I am a wild colonial boy
|
My name you'll never see
|
My land is ruled by Anglophiles
|
And forces foreign to me
|
I do not curse your referees
|
In boardrooms far away
|
Yeah who am I to question these
|
Who plan their final day
|
|
I've never known the jealousies
|
The overcrowded pain
|
I live and breathe the silences
|
The dust where no man reigns
|
|
I'm in love,
|
I got blazing light
|
Ten thousand miles of ocean
|
I'm alone
|
And there's more like me
|
Ignoring the end of their show
|
|
And when they shaft my brother dear
|
And pay him off with lies
|
I fill my hand with the Union card
|
And aim between their eyes
|
|
And if I smile,
|
When they crawl around
|
Too condescending to blame me
|
I am young,
|
Baby they're so old
|
Gothic, religious and tame
|
|
I am just a wild colonial boy
|
My name you'll never see
|
I breathe the silence that destroys
|
All their desperate harmony
|
