It's Good To Be An Aussie
It’s good to be an aussie,
No matter what you think...
We are not all Yobbo’s,
And we just don’t always, drink...
There are many cultures,
That make up this big clan...
A Heinz variety of people,
All with different tans...
The lingo is unique,
And it’s taken on a twist...
With 200 odd languages,
That makes it to the list...
The dress code it has changed too,
And the singlet is hard to find...
As we wear the latest fashions,
All the top designs...
We’ve gone from Yobbo’s into Yuppies,
Just look at what we’ve done...
Have we lost our own identity,
In the pursuit of having fun...
Our land is rich in heritage,
With many wonders of the world...
I just hope we keep the balance,
As our mineral wealth’s unfurled...
We pride ourselves on friendliness,
A caring, and loving lot...
But many are not welcomed here,
When they cruise in on their yachts...
We’ve put them in a holding pen,
Just like our export cattle...
All waiting for trip back home,
To face another battle...
There are many things that happen,
And some don’t seem to care...
We’ve left our fellow aussie’s,
To face hardship and despair...
Now that’s just un australian,
And it’s cut into the core...
We were born to help our mates,
We need to settle up the score...
So stand up upon that soapbox,
And let’s all have a say...
As we all live here together,
Each and every day...
