Standoff at Argyle St.

There's a development halt up on Argyle St.
Bridges burned, Police retreat
Demonstrators, angry masses
Pushing vans off the overpasses

Government is not resolving
Land claims, how their word means nothing!
Officers with injuries
Can no longer keep the peace

It's a standoff at Argyle St.
Over land at Douglass creek
Children waving metal pipes
It's their land cuz’ it's their right
Every Acre
Big blockades and schools are closing
Everybody stands there watching, all are posing
Band leaders with crowbars waving
Tire fire towers blazing

It's a standoff at Argyle St.
Over land at Douglass Creek
Children Waving metal pipes
It's their land or it's their lives
They had it stolen
ahhhh aye aye yee-aye
Who's business is it. Do we know?
The doors to every office closed
Protestors take back control
Greed, hate and rage explode!
Chorus
It's their land or it's their life!
