We owe you nothing China
We owe you nothing, China!
We owe you nothing, China
Without you, we survive,
When we begin our lives again,
It's you we will deprive.
Of our products, of our food,
With you, we shall not trade,
We will only buy the products,
That are Australian made.
You think you have us fooled,
You couldn't be more wrong,
We may be divided now
But together we stand strong.
If you haven't figured out yet,
Let me point this out
We love our lucky country
It's in you, we have such doubt.
Australia will be whole again
it's you that will feel defeat,
As we rise up from this challenge,
And stand firmly on our feet.
But thank you for the lessons
That i hope our leaders learned,
To not put our faith in others
Whom our trust has not been earned.
You fail your own country, China,
Us Australians have more pride
And we won't fall but conquer
As we stand by each other's side.
So let us teach you a lesson,
Mess with one, you mess with all,
Us Australians, we don't give up
But together we stand tall.
So stop what you are doing,
Repent to the world, your sin,
As you see us all unite again,
And not give up, but to WIN..
