Australian Dreaming Lyrics by The Tongue

Bloodwork: The Best of the Tongue

0

[Verse 1]
Woke up fresh from the deepest sleep
Had a vision last night that I wanted to keep
Cause I saw a new world, new ways of being
Let me tell you bout the dream and what I been seeing
Picture a positive headline in your morning paper
Cops that breath deep instead of popping the taser
A nurse and a teacher, paid like a banker
A ban on fake tan, the tears of a wanker
Alan Jones unemployed sunk like an anchor
A redneck dancing with a girl from Sri Lanka
Reggae on the radio, weed from the doctor
Politician break a promise he getting locked up
Free education like back in the 80's
Treating refugees like we were related
This country's amazing but we can make it better
Some say "It'll never change", I never say never
[Hook]
My brother said "let it go"
But my mamma said "don't stop believing"
Cause I liked what I saw when I closed my eyes
Back in my Australian dreaming
My friends say "Tonguey let it go"
But my girl says "Don't stop believing"
If you like what you see when you close those eyes
Gotta keep on Australian dreaming
[Verse 2]
I see beds for the homeless, and end of the war
On drugs, gay love, peace and the poor
A workday that finishes at half-past four
Laws against Nickleback strictly enforced
No hate for a Muslim, unless he's a prick
No love for a priest that be funny with the kids
Money for my music, mangos in the fridge
A million man march across the Harbour Bridge
Picture every last poker machine in the tip
Australian dreaming, man what a trip
Solar power meaning no more bills
No coal steam gas, shady Government deals
No ketamine mixed in my ecstasy pill
And the white-black gap getting closed for real
Yeah I saw it in my sleep but I know that we can do it
It's more than a dream if we start to pursue it
[Hook]
[Bridge Caiti Baker]
You know what you have seen inside your mind
You know that we can make it better
No limit to your dreams, just close your eyes
Wake up and change the world forever
[Hook]
