It's a race to the bottom
So stick your heads in the sand
Hear the wind kiss the surface of the river
Set fire to our sins
Washed up on the fatal shore
Dashed upon the rocks
Soaked in gin and holy wine and
Riddled the pox
Watch the ticks take the cattle
Watch the blood stain the sand
There was a massacre, on the mudflat
And the squatters moved in
Growling like an animal
Down there with the dogs
Fucking like an animal
Down there with the hogs
Send the boys to die on foreign soil
Then co-opt their legacy
To sell warm beer at the football
And piss on their memory
Tear the pages from the books of history
Settle in for the 6 o clock rot
Then turn a blind eye for a century
And Walk it off
Growling like an animal
Down there with the dogs
Fucking like an animal
Down there with the hogs
Growling like an animal
Down there with the dogs
Fucking like an animal
Down there with the hogs
Weighed down by ball and chain
Weakened by disease
I've been raised like a mongrel
I ain't got no pedigree
The politicians peddle
The newsman builds the pyre
Got me nailed to the cross
As the flames grow higher
Trampling sacred ground
Cursing at the sun
Leering at the ancient land
The ending has begun
Crawling through red dirt
Pulling down the trees
Poisoning the water holes
You call that young and free, don't pay
Growling like an animal
Down there with the dogs
Fucking like an animal
Down there with the hogs
