My country

[Intro with slap sticks and didgeridoos]

[Verse 1]
I was born and bred on this land, 
A white man will never understand,
How could they have been so cruel, 
To those poor aboriginals, 
From the brutal bashings,
Or the stolen generation, 
Governments thinking it knows best,
But they will never forget, 

[Chorus with backing harmonies]
Now in this great country of ours,
A mix of different races we house,
But we all have to try and get along,
If we want to keep us strong, 
From the outback to the city, 
This is ours, yours and, 
My COUNTRY, 

[Verse 2]
As migrants come in like the waves, 
First it was greeks and Italians, 
Then next come the Asians,
And now it's the Indians,
Cause they call us the lucky country, 
But we are loosing our industries, 
The cost of living is on the rise, 
Now politicians just feed us more lies, 

[Chorus with backing harmonies]

[Instrumental break slap sticks and didgeridoos]

[Bridge]
From north to south and east to west,
The big blue ocean to the red desert,
That union jack and southern cross, 
Is supposed to represent us, 
But every year on Australia day,
The debate stays the same,
Surrounded by the  sea,
This is the home of the free,

[Chorus with backing harmonies]

[Fade to end with a didgeridoo and slap sticks]
