Cold Chisel Wild Colonial Boy Lyrics

Wild Colonial Boy Lyrics

I am a wild colonial boy

 My name you'll never see

 My land is ruled by Anglophiles

 And forces foreign to me

 I do not curse your referees

 In boardrooms far away

 Yeah who am I to question these

 Who plan their final day

 

 I've never known the jealousies

 The overcrowded pain

 I live and breathe the silences

 The dust where no man reigns

 

 I'm in love,

 I got blazing light

 Ten thousand miles of ocean

 I'm alone

 And there's more like me

 Ignoring the end of their show

 

 And when they shaft my brother dear

 And pay him off with lies

 I fill my hand with the Union card

 And aim between their eyes

 

 And if I smile,

 When they crawl around

 Too condescending to blame me

 I am young,

 Baby they're so old

 Gothic, religious and tame

 

 I am just a wild colonial boy

 My name you'll never see

 I breathe the silence that destroys

 All their desperate harmony
