Born Wild Under Southern Skies

🎸 “Chains on the Southern Cross”

Verse 1

Clock in, tune out, screens glowin’ bright,

They’re watchin’ every dollar, every step, every night.

Digital chains on the outback wind,

Takin’ our freedom, sellin’ our skin.

Pre-Chorus

They say it’s for safety, they say it’s for good,

But it don’t feel like the land it should.

Chorus

Yeah, they’re puttin’ chains on the Southern Cross,

Tellin’ the battlers what’s gain and loss,

We were born free, wild and proud,

Now we’re numbers in a system too loud!

Verse 2

Got a jab in the arm, got a code on the phone,

They track where ya been, even when you’re alone.

No cash in the pocket, no choice in your hand,

Feels like freedom’s slippin’ through the sand.

Pre-Chorus

We need someone standin’ for the common man,

A voice that don’t bend to the master plan.

Ones nations the one we should trust,

It's de

Chorus

Yeah, they’re puttin’ chains on the Southern Cross,

Tellin’ the battlers what’s gain and loss,

We were born free, we fight, we roar,

We ain’t takin’ it — not anymore!

Bridge – bluesy breakdown

Steel strings cry, the gumtrees moan,

Every Aussie heart feels it in the bone.

From the city lights to the desert dust,

It’s time to rise — rebuild that trust.

(Final Chorus)

Break those chains on the Southern Cross,

Stand tall, mate, no matter the cost,

We need real voices, hearts of flame,

Bring back freedom — in our name!

Outro

Yeah, this is our home, this is our fight,

For every Aussie battler holdin’ on tight,

No barcode soul, no digital leash,

Just the southern wind, and a taste of peace.
