[Chorus]
Well you can't eat coal and you can't breath gas
They're selling out the country for a pile of cash
They're digging it up and shipping it out, where ever it can be found
Don't send it off to China, leave it in the ground
Don't send it off to China, leave it in the ground

Well I'm lying awake and listening to the coal trains in the night
For the million multinational bottom line (?)
By the time it's on the water, we've already lost the fight
And our children are the victims of the crime

There's miles and miles of farming land, that's gone up in the night
From another rural family loose their land (?)
They're driving them to debt, fear of pain and suicide
The truth is that their blood is on your hands

[Chorus]
'Cause you can't eat coal and you can't breath gas
They're selling out the country for a pile of cash
They're digging it up and shipping it out, where ever it can be found
Don't send it off to China, leave it in the ground
Don't send it off to China, leave it in the ground

Well they're fracking here, they're fracking there just like they own the joint
'Cause the government is giving them the right
The election funding guarantee, well that's the bloody point (?)
I don't know how you bastards sleep at night

[Chorus]
'Cause you can't eat coal and you can't breath gas
They're selling out the country for a pile of cash
They're digging it up and shipping it out, where ever it can be found
Don't send it off to China, leave it in the ground
Don't send it off to China, leave it in the ground

[Long Pause]

Landscape is a moonscape, the scenery is shot
The coal dust poison floating on the breeze (?)
The aquifers are dying, they're ruining the crop
We've got to put an end to this desease

[Chorus]
'Cause you can't eat coal and you can't breath gas
They're selling out the country for a pile of cash
They're digging it up and shipping it out, where ever it can be found
Don't send it off to China, leave it in the ground

No, you can't eat coal and you can't breath gas
They're selling out the country for a pile of cash
They're digging it up and shipping it out, where ever it can be found
Don't send it off to China, leave it in the ground

No, you can't eat coal and you can't breath gas
They're selling out the country for a pile of cash
They're digging it up and shipping it out, where ever it can be found
Don't send it off to China, leave it in the ground
Don't send it off to China, leave it in the ground
