Feral

 

Verse 1

Moving with stealth

Depth of the night

A disposition to kill

Without a fight

 

The ultimate hunter

It stalks its prey

Attacking our wildlife

Ending its days

 

Twenty million strong

It out numbers people

Two weeks in the bush

It is feral

 

Chorus

Night parrot …..........gone

Bilbys ….............. critical

Orange bellies …............ nearly gone

Potoroos ….................... critical

And the list …...................goes on

 

Verse 2

Lizards and birds

It shows no favour

Small mammals

It seems to savior

 

An apex predator

Its skills unmatched

Any native creature

Is soon dispatched

 

Backyards no haven

For native fauna

The feline menace

Has no borders

 

Chorus

Paradise parrot …............. gone

Numbat …............. critical

Pygmy possum …........nearly gone

Northern quoll …................... critical

And the list ….................... goes on

 

Verse 3

Governments have a solution

In a biological form

Similar to rabbits

That were so scorned

 

Future of the cat

Would be certainly doomed

Eradicate the scourge

And all its ruin

 

Governments sit on their hands

Solution not near

With their gutless attitude

Wildlife lives in fear

 

Chorus

Bettong ….................... critical

Western ground parrot …........ gone

20 mammal species …........... gone

20 million killed …..............per night

And the list.................. goes on
