Your Country's Been Sold - Slim Dusty - Smokey Dawson - Australian Song

Your Country's Been Sold - Slim Dusty - Smokey Dawson

You Say You Belong To Australia My Friend
& Rightly You'd Die For This Land To Defend 
But Let Us Be Honest it's Sad But Is True 
Australia My Friend Doesn't Belong To You

Our Country's Been Sold By The Powers That Be 
To Big Wealthy Nations Way Over The Sea
We Couldn't Be Taken With Bayonet Or Lead
So They Decided To Buy Us Instead

And Talking Of Wars  & The Blood That Was Spilt 
The Widows; The Crippled &The Ones That Were Killed 
&I Often Wonder If They're Ghosts Can See 
What's Happening To Their Native  Country 

I wonder If Ghosts Of The Fallen Can See
The Crime; The Corruption & Poverty
With A Lost Generation Of Youth On The Dole 
Adrift on Life Oceans Without Any Goal

I Once Had A a Dream Of Our Country So Grand 
The Rivers Outback  Irrigated The Land
Towns & Canals In That Wasteland Out There 
With Big Inland Cities with Work Everywhere 
with Profit From Factory, Farming & Mine 

Was Used To Develop A Nation So Fine  

Then I Woke From My Dream To Reality 
That The Wealth Of Our Nation Goes Over The Sea 
 You Say You Belong To Australia My Friend
And Rightly You'd Die For This Land To Defend 

But Let Us Be Honest it's Sad But Is True 
Australia My Friend Doesn't Belong To You

David Collins (1756 - 1810)

David Collins Sailed Out On The First Fleet With Arrhur Phillip And The Other Ships on the SIRIUS

His Warrant Was To Be Judge Advocate Under The Lieutenant General Or Commander In Chief Arrhur Phillip.  

David Collins Wrote In His Journal - 

"The Spot Chosen, Was At The Head Of The Cove, Near The Run Of Fresh Water, Which Stole Silently Through A Very Thick Wood; The Stillness Of Which Had Then, For The First Time Since Creation, Been Interrupted By The Rude Sound Of The Labourer's Axe... And The Downfall Of Its Ancient Inhabitants. A Stillness And Tranquility Which; From That Day Were To Surrender And Give Way To The Voice Of Labour... And The Confusion Of Camps And Towns..."
