It's a long hot road from Adelaide
to Lincoln when the radiator's hissing steam
My heart's beating time to
I got my lights stuck on high beam
The K- Mart carpark in Whyalla's just
a flat cracked concrete void
They don't sell many swimming
Where the Dust dances in the heat
young little rich country
As they buy it from under our feet
And talk of a tracking base
Talking mineral yields in
And looking like they own the place
Bundra's just a one- pub town they've
got a horse by the only tree
Rooms are cheap, you get beer on Sundays
and they don't need locks and keys
The confederate drank his Bourbon straight
said "I've came from Mobile"
He said "You keep your blacks and your taxes
down investment's so ideal"
And there's Lear jets over Kulgera
Where the Dust dances in the heat
young little rich country
As they buy it from under our feet
And talk of a tracking base
Talking mineral yields in uranium fields
And looking like they own the place
Fairchild, Du- Pont, Levi Straus
Comalco, Exxon, Remington
Goodyear, Mobil, Davis Press
