soul to satan
Verse 2
There was a time when it didn’t cross your mine
That selling the great barrier reef was fine
But I guess things have changed because
You approved a uranium mine
You used to know what your beliefs were
But you strayed from the path
All you’ve got now is a pocket of cash
And a bleeding heart
Chorus
Peter Garret you went back on your word
You used to be the voice of those unheard
Do you remember the time when you promised not to be a politician?
It never was a written law
But the things that you said lead us to assume you wouldn’t be one
We shouldn’t have assumed
-solo-
Chorus
Peter Garret you went back on your word
You used to be the voice of those unheard
