Dave Reid - The Coorong Song Lyrics

Stealing water from the Coorong's wrong
If you've got a brain, well you know it ain't right
Stealing water from the Coorong's wrong
If you've got a heart, well you know it ain't right

Steal a bit hear, Steal a bit there
Don't take my drinking water away
Feeding your cotton, Flooding your rice and
Getting more greedy each day

Precipitation, belongs to the nation
Not just the greedy upstream
So open up your dams, break your levee banks
Let the Rivers Run again

Let the rivers run
Let the waters run free
Let the rivers run
Don't be - Greedy

Irrigation gone mad, desolation so bad
Time for political reign
So open up your dams, break your levee banks
Let the rivers run again

Stealing water from the Coorong's wrong
If you've got a brain, well you know it ain't right
Stealing water from the Coorong's wrong
If you've got a heart, well you know it ain't right

Over flowing cities, not looking so pretty
Do you live by virtue or vice?
Climate changeability - agricul' insanity
Levee banks cotton and rice

Precipitation, belongs to the nation
Not just the greedy upstream
So open up your dams, break your levee banks
Let the Rivers Run again

Let the rivers run
Let the waters run free
Let the rivers run - Just do it

Steal a bit hear, Steal a bit there
Don't take my drinking water away
Feeding your cotton, Flooding your rice and
Getting more greedy each day

Precipitation, belongs to the nation
Not just the greedy upstream
So open up your dams, break your levee banks
Let the Rivers Run again

Let the rivers run
Let the waters run free
Let the rivers run - Just do it

Stealing water from the Coorong's wrong
If you've got a brain, well you know it ain't right

Everybody sing the Coorong song
And save our rivers with all of your might
