The Lucky Country ​The Basics

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 1]
Someone called this the lucky country
Where our leadership is second-rate
So while 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

And 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

[Pre-Chorus]
What are you so afraid of?
The world outside's already here
What are you all afraid of?
Our sons and daughter turning queer?
What are you all afraid of?
Surpluses and equal rights?
People in boats, they cost you votes
They'll take our jobs, they'll take our wives
And kill our vibe
