You wont listen to my songs anymore.
You ripped my poster off your wall.
'Cause I'm the singer that went to the war.
You see no good in me at all.
Well pardon me if I believe I haven't got it wrong.
And before you turn your back on me I'll sing you,
One more song...
'Cause I shook hands with a digger,
On the wrong side of the world.
With a wife at home who holds her breath,
And a brand new baby girl.
And the digger fights for freedom,
In a job that must be done.
And I let go of his hand so proud to be Australian.
But if unlike me you feel no pride at all,
Then go ahead and take me,
Off your wall.
But I prefer to be a poster girl,
On the wrong side of the world.
And I'm just the girl who sings the crazy songs.
Not qualified to sit 'n' judge.
I've been right and I know I've been wrong.
But I'm for peace and I'm for love.
And I admire the burning fire that causes you to fight.
I only wish the wrong side of the world,
Had the same right.
'Cause listened to the wisdom,
Of the Aussie Briggadeer.
He spoke of widows and of orphans,
And the need to dry their tears.
And he needs to fight for freedom,
In a job that must be done.
And I've never been more proud to say that I'm Australian.
And if unlike me you feel no pride at all.
Then go ahead and take me off your wall.
Cause I prefer to be a poster girl.
And maybe I'm nieve to think we all could get along.
But sir I read your words and all I ask,
Is hear my song.
I shook hands with a digger,
On the wrong side of the world.
With a wife at home who holds her breath and
A brand new baby girl.
And the digger fights for freedom,
In a job that must be done.
And I've never been more proud to say that I'm Australian.
And if unlike me,
You feel no pride at all.
Then go ahead and take me off your wall.
Cause I prefer to be a poster girl,
On the wrong side of the world.
I'm so proud to be a poster girl,
On the wrong side of the world.
