People Of Australia Lyrics - Midnight Oil

Yeah, people of australia, sing this song 

See many faces from many places, yeah 

We all live in one country 

But we all come from many others you see 

United we dearly hold 

The principles of equality 

And dignity 

And sanctity 

People of australia 

We live in a very, very old place 

The aboriginal people have lived here for 40,000 50,000 60,000 years 

They didn't sell it to anybody 

They didn't give it away for toys 

They didn't trade it in for houses up the coast 

They had it stolen off of them, they had it nicked off them 

People of australia 

People of australia 

Our continent is immense 

It is unique in the world 

But it needs our r.e.s.p.e.c.t. 

Our devotionality 

Our continent, our home it needs wise management 

Some wise management 

Your wise management
