Wild Colonial Boy - Cold Chisel

I am a wild colonial boy

My name you’ll never see

My land is ruled by Anglophiles

And forces foreign to me

I do not curse your referees

In boardrooms far away

Yeah who am I to question these

Who plan their final day

I’ve never known the jealousies

The overcrowded pain

I live and breathe the silences

The dust where no man reigns

I’m in love

I got blazing light

Ten thousand miles of ocean

I’m alone

And there’s more like me

Ignoring the end of their show

And when they shaft my brother dear

And pay him off with lies

I fill my hand with the Union card

And aim between their eyes

And if I smile

When they crawl around

Too condescending to blame me

I am young

Baby they’re so old

Gothic, religious and tame

I am just a wild colonial boy

My name you’ll never see

I breathe the silence that destroys

All their desperate harmony
