[Intro]
How long will it take?
How long do we wait?

[Verse 1]
Tell me once again Cook fount it
A ghost town they claimed for England
Sunburnt realm of a distant kingdom
Untold riches, that is what it would bring them
Guided by the righteous whiteness within them
Terra nullius land that belonged to no one
Some black fellas here, they got no guns
And we'll quell rebellion but that ain't no rum
She's got red dirt, she's got blue gums
She knows drought well, yeah she'll bring you some
She'll swallow you up like Burke and Wills son
And this ain't London, but we'll try build one
Though it's uphill, and done by spilt blood
We did not know the land or climate
The eyes that we farmed with for years were blinded
But there's no going back, that's why we signed up
We made our mind up, you let me say


[Pre Hook]
Mark my words, we in a gold rush
Youth can't hide the fact we getting older
A little outpost that boxed above weight
In the process became great
Mark my words, we in a gold rush
Youth can't hide the fact we getting older
And all of this could be what we imagine
And that could be the national anthem
