about

A farm ravaged by drought, and abandoned, the song talks about mass migration by displaced people as a result of climate change

lyrics

I Know a Place

i know a place, that's abandoned and cracked
It didn't rain for years, the family never came back
It once ran cattle, it once grew dreams
But the sun got so hot, now the north wind screams
Through the wire, through the wire
Now the north wind screams through the wire

The trees are dead, there's salt at the root
there's not even one kangaroo to shoot
The river's dead, the tractor's rusted in the yard
There's nothing to farm here, just a land that's scarred
By the hand, by the hand, by the hand of man

The city's the last refuge of the broken hearted
The busted and beaten and the never got started
The sun burns their flesh, the wind twists their mouth
They abandon, the great city of the south
