Wildlife Warriors: It's Time Lyrics - John Williamson

by John Williamson 

It's time to think of why we're proud to be a part of 

A land so ancient, so hard to get a hold of 

Why the kangaroo and emu is on the baggy green 

Why do we sing of coolabahs, billabongs and cockatoos 

Do we really care, are we aware of what we lose 

While we knock it down again and again and again 

C'mon wattle soldiers, wildlife warriors get angry 

They'll call you green, they'll call you red 

Just stay strong and turn your head 

And think of little bilbies and gliders and rare wallabies 

Now's the time to stir again 

It's time, it's time, it's time, it's time, IT'S TIME 

Yeah, it's time to stop the slaughter of our native land 

No more telling lies, drawing lines in the sand 

Maybe we didn't know but surely now it's underhand 

No more crocodile tears, did he die in vain 

Did he make us cry, did he suffer all his pain 

So we could knock it down again and again and again
