1848 You left your home Your mother, father, sons, and daughters How does it feel to be alone Unwelcomed stranger, unknown? They're working your hands down to the bone And still you have nothing to call your own The dream they boast about isn't for you No, it's isn't for you They don't give a shite about you They don't give a shite about you In 1848 you became A foreigner overnight In 1848 you became A foreigner overnight And now it's your turn to mine for gold And now it's your turn to mine for gold
