Take my family, smash it apart
and a little piece of land
Bring that hammer down on my heart
His granddad cleared the land
with just an old bush saw
I heard him cry late last night when
Take my family, smash it apart
and a little piece of land
Bring that camera down on
My heart is aching and aching for
the work that should be done
Now the bank's stopped the checks
and no -one wants the crock
And it's breaking my heart
Take my family, smash it apart
and a little piece of land
Bring that hammer down on my
After harvest rain and flood and
years and years of drought
Now the interest rates are
gonna finally wipe us out
They say it's not our fault,
Take my family and smash it apart
It's just a few machines and
Take my family and smash it apart
and a little piece of land
Bring that hammer down on my heart
