PICKAPART
Lyrics © John Butler 2001

So there aint no need to pickapart me
Cause what you get aint what you see
I said a little fucked up, a little crazy
But there aint no need to pickapart me

Going down the road nobody gonna get in my way
Nothing gonna stop old me from finding myself a new day
And as long as I don't hurt no one, I don't be hurting no one I still say
Nothing gonna stop old me from finding myself a new day
I said and nothing going to stop me or you
Hell no...

So there aint no need to pickapart me
Cause what you get aint what you see
I said a little fucked up, a little crazy
But there aint no need to pickapart me

I got four hail marys flying over my head
Trying to make me sad everyday
Gonna shot those little motherfuckers down
With my positive artillery
Cause it doesn't really matter who you listen to or who
Ya gonna believe
I said nothing really stopping me or anybody else
From going and being free
Nothing gonna stop you
Or me hell no
No nothing gonna stop me or you. Hell no

DON'T UNDERSTAND
Lyrics © John Butler 2001

Did you ever stop to think about whatcha gonna do
With your responsibility?
Or did you,
Just take this job cause it would
Be good for the money
And did you
Ever stop to think
About your duty to mankind
Or did you,
Think ya take this job do favours
For you friends and waste all our time?
So tell me man
Do you realize what you're doing to this good country?
Cause you're selling it all away for your economic
Stability
And you,
Justify everything you do
With the people that you say you're gonna employ
But the unemployment line is getting bigger every year
And you treat us all like toys.
We're just expendable to you
Along now with this land
And there ain't no room left for empathy
And this is something I don't understand
Don't make no sense to me
Justifying everything we do on our economy
And there ain't no room
No more room left for human decency
Justifying everything we do on our economy
And the only time you listen to the people
Is when you think you won't get their vote
Otherwise you really could not give a shit
Don't mind rockin all our boats
And the greatest living friend is a man who goes by
The name of apathy
And we let you get away with everything you like so
You make all your money
But I tell you something right now old man
And this is a fair old warning to you
That the people are waking up
And gonna make you accountable too
Just like the nazi trials in Nuremburg
Hell not so long ago
Gonna make you pay for what you have done
Gonna make you responsible
Cause I don't understand
don't understand
don't understand
what head space you are in
so it must be lies you're speaking
and the land that you love he could not give a damn
about
and the ocean that you love do you think he could give
a fuck about?
And the family that you love do you think he could give
A damn about?

What goes up
They say is coming down
I got my head in the sky
And my roots in the ground
I'm not patriotic man
For what it's worth
I pledge allegiance to this land
And my Mother Earth

What I am
I said is what I be
I be damned if you cut down all those trees
Clearfelling all this good land.
I do see
We'll all be damned if you cut down all those trees
What I am
I said is what I am
I be damned if I stone cold killa man
In the name of a flag
A patriotic game
You got blood on your hands it ain't me to blame

Earthbound Child
Earthbound Child
Come up with the shit I'm the earthbound child
Earthbound Child

Come up with the shit

Everybody crying
But they don't know why
Well don't look up now there's a hole in the sky
And if we don't change soon everybody gonna die
You better jump ship now you better hope you can fly
Over population say we gotta face
You're gonna send us all away out to outerspace
Singing yippie hurray for the human race
I don't wanna live my life in no outer space

I got six white candles
You know they're too hot to handle
You know I'm lighting them up
Cause you know I'm a vandal
Sticking them up all around my room
Cause ya know what I'm into
Oh ya the voodoo

You know I'm wick a wild
You know what they call me I'm the Earthbound Child

TREES
Lyrics © John Butler 2001

They're cutting down all the trees
Can someone stop them please
Thank God for people in this world
Who dedicate their lives to these
Thank God for people in this world
Who dedicate their lives to trees

Because...

Don't they know if they chop them down
There won't be anything to see
Don't they know if they chop them down
There won't be anything to breathe
Don't they know if they chop them down
It's only desert that they leave
Don't they know anything? NO

And it's all for the money
That love for money
Yes it's sweeter than honey
That love for money..and
Don't care about the future
Don't care about the past
You just chop those trees down
While the money it still lasts..
There's a war going on yeah
And it ain't in the middle east
It's happening in our own damn country
They're chopping down all the trees

Don't they know if they chop them down
There won't be anything to see
Don't they know if they chop them down
There won't be anything to breathe
Don't they know if they chop them down
It's only desert that they leave
Don't they know anything? NO

Hippie, ferel, protestors
Call them what you may
But if they weren't here right now
There wouldn't be a tree standing today
Hippie, ferel, protestors
Call them what you may
But if they weren't here right now
There wouldn't be a tree standing today

They're cutting down all the
They're cutting down
They're cutting down all the
They're cutting down

Don't they know if they chop them down
There won't be anything to see
Don't they know if they chop them down
There won't be anything to breathe
Don't they know if they chop them down
It's only desert that they leave
Don't they know anything? NO
Richard Court do you know anything?
Liberal Party do you know anything?
John Howard do you know anything?
Bunnings do you know anything?
Simcore do you know anything?
Hell no.
