[Chorus]
C#m
We don't know how lucky we are
C#m
When the bough breaks we'll never fall far
C#m
Mama's gonna buy you a brand new car
C#m
We don't know how lucky we, lucky we are
[Interlude]
C#m B G# A (x2)
[Verse 1]
C#m C#m B G# A
Someone called this the lucky country
C#m C#m B G# A
Where our leadership is second-rate
C#m C#m B G# A
So while the world outside's got bigger problems
G# A
We expect it all on a silver spoon
G#
On a nickel plate, in an iron cup
C#m B G# A
On a tax-free bed of gold
C#m C#m B G# A
And this place here was built by misfits
C#m C#m B G# A
English, Irish, Scottish convicts
C#m C#m B G# A
But a lot has changed since that invasion
G# A
So don't forget that this is not England
That it's not Ireland
G#
That it's called Australia
[Interlude]
C#m B G# A (x2)
[Pre-Chorus]
G# A
What are you so afraid of?
C#m B G# A
The world outside's already here
G# A
What are you all afraid of?
C#m B G# A
Our sons and daughter turning queer?
G# A
What are you all afraid of?
C#m B G# A
Surpluses and equal rights?
C#m B G# A
People in boats, they cost you votes
G# A G# A
They'll take our jobs, they'll take our wives
G# A
And kill our vibe
[Chorus]
C#m
We don't know how lucky we are
C#m
When the bough breaks we'll never fall far
C#m
Gina's gonna buy you a brand new car
C#m
We don't know how lucky we, lucky we are
[Interlude]
C#m B G# A (x2)
[Verse 2]
C#m C#m B G# A
Someone called this the land of plenty
C#m C#m B G# A
Where pockets are deep, but hearts are empty
C#m C#m B G# A
And "f**k off, we're full", these words were spoken
G# A
As he laid in it with a racist joke, with a heavy yoke
G# G#
With a gavel stick and a boot cap made of steel
[Interlude]
C#m B G# A (x2)
[Bridge]
G# A
And I never wanna hear you say
G# A
That you're never gonna live that way
E G# E G#
For I---, for I---
[Verse 3]
C#m C#m B G# A
So, we kill ourselves for our occupation
C#m C#m B G# A
And we'll let those die that try to take them
C#m C#m B G# A
So much pain, so little glory
G# A
But we'll do what we must for that trip to Rome
G#
For that brand new phone, for that reno'd home
G#
For that tax-free bed of gold
[Interlude]
C#m B G# A (x2)
[Pre-Chorus]
G# A
What are you so afraid of?
C#m B G# A
The world outside's already here
G# A
What are you all afraid of?
C#m B G# A
Our sons and daughter turning queer?
G# A
What are you all afraid of?
C#m B G# A
Surpluses and equal rights?
C#m B G# A
People in boats, they cost you votes
G# A G# A
They'll take our jobs, they'll take our wives
G# A
And kill our vibe
[Chorus]
C#m
We don't know how lucky we are
C#m
When the bough breaks we'll never fall far
C#m
Gina's gonna buy you a brand new car
C#m C#m
We don't know how lucky we, lucky we are
