Bodies washed upon our shores
Women, children, homeless, more
A rickety boat
Brims with lost souls
Who braved a lonely sea
To be like you
To be like me
To be Australian
To be lucky
Oh they envy you
The damned do
Those you sent to nauru
A lonely child
A small thing
Daddy didn't make it
I'm sorry sweetie
Welcome to war
And once you learn to know
You'll fall down on your knees
It'll break you
To be like you
To be like me
To be Australian
To be lucky
Oh they envy you
The damned do
Those you sent to nauru
What does it take
Twenty five years
How long do they wait
To stop shedding tears
Treat them like crimals
Animals
Fugitives
And they'll forgive it
For one chance
To be like you
To be like me
To have a home
A whole family
To be like you
To be like me
To be Australian
To be lucky
They envy us
The damned men do
The men in cages
Refugees
Leave it all behind
Leave your home
Your family
Risk your life
For a chance to live
You gotta be desperate
To come over here
And all they want is
To be like you
To be like me
To be Australian
To be lucky
They envy you
The damned do
The men you chained
In nauru
