There's a road train going nowhere
|
Roads are cut, lines are down
|
We'll be staying at the Roma Bar
|
Till that monsoon passes on
|
|
The backbone of this country's broken
|
The land is cracked and the land is sore
|
People are hanging on by their fingertips
|
We cursed and stumbled across that shore
|
|
I hear much support for the monarchy
|
I hear the Union Jack's to remain
|
I see Namatjira in custody
|
I see Truganini's in chains
|
|
And the world it won't stand still
|
|
Blue collar work it don't get you nowhere
|
You just go round and round in debt
|
Somebody's got you on that treadmill, mate
|
And I hope you're not beaten yet
|
|
I hear much support for the monarchy
|
I see the Union Jack in flames, let it burn
|
I see Namatjira with dignity
|
I see Truganini's in chains
|
