When The Mining Boom End

What will happen in Australia when the mining boom end
Will China remain as our good and dear friend?
Our friendships based on trade and big business would you not agree
This is how it is and it always  will be

Austalia's wealthiest mining magnate Gina Rinehart a known billionaire
Any percentage of her wealth with the Nation's people refuses to share
Any form of mining tax on her profits she refuses to pay
That greed can be addictive does seem sad to say

She has made her billions in money on Aboriginal Land
The people whose culture and ways she will never understand
The Land that was their's from them stolen away
Australia's first people remain as poor today

On the mining boom in Australia there is a use by date
And nothing will be left for to celebrate
Where the wealth of the Country was taken from the ground
Large unfilled holes in mined lands in numbers will abound

That Australia will be worse off for mining when the  mining boom end
And the last mine has been mined on that you can depend
And China the economic giant will be looking elsewhere
For new mining friends in the big World out there.
