August 4: I'm thinking of solar ...

I’m thinking of solar, ‘cause I am fully over

The outrageous prices I’m paying

Up above get some glass, and save on some brass

On their plan I will not be staying

Sell some power to the grid, the huge bill we will rid

From the quarterly horror we get

I have really no clue how they charge what they do

And they’ve given no good reasons as yet

I got rid of the phones, there was four round this home

Tucked away in rooms here and there

Our mobiles will do, to ring out and in too

And if you don’t call, we don’t care

Our vege patch we are sowing, and the greens they are growing

Enough for a fantastic feed

Some tomatoes and beets, for salads and sweets

It gives us near all that we need

From the roof it just flows, into tanks down below

Two hundred thousand litres of water

So when the ground it is hard, I water the yard

Using much more than I oughta

It’s good for my head, baking our bread

We can make whatever we want

Hot rolls and soup, in winter’s a scoop

Even the occasional croissant

Just where will it end, the objection to spend

I will not pay money for nothing

I will not pay by the hour, for gas, water and power

Try me, you’ll see I’m not bluffing
