Hard work and human sacrifice
Hard times and struggle true
Forging a way of life my friend
For the children of the new
Climbing the steps of progress
Land and riches grew
A country built with blood sweat and tears
By forbears for me and you
They planted the seeds of our land
To reap and make the bread
They grew the trees on our land
To build our homes and our beds
They mined the iron in our land
For us to make the steel
For us to build the ships and the cars
So goes the spinning wheel
Stripped of all will and skilled no more
Folk's fears brushed aside
By sole-less greedy directors
And myopic Politi'
Shifting money and work offshore
Protected trade denied
The Australian way of life sold out
Now in a third world slide
Spine-less shifty men at the helm
Steering our ship toward the storm
With gilded oars and boats they'll flee
While we all thrash forlorn
