Adrift in a boat
Paying for escape
A people in this world so dislocated
Praying you won't sink
With nothing to drink
You're saved somehow by a Norwegian ship
They're sending you wherever they can
Maybe Aotearoa Nauru or some other Pacific Island
Sending you wherever they can
Mr Howard's Aussi government just doesn't want to let you in
Sending you wherever they can
Maybe Aotearoa Nauru or some other Pacific Island
Sending you wherever they can
Mr Howard's Aussi government just doesn't want to let you in
You're hoping for permission to stand
Free in some Van Diemen's land
But gun boats and the military
Stopped you dreaming out at sea
They're sending you wherever they can
Maybe Aotearoa Nauru or some other Pacific Island
Sending you wherever they can
Mr Howard's Aussi government just doesn't want to let you in
Sending you wherever they can
Maybe Aotearoa Nauru or some other Pacific Island
Sending you wherever they can
Mr Howard's Aussi government just doesn't want to let you in
They're dividing you
They're dividing you
Oh it's despicable
They're dividing you
They're dividing you
Oh it's despicable
Adrift in a boat
Paying for escape
A people in this world so dislocated
