Australians all let us rejoice,
For we are young and free;
yeah....unless you were a convict or a slave back in the early days.
We’ve golden soil and wealth for toil;
for real. this land is the most uninhabitable ever. whoever can farm on this shitty red clay deserves all the wealth they can get. did you know some parts of australia haven't seen rain since 2000?
Our home is girt by sea;
Our land abounds in nature’s gifts
Of beauty rich and rare;
In history’s page, let every stage
Advance Australia Fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia Fair.
well der. we're an island. what else would we be girt by?
as for the bext part, we're doing a great job of raping the land, dont you worry!
Beneath our radiant Southern Cross
We’ll toil with hearts and hands;
To make this Commonwealth of ours
Renowned of all the lands;
this is a good one. we toiled initially because we bloody had to! commonwealth? fat lot england did for us after they dumped the first 27 boatloads of poor saps here!
For those who’ve come across the seas
We’ve boundless plains to share;
plains. yes. millions of square miles of them...come one, come all...worth noting that 'we' didnt have that right to share it originally and it is debateable if we do now...
With courage let us all combine
To Advance Australia Fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia Fair.
dont get me wrong, i love my country, i am proud of it, i love the anthem in terms of it being 'us' and patriotic etc etc. but could we have possibly got a worse one? i doubt it.
