You won't listen to my songs anymore
You ripped my poster off the wall
Cause I'm a singer that went to the war
You see no good in me at all
Pardon me if I believe that 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 that holds her breath...
With a brand new baby girl
And the Digger fights for freedom
In a Job that must be done
And I let go of his hands so proud
To be an Aus...tral...ian
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
And I'm just the girl who sings the crazy songs
Not qualified to sit and judge
I've been right and I've known I've been wrong
But I'm for peace and for love
And I admire the burning fire that causes you to fight
I only wish the wrong of the world
Had the same right....
Cause I listen to the wisdom of the Aussie Brigadeer
He spoke of widows and of orphans
And the need to dry their tears
And He leads the fight for freedom
In a job that must be done
And I've never been more proud to say
That I'm Aus...tral...ian
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
Maybe I'm naive to think we all could get along
But sir I read your words and all I ask...
Hear my song
I shook hands with a digger
On the wrong side of the world...
With a wife at home that holds her breath...
With a brand new baby girl
And the Digger fights for freedom
In a Job that must be done
And I've never been so proud
To say I'm Aus...tral...ian
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
