lyrics

I'm still in awe
at how you pulled it all off
and driving through the drylands
seeing irrigators installed
I think about the coup
you turned the rules on themselves
you engineered that miracle
to free the water underground

they said you'd never take the council down
but you just found your way around

called it a national crisis
you were in bed with the press
you understood from experience how to
make it fast and hard to digest oh you
left them dumbfounded, unemployable
chose their replacements yourself
all their science from the cities couldn't keep you
from the water underground

they said you'd never take the council down
but you just found your way around
nine years out of power
you had time to think it out

she was one of those friends
followed the rabbit hole to its end
and you knew what it meant
to get involved

and the industry couldn't help you
no, none of the farmers who owed you
they let you fight in that pit alone

but with elections still on hold
with the cattle turning up by the truckload
you can hear the drills working now
on that water underground
