Thargomindah (The Way It Is)
Don't think about the hours Goin' round and round About the cost of fuel The seed you've planted in the ground It'll send you crazy Belt your head against the wall And question why you're in the game at all Yeah, you wait two years for decent rain To save a thirsty crop And now it goin' yellow Cause the bloody rain won't stop But that's the way it is Where inland rivers flow An irony that real bush people know But the folks in Thargomindah haven't seen the grass so tall It's an ill wind that blows no good, the rain can't please us all No complaints in Thargomindah or out Wanaaring way Smiles all 'round in Gidgieland today And you're thinkin' "here we go again" With a bucket and a mop It's been fifteen years Since the food went through your shop And it's an act of God SongtexteSo insurance doesn't pay You turn around and start again today Wihile a mob of hungry Brahmans Spread to let us through If they could speak I'm sure they'd say All's well on old Barcoo When they reach Windorah Fat enough to sell The cattleman will treat his drovers well Yeah there's no complaints in Gidgieland today Aus Songtexte Mania
