Who Let You In?

about

Written by Pete - with a little musical help from Gus and Neil.

Australia may be one of the great countries to live in, but sometimes our politics are vile and heartless. And we have more than enough redneck bastards. We join the coalition of the willing, bomb the buggery out of Iraq and Afghanistan et al, then deny the totally innocent refugees a place to live. We try to turn them back, and if we can’t we put them in Detention ( read concentration ) Centres. To the First Australians all settlers are ‘boat people’ so what gives us the right ( now that we live in this great country ) to say other people shouldn’t have the opportunity we had ?? Stingey or what ???

lyrics

WHO LET YOU IN ?
©2010 Peter Reid

IF YOU’RE NOT FIRST AUSTRALIAN
SOMEONE IN YOUR FAMILY HAS BEEN AN ILLEGAL ALIEN
BUT YOU’RE MIGHTY GLAD THAT SOMEONE LET THEM IN
YEA YOU’RE MIGHTY GLAD THAT SOMEONE LET THEM IN

YOU KNOW IT AIN’T NO MYSTERY,
LOOK UP YOUR FAMILY HISTORY, THEY CAME ACROSS THE SEA
BET YOU’RE MIGHTY GLAD SOMEONE LET THEM IN
YEA YOU’RE MIGHTY GLAD SOMEONE LET THEM IN

NOW WE’RE ALL AUSSIES TOO
ACCEPTED AS TRUE BLUE AY MATE ?
THE GOOD LIFE THROUGH AND THROUGH
FIRST AUSTRALIANS LET US SHARE
OUR ANTHEM SAYS FAIR’S FAIR
‘FOR THOSE WHO’VE COME ACROSS THE SEAS
WE’VE BOUNDLESS PLAINS TO SHARE’

SO FAIR CRACK OF THE WHIP MATE
YOU KNOW THAT “IT’S OUR SHOUT”
SHARE THE THINGS THAT MAKE OUR COUNTRY GREAT
SHOW THE WORLD WHAT BEING AUSSIES ALL ABOUT
SHOW THE WORLD WHAT BEING AUSSIES ALL ABOUT

SO DO UNTO OTHERS MATE
DON’T TURN THEM BACK, DON’T MAKE THEM WAIT
THAT’S NOT THE WAY WE ARE
DO THE RIGHT THING, COME ON, LET THEM IN
BE TRUE BLUE, COME ON, LET THEM IN
