Start Jamming...
[E] [A] [G]
Sky is red and the earth is black,
Ninety-ninety and we haven't looked back.
Loaded on a jumbo, let's take it overseas,
Got a lot of money now who [C] needs three?
Look [D] across now, no more [G] dull,
Plenty of money, now [D] you're ready and sold.
[C] Well I'll [D] insure supply, won't [G] stop,
The dying Australia's nuclear [D] cop.
Well [G] I guard the world and it's plain to see,
I look after you and you're looking after me.
Peace and safety I'll make sure,
At least until someone off the [C] hook.
Look up, [D] most blamed and more,
[G] And twenty-five fingers [D] that's the call.
Well [C] I've got [D] no grain, so I'll run out and [G] stop,
There's a dying Australia's nuclear [D] cop.
[G]
It's never been better in this land, dreams,
Take it, take it, and there is dreams.
Steal it away, waste it all at last,
They can get their eyes through the airport.
[C] Had a vague [D] memory, so what's that like?
[G] I've been stood here and [D] thought it's art.
Well [C] I'm coming [D] and slip through your veins,
And I'm [G] shocked at the height of the radio's nuclear [D] cop.

[D] [G] [D]
[G]
Don't sprinkle the waste around in the rock,
Him and the furrowed, the bed is a shock.
Used to be a black man's sacred site,
Now his clothes make a neat hot [C] light.
Let's go [D] play with Salmon or [G] Darlene,
We all spend [D] our summers on Barley.
[C] I used to [D] be a mother to her, she'd fall and [G] drop,
The hands that invade the nuclear [D] cop.
[G] Meltdown, turn around, where do you hide?
You can't let your new nerves play out, bye.
Brooklyn, going to Canterbury, outside your door,
Watching jigger and hearing [C] roar.
There's so [D] much to celebrate,
[G] Living in [D] Australia's uranium state.
[C]
Parliament house [D] and the female lodge,
And standing at the door is a nuclear cop.
