One Country - Midnight Oil

Written by：Jim Moginie

Who like to change the world

Who wants to shoot the curl

Who gets to work for bread

Who wants to get ahead

Who hands out equal rights

Who starts and ends that fight

And not not rant and rave

Or end up a slave

Who can make hard won gains

Fall like the summer rain

Now every man must be

What his life can be

So don't call me the tune

I will walk away

Who wants to please everyone

Who says it all can be done

Still sit up on that fence

No-one I've heard of yet

Don't call me baby

Don't talk in maybes

Don't talk like has-beens

Sing it like it should be

Who laughs at the nagging doubt

Lying on a neon shroud

Just gotta touch someone

I want to be

So don"t call me the tune

I will walk away

Call me the tune

I will walk away

Call me the tune

I will walk away

(one country one country one country)

One country one

Who wants to sit around

Turn it up turn it down

Only a man can be

What his life can be

One vision one people

One landmass

We are defenceless

We have a lifeline

One ocean one policy

Seabed lies

One passion one movement

One instant

One difference one lifetime

One understanding country one

One country one country

It"s one country

(One country one country one country)

(One country one country )

One understanding

Transgression redemption

One island

Our placemat one firmament

One element one moment

One fusion yes and one time
