You say you want
Tunnels & a rings of roads
You say you want
Your TransApex scheme to behold
But all the legacies we leave
From the history books we’ll read
Was tunnels all “Can-do” could do?
You say you'll give me
Northern Link with no one in it
Toowong to Normanby in seven minutes
Though the planet pays the toll!
You say you'll offset
the tunnels by planting trees
A river of green wash Eze
A bikeway network still in fragments
But all the legacies we leave
From the history books we’ll read
Was tunnels all “Can-do” could do?
You say you want
Your tunnel vision to prevail,
Even if it makes more sense to build rail
You say you want
Tunnels on a ring of roads
Your TransApex scheme keep cars in mode
Despite signing up the City Mayor’s Code
All the Codes of ethics we break
From the history books we’ll read
Was tunnels all “Can-do” could do?
Do...all “Can-do” can...
Do...all “Can-do” can
Do...all “Can-do” can...
Do...
