We love what we're fighting for, home boys home...

  ('Cause)we know what we're fighting for, 
        D         G         D        A
  we believe in what we're fighting for
  D                  G 
  we love what we're fighting for, 
  D     A     G
  home, boys, home! 

we have lived through troubled times, five centuries or more
we could see the problems coming miles before they hit the shore
now, when others take and condescend, we'll wink and nod no more

CHORUS

we have made mistakes, it's true this ain't 'once upon a time'
and 'happy ever after' is a long way down the line 
but with poison tongues and attitudes and sharp and clever minds
oh! 

Chorus 

Half a million, side to side. from the big land to the bay
join a peaceful revolution, let's make history today
when the haves who finally conquered take the have-nots in their graves

CHORUS

if you're near or if you're far,facts can guard your native coast
tell the naive patronisers the whole truth, they need it most
just look 'em in the eye and say our battle cry, our toast,
cause it's now or it's never, we been pulled apart forever, 
if we'd only pull together, haul for home now lend a hand!
