Drought

• Artist: Jacinta13
• Description: Okay, lame song subject I know. I had to write it for an assignment and I actually quite like it. I performed it with a friend playing guitar and me and another friend using our hands on the desks for drums. It sounded very country/tribal. Its a very low song, and very country, also very unusual for me.

This is Australia the land of drought.
We live we work under hot hot sun,
But little do we know how good we got it.
This is Australia the land of drought.

When drought hits us hard, we run to the government,
Crying and pleading for them to save us.
What do ya think they’re gonna do?
Sit on their butts and eat our food.

Chorus:
Drought bites everyone real, real hard.
It has no mercy. It has no heart.
It doesn’t care who it bite next.
It gives each country a different gift.
That gift may be real good or bad.
But that country gotta deal with it.

There is Africa the land of poverty.
They toil and burn in the boiling heat,
They’re the ones that got it real bad.
There is Africa the land of poverty.

When heat hits them, they work all day.
Out in the fields, out in the sun.
They break their backs to get some dinner.
And they may still starve throughout the night.

Chorus

( slowing down) If only there were some sorta way to get on outta this drought.
