lyrics

You say it's all gone
No point trying
To get it all back
It's gone
But we've gotta fight back
Keep on trying
To get it all back
Come on
You say it's all dead
Or dying
Can't get it all back
It's gone
But we've gotta fight back
Keep on trying
To get it all back
Fight on

Coral bleaching, it's looking hopeless
Killed off most of the Barrier Reef
Politicians ignore the warnings
Spreading climate disbelief
But there's people fighting back now
Trying to stop the corrupt lies
Fighting back like there's no tomorrow
So the whole reef doesn't die

You say it's all gone
No point trying
To get it all back
It's gone
But we've gotta fight back
Keep on trying
To get it all back
Come on
You say it's all dead
Or dying
Can't get it all back
It's gone
But we've gotta fight back
Keep on trying
To get it all back
Fight on

Dried up rivers, they're looking hopeless
Irrigators taking it all
Stealing water like there's no tomorrow
People downstream get fuck all
But there's people fighting back now
First nations going hard
They fight like there's no tomorrow
They're the ones to put in charge

You say it's all gone
No point trying
To get it all back
It's gone
But we've gotta fight back
Keep on trying
To get it all back
Come on
You say it's all dead
Or dying
Can't get it all back
It's gone
But we've gotta fight back
Keep on trying
To get it all back
Fight on

Species loss, it's looking hopeless
Every week another one gone
Killing nature like there's no tomorrow
Trying to bring the apocalypse on
But there's people fighting back now
Warning of the whole collapse
Educating like there's no tomorrow
Hitting liars with the facts

Coal seam gas now, it's looking hopeless
Wrecking water and farmland
Poisoning like there's no tomorrow
Corrupt money changing hands
But there's people fighting back now
Hitting back to get them banned
Locking gates like there's no tomorrow
Chasing them right off the land

You say it's all gone
No point trying
To get it all back
It's gone
But we've gotta fight back
Keep on trying
To get it all back
Come on
You say it's all dead
Or dying
Can't get it all back
It's gone
But we've gotta fight back
Keep on trying
To get it all back
Fight on

You say it's all gone
No point trying
To get it all back
It's gone
But we've gotta fight back
Keep on trying
To get it all back
Come on
You say it's all dead
Or dying
Can't get it all back
It's gone
But we've gotta fight back
Keep on trying
To get it all back
Fight on
