A simple message for when the music finishes
Pauline Said
[Verse 1]
Pauline said
Foreigners beware
Pauline said
She’s cutting the air
Pauline said
You made them aware
Spitting that fear like a prayer
[Chorus]
Pauline said
“just fuck off
We’ll get along fine” (hey!)
Yelling down the wire
Drawing that hard old line
Australia
Aussie in your mind
Australia
Aussie—who’s left behind?
[Verse 2]
Letterbox rust
Talkback rage
Polling booth ink on an angry page
Pauline said
Keep your boots in the sand
Sell you a flag
Call it “our land”
[Chorus]
Pauline said
“just fuck off
We’ll get along fine”
Yelling down the wire
Drawing that hard old line
Australia
Aussie in your mind
Australia
Aussie—who’s left behind?
[Bridge]
Whose voice is loudest in the hall?
Whose face is painted on the wall?
Pauline said
And they all fall in line
Or fall outside the sign
[Chorus]
Pauline said
“just fuck off
We’ll get along fine” (woah)
Echoes in the pub and the factory line
Australia
Aussie in your mind
Australia
Aussie—who’s left behind?
