Yeah

Lone wolf highlighting legislation

Yeah

She had a child, he was five years old

When they lost their home, then everything they owned

Years frozen solid, time on hold

Files went cold, truth controlled

2005 Clock stood still

2008 a wind up will, no end date

Just open ground

Years passed, without a sound

Lone wolf, highlighting legislation

Good thing she's a mountain goat

Another family let down by bureaucratic resistance

Repercussions at the time, ignored, Uh, yeah

Three years for ASIC to do its job

Another nine while the silence robbed

Eight hundred at the end of the night

Company wound up, no more in sight

Twelve years passed, the boy seventeen

His mom now, half a century

No loss of wages, no apologies

Lost statistics, inefficiencies

Demographic of victims, beseeched judiciary

Federal system, with failed democracy

Lone wolf, highlighting legislation

Another mother dragged through family court systems

Repercussions at the time, ignored

Yeah 

Depression foreshadowed, now long history

Resources depleted, systematically

White collar crime forcing others on to security

No one listens, no responsibility

Financial systems lack transparency

Insurance laws outdated, irrelevant

Justice out of reach, far from benevolent

Once independent, part of society

Life from nothing, ward of the state

Grew millions for lawyers, legal career the gate

Child, home, business, car, erased

Hopes and dreams displaced, filed in court

Some representation still free

Years of experience, no law degree

If it's change you want to hear this plea

Raise your voice, it's up to ye

Lone wolf, highlighting legislation

Another woman let down by deficient systems

Repercussions at the time, ignored Yeah

Scrape for change, court costs mounted

Plain tickets booked, mediation affronted

Deep pocket insurers know the score

Assured to spill, Victims' claims they seek to kill

Back room deals, dressed as told

Outcomes priced, before resolved

Lunch break truths, too blunt to forget

Horse trade talk yes, what to expect

Letter sent, system blind

Cheques went back in hands of time

Address given, still they missed

Internal files don't coexist

Unclaimed funds in public view

Had to search to find what's due

Apply again, 90 days

Miss one thing, reset the phase

If systems derail at human scale

Where else inside the ledgers fail

Two decades deep, the story stands

Frozen files to shaking hands

Last cheque cut in '24, 20 years at Justice' door

Lessons learned along the way

Priceless armour for future days

Don't preach or point voiceless guns, her way

Lone wolf, here to stay

Checkmate

Lone wolf, highlighting legislation

Good thing she's a mountain goat

Another family let down by bureaucratic resistance

Repercussions at the time ignored

Lone wolf, highlighting legislation

Good thing she's a mountain goat

Another family let down by bureaucratic resistance

Repercussions at the time ignored
