Say goodbye my dear
Say goodbye
I hear the sound of bulldozers snarling
Say goodbye to Aunty Ethel
She must die within her home
Say goodbye to mother Mulga
For she has sustained us well
Our homes must go to feed the humans
So that they can become fat and wealthy
Say goodbye my dear
Say goodbye
The bulldozer is almost upon us now
Say goodbye to Uncle Pete
He must die within his home
Say goodbye to father forest
For he has sustained us well
Our homes must go to feed the stock
To make the humans more fat and wealthy
Come, I can take no more of this
It sickens me to my soul
We must join the exodus
Refugees within our home
We will die upon the road
