Are you proud white Australians wherever you are?

Beer in your hand and your elbow on the bar

All you people from Darwin to the south

With your blue faded jeans and a joint in your mouth

Young sophisticates making the scene

At the Lion Hotel in your rolled up jeans

Something going on, we're all implied

Last night another pickininny died

In the dirt filled gutters on the cold concrete

At the nightclub end of Hindley Street

Sit dusky young ladies learning the rules
G A
From drunks and traps and the hard knocks school
D F#m
Milky brown eyes from drinking all day
G A
Till it's time at the Carrington Cabaret

Down at the port a sick black mum
G A
Rings for a taxi but the taxi won't come
G A

But two hundred years ago we overran their land

Dreamtime's just a nightmare now, an alcoholic sleep
G A G A D A D A D A
Australia land of things to do have you got time to weep
D F#m G A

Oh our great free land of fire and rain

White man's wealth and black man's pain
