it's time to think of why we're proud to be a part of
a land so ancient
so hard to get a hold of
why the kangaroo and emu is on the baggy green
why do we sing of coolabahs
billabongs and cockatoos
do we really care
are we aware of what we lose
while we knock it down again and again and again
c'mon wattle soldiers
wildlife warriors get angry
they'll call you green
they'll call you red
just stay strong and turn your head
and think of little bilbies and gliders and rare wallabies
now's the time to stir again
it's time
it's time
it's time
it's time
it's time
yeah
it's time to stop the slaughter of our native land
no more telling lies
drawing lines in the sand
maybe we didn't know but surely now it's underhand
no more crocodile tears
did he die in vain
did he make us cry
did he suffer all his pain
so we could knock it down again and again and again
