They invaded, degraded, and polluted our land
Stole all the children and raped our women
But no matter how long or how far I roam
I still call Australia home
Still call Australia home
Still call Australia home
Or the Murray's, we still call it home
Or the Curry's, they still call it home
Or the Curry's, they still call it home
Or the Murray's, they still call it home
I said no, they don't really wanna see
Every page in the book of our history
(No) They gotta change their policy
To understand us cause they really don't
What about the fact that we own this land
Maybe we got up and they came and stuffed it around
The fact that some of us turned to drink
Maybe you didn't think that they came and stuffed it up
We still call Australia home
Still call Australia home (We, we still call it home)
We still call Australia home
Still call Australia home (We, we still call it home)
We still call Australia home
Still call Australia home (We, we still call it home)
We still call Australia home
Still call Australia home (We, we still call it home)
I said no (no), we didn't walk off our land
And no (no), we don't get money in the hand
And no (no), we're not a bunch of lazy drunks
And no (no), this is our land
You got a problem with us? Come sort it out
Sitting back, talking crap with your work mates
You don't know where we're from, where we've been, what we've been through
The only thing you see is 2D through the media
If you don't know then find out [?]
Peripheral vision decision that you're missing
It's a crap history but it's still our story
In this place called [?], the place where we belong
We still call Australia home
Still call Australia home (We, we still call it home)
We still call Australia home
Still call Australia home (We, we still call it home)
We still call Australia home
Still call Australia home (We, we still call it home)
We still call Australia home
Still call Australia home (We, we still call it home)
Don't sweep it under the rug
Just like everybody does, they wish we never us
(No) Then they forget the past
But we never will and they blame it on us
What about the fact that we own this land
Maybe we got up and they came and stuffed it around
The fact that some of us turned to drink
Maybe you didn't think that they came and stuffed it up
Let me Abo's go loose, Lou
Let me Abo's go loose:
They're of no further use, Lou
So let me Abo's go—
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down
We still call Australia home
Still call Australia home
They ask me why I call Australia home
Still call Australia home
We still call Australia home
Still call Australia home
No matter what we've been through
Still call Australia home
"Change your attitude, change your plan"
"Change your attitude, change your plan"
"Change your attitude"
"Change your attitude, change your plan
There could never really be justice on stolen land"
Stole all the children and raped our women
But no matter how long or how far I roam
I still call Australia home
Still call Australia home
Still call Australia home

Or the Curry's, they still call it home
