[D]Famine days, drove us here, off the land,
[Em]The[F#]y t[G]ried to clear, Now they drive you
A D (E(II) F#(II) First Time)
From The cities, to make way for all the yuppies
[D]They stood back, and didn't act,
[Em]Those in power, should have been sacked,
[F#]Dec[G]im[A]at[D]e the inner cities, move them out, bring in the wealthy.
