My Country Lyrics - Singles - 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 

Photos 

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
