Behaviours are so important going forward. Going to have to be some selfless work from everyone - be exemplary. 

Exemplary

We look out the window and we see it’s our turn
We want to, we need to
The river is rising and grass is burnt
It’s a headache, it’s a heart ache
So we’re walking through the streets so purposefully
We’re marching, some are running
We’re shoveling sand, we’re hosing the land
We’re a commune, to the rescue

Ba da ba da - We’re exemplary
Ba da ba da - We’re exemplary

Children are leaving their classes in droves
They’re frightened and enlightened
They’ve worked it all out, they actually know
They can see it, they’re not stupid
It’s everywhere they look, vapid posturing
It’s so obvious, it’s so odious
It’s all about ownership and total control
They detest it, they reject it

Ba da ba da - They’re exemplary

Mother and daughter father and son
By the 60s we could be gypsies
Everyone a nomad everywhere a land grab
Fight it – be united
Ba da ba da - Be exemplary

EXEMPLARY

For Pride 2023, a few days early... even my happy songs are sad lol

I don’t know how many sleepless nights
I’ve spent along the riverside
Searching for some kind of light
To call my own
‘Cause you kept me down for so long
That the darkness seemed like all I've known
I never dreamed that the light was right here all along

Now I'm Leaving the dark behind. I’m ready to let love shine!

I’m not gonna be the bad guy in your story
Or the fall guy for your glory
Why do you knock me down just to make yourself look strong?
The road that I'm on leads to a world you'll never know
But that don’t mean it’s wrong
Your path is yours, and my path is all my own

A world of my own design And i’m gonna take the time to…!  

Celebrate the life we’re living
Celebrate the love we’re given
Our time while we are young
Celebrate the friends here with us
Celebrate the ones we're missing
Celebrate Until we’re filled with laughter, life and love

There’s something in me that you despise
And for that i won’t apologize
I'll forgive and forget, I’m not angry at the world anymore
‘cause i realize how far I've come
And all the friends I’ve lost and loved  
Who has time for people who don’t know what love is for?

I’ll leave them all behind And i believe it’s time to…!

War will never bring you peace
Understanding’s what we need

Celebrate! (Pride 23)

LYRICS:
----------------------------
(townie)
People in this town, they've all seen you hangin' around
They don't like it
They're not buyin' what you're sellin', standing' on your box and yellin'
They don't like it
Their sentiment is strong, and they asked you move along
They don't like it. They really don't like it.

(monty)
People in this town, one by one they sneak around
They seem to like it
They come and they go, they never let the neighbors know
That they like it
They may hide it from the rest, but their coins inside my chest say they like it
Oh, I think they like it. They like it.

(townie)
With your shell games and dice, I ain't tellin' you twice
I don't like it
They're down on their knees while you sell them your disease
I don't like it
With your slug milk and wine, they're just fish on your line
I don't like it I really don't like it.

(monty)
I am just a businessman, I make my living where I can
The way I like it
I am sure you understand, I'm just meeting their demand
And I like it
So there's no need to taunt, I just give them what they want and they like it, 
Oh I think they like it, and I like it

(townie)
They say that you're depraved, that you're sick and can't be saved
We don't like it.
And the medicine you sell isn't making them well
We don't like it.
So just get on down the road, if you'd like, I'll help you load
We don't like it. We really don't like it.

(monty)
My patience wearing thin, I take another one on the chin
Because they like it.
So I guess I'll up and go, take my tack and tents in tow
I don't like it
But your virtue is a clown, so I'll go to the next town
Where they like it. I'll go where they like it.
Where they like it.
