My Country
Illy

Yea this track is dedicated to the indigenous people of Australia

And the soldiers and the fire-fighters who protect it yea

Yea the strong stood silent much harder men wept

Polies broadcast live from the parliament steps

City slickers watched on

Bush cousins held breath

Hell on their door step and only half of them left

I fell asleep that night and dreamt the arsonists bled

And woke up to cries off with their heads

Soon drowned by the sight of the nation standing proud block step

Made me feel there're some issues that need to be addressed like

Those who don't agree with my freedom of choices

Should at least respect here they got the freedom to voice it

Media hype, sensationalized poison

Divide by our difference not build common points

But for all from Baghdad to Britain

Ain't feelin our lifestyle and living pack your bags good riddance

Can't question our morals, can't query our spirit

Cause we know when the fire come, heroes come with it

And this is my country, flaws and all

Still what our boys overseas at war for

So, I'm not hearin we ain't doin it right

Cause it's easy to criticize, it's easy to divide

But this is our country, young and free

We the sum of all nations, the sum of all creeds

Yeah, we invite, knowin when it's crunch time

We the sum of our people combined

We come together right

We rise to the problems

We're Australian, the size of our hearts stretch the size of our wallets

From guys on the front lines to

Guys in the office to the fire fighters trying to stop it

We aint perfect there's flaws

But in times of crisis we drop it count the losses

Look to the Southern Cross and pray

To whatever god we believe in to offer respite

To those left worse off from it

So each Anzac day and Australia day

We celebrate black white it doesn't matter your race

Whether its dawn services or barbies with your mates,

I wonder if diggers knew the pride in country they'd create

State to state, coast to coast, its hand on heart reciting the oath

It's a hand off to lighten the load

It's that fair go attitude that says more than anything presidents spoke

This is my country flaws and all

Still what our boys overseas at war for

So I'm hearing me doing it right

Cause its easy to criticize easy to divide

But this is our country young and free

We the sum of all nations sum of all creeds

Yea we aint fight knowing when its crunch time we the sum of our people combined

We come together right

I love hearing Europeans talk like

We lie beneath them

Cause our culture aint built on galleries and museums

Put us in arenas or put us on a beach

Or talk freedom aint no motherfucker gona beat us now

I'm nothing special i just rhyme kinda decent

Kids look to Anzacs for what a leader is

The lucky country home of the brave bastards

Who stand up fight and punch out their weight class

This is an one to my home one love to those

Whose strength they can't replicate in a photo

For souls in Gallipoli one love from home and on love for those who shot back on Kokoda

I'm over the anti-Oz fights Let them slide

I'm as ashamed as the next man by the race riots

But I plead Auzzies so till the planets collide I'll be a proud motherfucker with my flag raised high

This is my country flaws and all

Still what our boys overseas at war for

So I'm not hearin me doing it right

Cause it's easy to criticize easy to divide

But this is our country young and free

We the sum of all nations sum of all creeds

Yea we aint fight knowing when its crunch time we the sum of our people combined

We come together right

Yea now I'm not saying we're perfect we're far from it

And sometimes the bullshit gets in the way of us seeing how good we've actually got it

They wouldn't call it the lucky country if it wasn't mate

Yea
