[00:00.000]Clean Up Our Own Backyard - Slim Dusty
[00:09.789]There's an old rhyme that pits
[00:11.457]Out time take it for what it's worth
[00:15.216]Things are crook at Tallarook
[00:17.406]And there ain't no work in Burke
[00:20.116]But we still find room for the many
[00:22.696]Who come a-knockin' at our door
[00:25.245]And we sell our wide brown
[00:27.015]Acres without a second thought
[00:31.444]Some will say we are building
[00:34.694]A nation rich and strong
[00:36.914]But if you take a closer look at
[00:39.144]It perhaps we've got it wrong
[00:43.774]Makes you think maybe we're
[00:45.263]A bit crazy doing it quite so hard
[00:48.622]Shouldn't be a crime to take the time
[00:51.502]To clean up our own backyard
[01:04.192]In the country towns and the land around
[01:06.742]In the city streets and slums
[01:09.512]The dreamtime lore has gone before
[01:12.002]And the walkabout is done
[01:14.512]On the streets at night you see
[01:16.422]The plight of our old ones and our young
[01:19.602]And the Salvo refugge overflows
[01:22.512]But still the people come
[01:25.952]Just a little drop of caring in
[01:28.872]An ocean of neglect
[01:31.252]Can't stem the tide of anger from
[01:34.021]The lost and dispossessed
[01:37.721]In the land of promise keepin'
[01:39.631]Our promise gets to be too hard
[01:42.890]Shouldn't be a crime to take the time
[01:45.660]To clean up our own backyard
[01:58.540]Make you think maybe we're
[02:00.080]A bit crazy doing it quite so hard
[02:04.629]Shouldn't be a crime to take the time
[02:07.408]To clean up our own backyard
