lirik lagu she's australian - ted egan
she comes from macedonia, lebanon, cambodia
el salvador, chile or perhaps she’s vietnamese
she’s working in the factory bringing up her family
she’s all she’s all she’s all already one of these
her clothes are somewhat different
she doesn’t speak much english
worships at a different church and never tasted beer
she’s working away relentlessly
she’s good for the economy
in evеry sense this woman’s an australian pioneer
she’s hеre, she’s here, she’s living over here
she’s not an alien, she’s australian
and she’s a pioneer
she’s out there on the factory floor
leg’s are aching, feet are sore
mindless repetition but she hopes it’s for the best
wandering am i pregnant? can we afford another child?
longing longing for a decent hard~earned rest
the factory whistle blows she quickly hurries for the bus
ignores the jeers and insults, pretends she doesn’t hear
running through the shopping, cook the family dinner
no rest for her this woman, this australian pioneer
she’s here, she’s here, she’s living over here
she’s not an alien, she’s australian
and she’s a pioneer
she doesn’t drive a bullock wagon
pretty sure she can’t ride a horse
but i consider if she had to
she would quickly find a way
she’s nonetheless a sister to the women of another time
who did those things they surely did which are revered today
she came up to australia from a homeland wracked by poverty
hunger and oppression, a life of constant fear
but nonetheless it’s difficult, cause life is so bewilding
and the woman’s never heard the phrase or word
a pioneer
she’s here, she’s here, she’s living over here
she’s not an alien, she’s australian
and she’s a pioneer
the kids are home from school but the city’s just so stifling
remember all those dreams about the beaches, bush and sun
late at night she sits a while thinking of her childhood
reflecting, reflecting on this new life she’s begun
but her son locked way for collingwood, her daughter’s lorna bate?
and australia should be grateful that she came over here
working in the factory, bringing up her family
laying the foundations, this australian pioneer
she’s here, she’s here, she’s living over here
she’s not an alien, she’s australian
and she’s a pioneer
she’s here, she’s here, she’s living over here
she’s not an alien, she’s australian
and she’s a pioneer
