One of us tonight! Aussie Rules!
Neon signs and city trains, boots on concrete late
First time through those turnstiles, mate, you'll feel the whole ground shake
You've heard us carry on about it, yeah, yeah, what's the fuss?
Then the lights come up, the noise rolls in, and now you're one of us
You can learn the rules at home, but it don't hit the same
When 80,000 hearts all beat like one big open flame
The centre Ump throws the ball up, bodies fly, are we gonna boom or bust?
Hold your breath till your team song plays, the moment that you trust!
You don't quite get it till you're standing right there
When the roar rolls in like a Kimberley tide
From the first ball up till the last siren blares
Don't matter where you're from, you're one of us tonight
One, Of, Us, Aussie Rules!
One, Of, Us, One of us tonight!
One, Of, Us, Aussie Rules!
One of us tonight
Names from every suburb, every country, every song
Old mates, new mates, first Australians cheering all night long
Big dreams or big money, kids look up and then they grin
Mac soars high, Nas flies free, and the whole joint lifts again
From the backyard to the MCG, from red dirt to the lights
You don't need the same old story, just the will to sing it right
And somewhere in the noise tonight, you swear you hear him chuckle
Centimetre perfect, then the crowd begins to rumble
You don't quite get it till you're standing right there
When the roar rolls in like a Kimberley tide
From the first ball up till the last siren blares
Don't matter where you're from, you're one of us tonight
One, Of, Us, Aussie Rules!
One, Of, Us, One of us tonight!
One, Of, Us
Aussie Rules!
One of us tonight
We're misty optically, yeah, but we still know the line
Footy's more than footy mate, it's family by design
Like a cork in the ocean, it pops back up again
So here's to Dennis in the booth, and every voice in every stand
You don't quite get it till you're standing right there
