What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Yea this track is dedicated to the indigenous people of Australia
2
And the soldiers and the fire-fighters who protect it yea
3
Yea the strong stood silent much harder men wept
4
Polies broadcast live from the parliament steps
5
City slickers watched on
6
Bush cousins held breath
7
Hell on their door step and only half of them left
8
I fell asleep that night and dreamt the arsonists bled
9
And woke up to cries off with their heads
10
Soon drowned by the sight of the nation standing proud block step
11
Made me feel there're some issues that need to be addressed like
12
Those who don't agree with my freedom of choices
13
Should at least respect here they got the freedom to voice it
14
Media hype, sensationalized poison
15
Divide by our difference not build common points
16
But for all from Baghdad to Britain
17
Ain't feelin our lifestyle and living pack your bags good riddance
18
Can't question our morals, can't query our spirit
19
Cause we know when the fire come, heroes come with it
20
And this is my country, flaws and all
21
Still what our boys overseas at war for
22
So, I'm not hearin we ain't doin it right
23
Cause it's easy to criticize, it's easy to divide
24
But this is our country, young and free
25
We the sum of all nations, the sum of all creeds
26
Yeah, we invite, knowin when it's crunch time
27
We the sum of our people combined
28
We come together right
29
We rise to the problems
30
We're Australian, the size of our hearts stretch the size of our wallets
31
From guys on the front lines to
32
Guys in the office to the fire fighters trying to stop it
33
We aint perfect there's flaws
34
But in times of crisis we drop it count the losses
35
Look to the Southern Cross and pray
36
To whatever god we believe in to offer respite
37
To those left worse off from it
38
So each Anzac day and Australia day
39
We celebrate black white it doesn't matter your race
40
Whether its dawn services or barbies with your mates,
41
I wonder if diggers knew the pride in country they'd create
42
State to state, coast to coast, its hand on heart reciting the oath
43
It's a hand off to lighten the load
44
It's that fair go attitude that says more than anything presidents spoke
45
This is my country flaws and all
46
Still what our boys overseas at war for
47
So I'm hearing me doing it right
48
Cause its easy to criticize easy to divide
49
But this is our country young and free
50
We the sum of all nations sum of all creeds
51
Yea we aint fight knowing when its crunch time we the sum of our people combined
52
We come together right
53
I love hearing Europeans talk like
54
We lie beneath them
55
Cause our culture aint built on galleries and museums
56
Put us in arenas or put us on a beach
57
Or talk freedom aint no motherfucker gona beat us now
58
I'm nothing special i just rhyme kinda decent
59
Kids look to Anzacs for what a leader is
60
The lucky country home of the brave bastards
61
Who stand up fight and punch out their weight class
62
This is an one to my home one love to those
63
Whose strength they can't replicate in a photo
64
For souls in Gallipoli one love from home and on love for those who shot back on Kokoda
65
I'm over the anti-Oz fights Let them slide
66
I'm as ashamed as the next man by the race riots
67
But I plead Auzzies so till the planets collide I'll be a proud motherfucker with my flag raised high
68
This is my country flaws and all
69
Still what our boys overseas at war for
70
So I'm not hearin me doing it right
71
Cause it's easy to criticize easy to divide
72
But this is our country young and free
73
We the sum of all nations sum of all creeds
74
Yea we aint fight knowing when its crunch time we the sum of our people combined
75
We come together right
76
Yea now I'm not saying we're perfect we're far from it
77
And sometimes the bullshit gets in the way of us seeing how good we've actually got it
78
They wouldn't call it the lucky country if it wasn't mate
79
Yea
