Şarkı Sözleri
Yeah
This track is dedicated to the indigenous people of Australia
And the soldiers and the firefighters who protect it
Yeah, yeah
The strong stood silent, much harder men wept
Polly's broadcast live from the parliament steps
City slickers watched on, bush cousins held breath
Hell on their doorstep and only half of them left
I fell asleep that night and dreamt the arsonists bled
And woke up to cries of off with their heads
Soon drowned by the sight of a nation standing proud lock step
Made me feel there's some issues to address
Like those who don't agree with my freedom of choices
Should at least respect hear they got the freedom to voice it
Media hype, sensationalised poison
Divide by our difference not build common points
But for all from Baghdad to Britain
Ain't feeling our lifestyle and living pack your bags good riddance
Can't question our morals, can't query our spirit
'Cause we know when the fire come, heroes come with it like
And this is my country, flaws and all
Still what our boys overseas at war for
So I'm not hearing we ain't doing it right
'Cause it's easy to criticise, it's easy to divide
But this is our country, young and free
We the sum of all nations, sum of all creeds, yeah
We in fight knowing when it's crunch time
We the sum of our people combined come together right
We rise to the problems, we're Australian
The size of our hearts stretch the size of our wallets
From guys on the front lines to guys in the office
To the firefighters trying to stop it
We ain't perfect, there's flaws, but in times of crisis we drop it
Count the losses, look to the Southern Cross and
Pray to whatever God we believe in to offer
Respite to those left worse off from it
So each Anzac and Australia Day
We celebrate black, white, doesn't matter your race, whether
Storm services or barbies with your mates
I wonder if diggers knew the pride in country they create
State to state, coast to coast
It's hand on heart reciting the oath
It's a hand off to lighten the load
It's that fair go attitude that says
More than anything presidents spoke
And this is my country, flaws and all
Still what our boys overseas at war for
So I'm not hearing we ain't doing it right
'Cause it's easy to criticise, it's easy to divide
But this is our country, young and free
We the sum of all nations, sum of all creeds, yeah
We in fight knowing when it's crunch time
We the sum of our people combined come together right
I love hearing Europeans talk like we lie beneath 'em
'Cause our culture ain't built on galleries and museums
But put us in arenas, or put us on a beach
Or talk freedoms, ain't a motherfucker gon' beat us now
I'm nothing special, I just rhyme kinda decent, kid
Look to Anzacs for what a leader is
The lucky country, home of the brave bastards
Who stand up, fight and punch out their weight class
This an ode to my home, one love for those
Whose strength they can't replicate in a photo
For souls in Gallipoli, one love from home
And one love for those who shot back on Kokoda
I'm over the anti-Oz vibes, let 'em slide
I'm ashamed as the next man by the race riots
But I bleed Aussie so till the planets collide
I'll be a proud motherfucker with my flag raised high
And this is my country, flaws and all
Still what our boys overseas at war for
So I'm not hearing we ain't doing it right
'Cause it's easy to criticise, it's easy to divide
But this is our country, young and free
We the sum of all nations, sum of all creeds, yeah
We in fight knowing when it's crunch time
We the sum of our people combined come together right
Yeah
Nah, I'm not saying we're perfect, we're far from it
But sometimes the bullshit gets in the way of
Us seeing how good we've actually got it
They wouldn't call it the lucky country if it wasn't, mate
Yo
