Lyrics
MY GENERATION Paul Finnerty/ Pat Powell My generation is to blame For Australia’s National shame We cannot say we did not know We ignored and let it go Our politicians sold us out We didn’t even raise a shout As total puppets we became Used in another nations game Globalisation is the name Trying to make a claim to fame Pillage and plunder all they can While our government bleeds the land Taken away our hard earned fights With no regard for civil rights Sold off our amenities ‘Cept for the ones that do not please People just have no say today And like our lambs their led astray I have to say that kids today Feel like they need to get away To get degrees they now must pay Just to get a job without fair play That’s the injustice of the day Others thrive while we fall away My generation don’t forget Bout Australia’s shame and debt Rally the kids and feel OK To guide them thru’ their work and play Australia was democracy Till one man made a drastic change Australia it’s not too late To hide our shame and make a change
