Lovers Rock Under Water Put 1 Finger Up 2
Lover's rock at the end of town
is underwater now despite the
drought and water pipe ban
in place
Because you see the politicians
could not unite on common ground
and overcome the red tape in order
of how to fix it
So the dam wall was eventually
breached
Because so to the child who was
trying to plug the leak with his
finger
Had to leave as well as his paper
round was due to start early
that fateful morning
And you see had to abandon his
post as there was a far more
pressing matters and crisis
he had to attend at home
Because be was the only 1 in
his family who possessed a job
And the sole bread winner who
was charged with putting
food upon his family members
plate otherwise without him
they may well have starved
And they were already drowning
in debt
So what more harm could
possibly befall them than a
bit of water possibly could
do that hadn't been caused
or done alreay
