Текст песни The Beasts of Briar Park (New Settlement Road) с переводом

Raised on the mountains and skid trails

Oh canopy

Come down from your catbird seat

Consigned to the back of this prime moving beast

Are the fruits of our labour, in trees

What am I to do?

What am I to do?

I must put food on the table

Oh, tangle haired sister

I’ve a family to feed

Oh, it’s a lonely morning

Here in the dark wood

Born by the smell of diesel and the beasts of Briar Park

I picture you sister

Of splinter and blister

Unashamedly chained to the wheel

Such an ironic gesture

No one had guessed

It was just how we fellers all feel

Oh irony

Oh irony

I shook down that highway

Lumber aboard

With my conscience, I dare to compete

Low down in the valley

Smell the leaves of the river gum

Oh, I remember how the breeze helped the river flow on

Down in the valley

Nothin' bleeds like a river gum

Oh, I surrender to the vacant skies above
