The country is young
Just crawled to its feet
Takes a step and collapses
All in a heap
Resist the temptation
To slap the child down
Try to remember its age
Realise the potential
Deflect all the rage
Not too big on the sharing
The gentle or the caring
The country is young
The country is young
Lost like an orphan
The day it was found
Dragged down to the river
But it just wouldn't drown
So big and so clumsy
Never knew it was born
Suddenly torn
In bright lights and loud noise
Gotta wipe its fat arse
And buy it some toys
Not too big on the sharing
The gentle or the caring
The country is young
The country is young
The country is young
It's got bad growing pains
Growing out of its clothes
Stretching out on the plains
And one day I know
Before it's much older
It's gonna pick up the phone
And call the cops on me
Beat on itself to set us all free
Not too big on the caring
The gentle or the sharing
But still so much fun
The country is young
