"The Last of the Diggers" 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
