[00:00.000]Matilda No More - Slim Dusty/Kasey Chambers
[00:05.540]Once Jolly swagmen went humpin' their swags
[00:09.770]And stuffed jolly jumbucks in their tuckerbags
[00:15.010]These days jolly junkies go on bag snatchin jags
[00:20.679]And steal to buy the poison they need
[00:24.849]The old swaggie just wanted a feed
[00:29.659]And who'll come a waltzing Matilda with me
[00:34.078]Oh Banjo this country's not what it used to be
[00:38.238]We've changed all your words and rewritten your score
[00:43.648]Now it's waltzing Matilda no more
[00:52.517]Once Henry and Mary on a warm afternoon
[00:56.946]Rode down a reedy river to the broad bright lagoon
[01:02.676]The song of the river is a long vanished tune
[01:07.776]Since they built the uranium mine
[01:12.275]What's just left now is just toxic slime
[01:16.705]And who'll come a waltzing Matilda with me
[01:21.175]Oh Henry this country's not what it used to be
[01:25.304]Days pass with a whimper and not with the roar
[01:30.614]And it's waltzing Matilda no more
[01:39.644]We cut down the trees and the land we reclaimed
[01:43.674]We ploughed and we planted
[01:45.774]Then we ploughed once again
[01:49.103]And again and again and again and again
[01:54.433]So now on a hot windy day
[01:58.883]We can watch our topsoil blown away
[02:03.402]And who'll come a waltzing Matilda with me
[02:07.791]The desert is marching down to the sea
[02:12.011]On the day that it stretches from shore to far shore
[02:17.391]We'll go waltzing Matilda no more
[02:26.461]Saturday night outside a Kings Cross hotel
[02:30.961]Kids with hard *** and soft bodies to sell
[02:36.351]Australia these children are halfway to hell
[02:41.401]Oh is this the best deal you can give
[02:46.081]Well I find that hard to believe
[02:50.311]And who'll come a waltzing Matilda with me
[02:54.421]Hey ANZAC is this what you fought to keep free
[02:58.941]A land fit for heroes or homeless and poor
[03:04.031]And it's waltzing Matilda no more
[03:08.671]And who'll come a waltzing Matilda with me
[03:12.861]This country could still be what we want it to be
[03:17.271]With care and compassion the dream we'll restore
[03:22.471]And we'll go waltzing Matilda once more yeah
[03:26.851]We'll go waltzing Matilda once more
