This week Alex runs with the likes of Dylan! Surely Alex's first protest song is a hit right? Right?

Verse

There’s something wrong in the world today

Something worth singing monotonously about

Our environmental white knight Peter garret

And the fact that he’s completely sold out

It used to be that you couldn’t sleep

While our beds were burning at night

But you must have new flame retardant pyjamas

Cos you seem to be doing alright

Chorus

Peter Garret you went back on your word

You used to be the voice of those unheard

Do you remember the time when you sung about asbestos?

And do you remember the time when you sung about mining?

But that was before you sold your soul to satan

Verse 2

There was a time when it didn’t cross your mine

That selling the great barrier reef was fine

But I guess things have changed because

You approved a uranium mine

You used to know what your beliefs were

But you strayed from the path

All you’ve got now is a pocket of cash

And a bleeding heart

Chorus

Peter Garret you went back on your word

You used to be the voice of those unheard

Do you remember the time when you promised not to be a politician?

It never was a written law

But the things that you said lead us to assume you wouldn’t be one

We shouldn’t have assumed

-solo-

Chorus

Peter Garret you went back on your word

You used to be the voice of those unheard
