Looking for a Story |
Lookin' for a story to stir the Aussie soul |
But the truth won’t go away when you shovel in a hole |
Or bring a mother soulless when all her tears are shed |
And you hope there is a Heaven |
Yeah, looking for a story to make you cry with pride |
When a boy just out of school was taken for a ride |
From Dunkirk to Albany, to Egypt on a ship |
To diving deep in water with a bayonet on his hip |
To diving deep in water |
And no one has apologized for sending him to die |
On that stony beach or told his mother why |
No God can give an answer, no blessing can be found |
In a body blown apart, half buried in the ground |
But we do it again, and again, and again |
We send our boys to war |
Why’s the world so crazy when we’ve seen it all before? |
We talk about the bond old soldiers made |
The lonely words they said |
Before they lifted up their rifles and shot each other in the head |
They lifted up their rifles |
