Farmer's Son

Working so hard in the Summer Sun Praying for rain so the job can be done Rise with day so you don't waste the light And I can't seem to sleep very well in the night I'm a Farmer's Son like my Daddy before A hundred and twenty seven years on the door Six years dry no sign of rain And the man from the bank is calling me again I was a Man The work was done I had some Land Under the Sun Good Earth gives the Good Earth takes And when its hell on Earth a good man breaks The Earth's so dry that it won't grow weeds I'm shooting all the cows 'cause i can't afford the feed Now the Le Francois he's got his subsidies The Red White and Blue bring the world to its knees Give a damn for the Aussie Man When the bank comes along to turf him off the land I was a Man The work it was done I had some Land Under the Sun Then came the bank Took all my life I lost my kids I lost my wife My wife remarried a lawyer named Brad My kids grew up calling him Dad I couldn't stand the sight of the Land no more Just turned my back walked out the door Now the Sydney Streets are alive with lights I can't seem to sleep very well in the night Driving my cab in the pouring rain Watching all the water going down the drain I was a Man My work it was done I had some Land I was Someone Then came my bank Took all my life I lost my kids I lost my wife
