Cover art for Burnie lyrics by Midnight Oil

And Armodean, I would like to remind you that the purpose of this website is to inform others as to what the songs mean, The website is called "Song Meanings" after all.

And Burnie is a song written about what was, at the time of writing, a polluted coastal town in Tasmania.

As for your weak analogy: If a song such as "Wer'e Bound For Botany Bay" was on this website, then the song meaning would come close to that of Sydney being full of convicts and free settlers.

Before you try sarcasm for effect make sure that it won't backfire on you.

So Asmodean you are the dickhead.
