The Last Of The Diggers Lyrics - Midnight Oil

Who will march for peace 

Now that the last of the diggers has gone 

All those who were released 

From Sulva Bay and from the Somme 

The Mallee is whipped by sand 

A great new silence blankets the land 

We sure need the stone age 

In the coming century 

Who will feed the poor 

Now that the saint of the gutters is gone 

Who will hear the call 

You lately come or native born 

For the touch of the Master's hand 

The eye of the Master still watches the lamb 

We sure need the Stone Age 

In the coming century 

The last of the diggers 

The last of the diggers 

The last of the diggers 

The last of the diggers has won 

Who gets sent to war 

Who'll lose a child to a foreign coast 

Who will leave our shore 

And come home rattling like a ghost 

This country can be cruel 

It'll leave you with scars that never heal 

We sure need the stone age in the coming century 

Still gonna need some stone age in the coming century 

The last of the diggers 

The last of the diggers 

The last of the diggers 

The last of the diggers has won
