Time Marches On
Somewhere along the line we seem to have lost our identity
Jackaroo crack a whip, remind me of just how it used to be
I'm driving in traffic, watching the sunset by car
When I should be out droving, guided by sun and by star
The world used to be such a far away place
Now I'm afraid it's just not the case
Our Australian heritage is just losing face
It's been sold
And it's leaving me cold
And whatever happened to the feeling of "She'll be right, mate"
Now we're all rushing, we've all been told, "Can't be late"
If you can solve it then do, if not why worry about it?
Time has a way of changing your life quite a bit
I don't like the hand we've been dealt by fate
And I'm starting to think it just might be too late
There once was a time when a mate was a mate
Now it's gone
Yes time marches on
Lately I've been looking around me and I've been crying
Seems to me the soul of the lucky country is dying
The world used to be such a far away place
Now I'm afraid it's just not the case
Our Australian heritage is just losing face
It's been sold
And it's leaving me cold
I don't like the hand we've been dealt by fate
And I'm starting to think it just might be too late
There once was a time when a mate was a mate
Now it's gone
Yes time marches on
Jackaroo crack a whip, remind me of just how it used to be
I'm driving in traffic, watching the sunset by car
When I should be out droving, guided by sun and by star
The world used to be such a far away place
Now I'm afraid it's just not the case
Our Australian heritage is just losing face
It's been sold
And it's leaving me cold
And whatever happened to the feeling of "She'll be right, mate"
Now we're all rushing, we've all been told, "Can't be late"
If you can solve it then do, if not why worry about it?
Time has a way of changing your life quite a bit
I don't like the hand we've been dealt by fate
And I'm starting to think it just might be too late
There once was a time when a mate was a mate
Now it's gone
Yes time marches on
Lately I've been looking around me and I've been crying
Seems to me the soul of the lucky country is dying
The world used to be such a far away place
Now I'm afraid it's just not the case
Our Australian heritage is just losing face
It's been sold
And it's leaving me cold
I don't like the hand we've been dealt by fate
And I'm starting to think it just might be too late
There once was a time when a mate was a mate
Now it's gone
Yes time marches on
