the bob brown
interview by phillip adams LNL Dec 2002 reflected
here
genesis the lesson
for our extant niche of pelf
sacred land forsaken
each man for himself
150,000 log trucks
may drive back in reverse
araldite sawdust forests
in a plastic universe
many have a long time held
the views our party preaches
and bid for earth vehemently
as news of its worth increases
hark a new appraisal !
not offered in distress
each person is degraded
should we assess it less
there'll be no long grey beard
proffering solutions down in showers
divine intervention excluded
the onus on us is ours
who has rights to weapons
to develop and who prevails?
and describe the rest an axis
and for all that this entails?
who creates germ warfare
to biologically repel?
manifesting a morality
that's not feeling very well
the system's far too rigid
and far too money based
we need to clearly and concisely show
what some have not yet faced
we taunted both the others
to freely use our platform
but both those stations have masters
who must otherwise conform
no we haven't done our preferences
to bolster up a skeleton
we'll be for the planet with constance
a long time hence they've gone
but once we've got the power
and resemble those old two
I hope we get kicked out on the street
by a fresh and new clear view
challenge the thought that what you once said
can set the press up for a groan
to change your lucid enquiring mind
is a right you indubitably own
are you impressed by adulation
after speaking to your cause?
yes, were I to propound ideas unsound
there'd be no such applause
approbration reflects ideas
messenger is the role I've got
a different message in another time
the messenger is shot
I have flaws and assets
as I see in everyone
this is a happenstance party
whose time has just begun
I listened to your tone of voice
and what ya had to teach
ya got no charisma like the others
but ya gives a bloody good speech
I value common sense a lot
no use for gloss or station
I'm for parliament and debate
and environmental revaluation
life is not so short you know
as too often advocated
it's a long and bountiful relay race
eternally created
