Men At Work – Down Under – 1981

    Paroles

    Traveling in a fried-out Kombi
    On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
    I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
    She took me in and gave me breakfast
    And she said

    Do you come from a land down under?
    Where women glow and men plunder?
    Can’t you hear, can’t you hear the thunder?
    You better run, you better take cover

    Buying bread from a man in Brussels
    He was six-foot-four and full of muscle
    I said, « Do you speak-a my language? »
    He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich
    And he said

    I come from a land down under
    Where beer does flow and men chunder
    Can’t you hear, can’t you hear the thunder?
    You better run, you better take cover, yeah

    Lyin’ in a den in Bombay
    With a slack jaw, and not much to say
    I said to the man, « Are you trying to tempt me
    Because I come from the land of plenty? »
    And he said, oh

    Do you come from a land down under? (Ooh yeah yeah)
    Where women glow and men plunder?
    Can’t you hear, can’t you hear the thunder?
    You better run, you better take cover (’cause we are)

    Living in a land down under
    Where women glow and men plunder
    Can’t you hear, can’t you hear the thunder?
    You better run, you better take cover

    Living in a land down under
    Where women glow and men plunder
    Can’t you hear, can’t you hear the thunder? (Ooh yeah)
    You better run, you better take cover (we are)

    Living in a land down under (ooh yeah)
    Where women glow and men plunder
    Can’t you hear, can’t you hear the thunder?
    You better run, you better take cover

    Living in a land down under (living in a land down under)
    Where women glow and men plunder
    Can’t you hear, can’t you hear the thunder?
