Lyrics:

Red lines on maps, they draw the new divide,
Paying to travel, where you used to enjoy a drive.
Red lines on maps, they draw the new divide,
Paying to travel, where you used to enjoy a drive.

The wilderness is coming to a town near you,
The wilderness is coming to a town near you. 
The wilderness is coming to a town near you,
The wilderness is coming to a town near you. 

Once a proud nation, we looked after our own
Local accents reassured, directed us away from the gloom
Freedom to roam 
Freedom to talk 
Freedom to own
Freedom to walk
Then came the enforcement brigade!

They shut down our streets, replaced green with gray
The wilderness is coming, as orders takes there sway
The silence once peaceful, now echos with control
The stranglehold tightens, on each and every soul

The wilderness is coming to a town near you,
The wilderness is coming to a town near you.
The wilderness is coming to a town near you,
The wilderness is coming to a town near you.

Red lines on maps, they draw the new divide
Paying to travel, where you used to enjoy a drive

The wilderness is coming to a town near you,
The wilderness is coming to a town near you. 
The wilderness is coming to a town near you,
The wilderness is coming to a town near you.
