THE RAMSHACKLE ARMY LYRICS

"Bays End Guns"

Melbourne town had cobbled streets
Paved for trade and licence free for any man to seek
Mind and body willing

Migrant settlers came in fleets
Primed for lives of labour pick and shovel, sweat and heat
But these did build a nation
These build our nation

The bays end guns
The bays end guns are rising

The bays end guns
The bays end guns are rising

Alas soon came prosperity that only few could saver
Money breeds and pennies grow where dollars can be wagered
The great divide soon came and cut riches 80 20
None can escape that fate while human nature's healthy
Our nature is our enemy

The bays end guns
The bays end guns are rising

The bays end guns
The bays end guns are rising

The bays end guns
The bays end guns are rising

The bays end guns
The bays end guns are rising

Dirty streets and selfish hearts run rife like any city
Men and women fighting blind and sanity retreating
Never can this war be won with common sense so fleeting
When everyone needs a gun soon after all are bleeding
This town is bleeding

The bays end guns
The bays end guns are rising

The bays end guns
The bays end guns are rising
