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
