Well, they all came down to take
a look and they held a public meeting.

and the desperate situation
And they spoke about the pride
and the future of our nation
They talked about heritage and the crowd,

And the children have their creek bed
now and they play there in the sand
And the old folks say that through here

And everyone says something should
have been done
