Em                                   D                    Em
Mother and child playing on the lawn, a middle class home, a Sunday morning
 Cmaj7                                                             Em

 Em                                    D                        Em
I just jumped bail on a dope bust mum, sayin' goodbye, then the drug squad come
 Cmaj7                                                                         Em
And in the name of the law, they punch him in the jaw, where ya gonna run to now

Did it for a dare, on the night he turned eleven, his first shop break Magnum 357
Cmaj7                                                                  Em
Frightened young cop, and the kid doesn't stop, where ya gonna run to (now)

Long white car out of Tullamarine, a government member to the Carribean

Will you have to tell lies when the kids ask you why, the horizon's a blanket of gloom
 Em                           C                   D
When the battle lines draw - which way will you turn

And southwest Tassie's got a dozer track, and we'll never ever get Lake Pedder back
  Cmaj7                                                                   Em
A director and a graph, and a million dollar laugh, where ya gonna run to (now)
Em                                          D                 Em
Enrich the oxide out of Port Pirie, and the toxic gases, they won't even see

And your loungeroom is screening Nationwide, you've just given blood to the bank
 Em                                 C                          D          B7
And the books on your shelves are a measure, of all that you've learned
Em                                  C                    D                       B7

And a man in a tie, pointing to the sky, where ya gonna run to now
