Australia

You play dumb, And I'll play clever . . .

You play dumb

And I'll play clever

And together we'll go on

For ever and ever

You play migrant

And I'll play indigenous

And together we'll pretend

That Australia has a white genus

You play dumb

And I'll play clever

And together we'll go on

For ever and ever

You pretend you don't know this land

And I'll pretend I own this land

But don't you worry

I'll give you some territory

And you will take it thankfully

And see it as salutary

So, you keep playing dumb

And I'll keep playing clever

And together we'll go on

For ever and ever
