Verse 1
Meet me down by the jetty landing
Where the scientists all say
The ocean's rising where we're standing
Where your coal mine opens to cook the living land away
Another natural disaster
Fries the Great Barrier Reef
Wood ❲?❳ are burning up the ❲?❳
Green-washed public statements
They're still turning up the heat

Pre-Chorus
She don't like that kind of behaviour
She don't like that kind of behaviour, no

Chorus
(Ooh) Throw down your guns, don't be so reckless
(Ooh) Throw down your guns, don't bе so—

Verse 2
Blowing up entire bloodlines
Wе want to own the land we found
We're still contributing to war crimes
While we're drilling money and years out of the ground
