Lyrics: We just want a barbie Crack a can or two put upon your thongs Aussie day is due Oh Lest we forget The footies on tonight can’t you just get over it You know she’ll be right 

We just want a barbie Crack a can or two put upon your thongs  Aussie day is due Oh Boundless space to share Somethings gotta give Can’t you just go home Find a place to live

This is Australia Look how I’m killing ya Locking your children up Filling my prisons up

This is Australia Look how I’m fearing ya Locking your children up Filling my prisons up

  This is Australia Look how I’m treating ya Say there’s no room for ya Quick to forget your name 

This is Australia Cops in my area Locking ya up Cause white man we scared of ya

  Yeh yeh Im’a go into this Ah ah forgetting our history Yeh yeh locking up refugees Ah ah oh how the irony Yeh yeh showing their fear in us Na na not knowing who we are Yeh yeh chuck you in Manus cause This is Australia 

Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh, tell somebody You go tell somebody Grandma told me “Get your land back” Get your land back, Black man Get your land back, Black man Get your land back, Black man Get your land back, Black man

This is Australia Look how you’re killing us Locking our children up Filling them prisons up 

This is Australia Look how I’m fearing ya Locking our children up Filling your prisons up

Take the pulse of my nation You can see the fear (fear) So casual with the racism You’re in denial here (here) Walk around with your face screwed up We can see it clear (clear) You want us all locked up hood strapped Don Dale style brother can you hear (what) 

We ain’t be asking for much (na) Just want our land back a bunch (yeh) Media stay on the hunt (ah) Spreading that fear over brunch (daily) 

Djabugay, Bunuba, Noongar Man Wiradjuri, Anangu, Yawuru Man They want us all in the lock up Or getting shot by the copper Blow 

This is Australia Home of the young and free sailed over seven seas labelled a refugee

  This is Australia Fear of the unknown What we don't understand We wanna send home 

Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh, tell somebody Australia, the Pacific Solution killed us and you mothafuckas owe us! Grandma told me Get your land back, Black man Get your land back, Black man Get your land back, Black man Get your land back, Black man
