[Verse 1: Brad Cox]
Wildfires are burnin' in this town
There's no hope for the future and no easy way out
They had time on their side
Now their time is all run dry

[Verse 2: Ian Moss]
[?] has long since been gone
Did you think about the people when you moved your money on?
We used to ride on our bikes
Now there's no money left to buy new tyres

[Chorus: both]
They had time on their side
All the while you were sellin' them out for less than half their price
They packed up their horses, ready to ride
Flicked a match to light the wildfires

[Verse 3: Brad Cox]
Heads are smokin' dope at twelve years old
And the agriculture bankers kinda keep this town afloat
I've seen boards on the windows on the main street
Now the boredom in the kids' eyes has amazed me

[Verse 4: Ian Moss]
Ambers burn and not just localized
Throwin' smoke across the land and breakin' all the county lines
I've seen spot fires in my backyard
Ain't no campfire [?] extinguishin' the spots
[Chorus: both]
They had time on their side
All the while you were sellin' them out for less than half their price
They packed up their horses, ready to ride
Flicked a match to light the wildfires
They had time on their side
All the while you were sellin' them out for less than half their price
They packed up their horses, ready to ride
Flicked a match to light the wildfires
Flicked a match to light the wildfires
Flicked a match to light the wildfires
