© Norm Hacking, words & music (SOCAN)


Bones lie bleached
On a frontier trail
Hearts lie buried
At Wounded Knee
We left the 'best and brightest'
In the mud and the blood
Of some foreign shore
Across the sea

A thousand flags
And a million graves
It's 'Hail to the Chiefs'
And 'The Lords be praised'
Every god and king
We died to save
Left us marching
Through the Gates of Hell

chorus:
Last dance with the Bully God
Last chance to make it right
Last dance with the Bully God
There'll be no more
Waltzin' Matilda
For you tonight

Napalm creeping
Through the jungle vines
Proud boy soldiers
Marching with their guns
Knights in bloody armour
Fighting the Crusades
Mushroom clouds of death
Are blocking out the sun

chorus
