SHE’LL BE RIGHT MATE
(1) THERE ONCE WAS A COUNTRY WHOSE FUTURE LOOKED GREAT ; THE TOUGHEST OF TIMES COULD NOT CRIPPLE HER FATE ;
BUT HAS SWEET SUCCESS LET HER EGO INFLATE ? FOR NOW IN AUSTRALIA IT’S SHE’LL BE RIGHT , MATE
THE RICH ARE TOO GREEDY BUT SHE’LL BE RIGHT , MATE ; THE POOR ARE TOO NEEDY BUT SHE’LL BE RIGHT , MATE .
JUST LIGHT UP THE BARBIE AND PILE UP YOUR PLATE - FOR THIS IS AUSTRALIA AND SHE’LL BE RIGHT , MATE !
(2) OUR KIDS ARE TECH-SAVVY BUT ILLITERATE ; THEY TEXT AND THEY TWEET BUT THEY CAN’T PUNCTUATE .
THEY ALL PLAY INSIDE NOW THEY’RE ALL OVERWEIGHT - BUT THIS IS AUSTRALIA SO SHE’LL BE RIGHT , MATE !
WE DON’T KNOW OUR HISTORY ,| BUT SHE’LL BE RIGHT , MATE ! OUR CULTURE’S A MYSTERY , BUT SHE’LL BE RIGHT , MATE !
OUR POLLIES TELL PORKIES AND NEVER TALK STRAIGHT - BUT THIS IS AUSTRALIA , SO SHE’LL BE RIGHT , MATE !
(3) WE MUST HAVE IT ALL AND WE DON’T WANT TO WAIT ; WE’RE REAL BIG ON SPENDING BUT SAVING WE HATE
WE’VE THROWN OUT THE RULES AND RESPECT’S OUT OF DATE - BUT THIS IS AUSTRALIA SO SHE’LL BE RIGHT , MATE !
THE WORLD’S GETTING WARMER BUT SHE’LL BE RIGHT , MATE ; THE TREES ARE IN TRAUMA BUT SHE’LL BE RIGHT , MATE .
WE OUGHT TO DO SOMETHING BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE - BUT THIS IS AUSTRALIA SO SHE’LL BE RIGHT , MATE !
WE OUGHT TO DO SOMETHING BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE - BUT THIS IS AUSTRALIA SO SHE’LL BE RIGHT , MATE !
