We don't know how lucky we are

When the bough breaks we'll never fall far

Mama's gonna buy you a brand new car

We don't know how lucky we, lucky we are

Someone call this a lucky country

Where our leadership is second rate

So the world outside's got bigger problems

We expect it all on a silver spoon

On a nickel plate, in an iron cup

On a tax free bed of gold

This place here was built by misfits

English, Irish, Scottish convicts

But a lot has changed since that invasion

So don't forget that this is not England

That it's not Ireland

That it's called Australia

What are you so afraid of?

The world outside's already here

What are you all afraid of?

Our sons and daughters turning queer?

What are you all afraid of?

Surpluses and equal rights?

People in boats that cost you votes?

They'll take our jobs, they'll take our wives

And kill our vibe

We don't know how lucky we are

When the bough breaks we never fall far

Gina's gonna buy you a brand new car

We don't know how lucky we, lucky we are

Someone call this a land of plenty

Where pockets are deep but hearts are empty

"Fuck off, we're full!" these words were spoken

As he laid it in with a racist joke

With a heavy yoke, with a gavel stick

And a bootcap made of steel

I never wanna hear you say

That you're never gonna live that way

So we'll kill ourselves for our occupation

And we'll let those die that try to take them

So much pain, so little glory

But we'll do what we must for that trip to Rome

For that brand new phone, for that reno'd home

For that tax free bed of gold

What are you so afraid of?

The world outside's already here

What are you all afraid of?

Our sons and daughters turning queer?

What are you so afraid of?

Surpluses and equal rights?

People in boats that cost you votes?

They'll take our jobs, they'll take our wives

And kill our vibe

We don't know how lucky we are

When the bough breaks we never fall far

Tony's gonna buy you a brand new car

We don't know how lucky we, lucky we are
