[Sample]
"Five metres! Four, three, two, one!
Gold to Australia! Gold to Australia!
Gold to Australia! Gold to Australia!"
Gold! Gold!

[Verse 1]
May all our young Aussie swimmers
Be resigned to failure
May our nation state
Be always second rate

[Sample]
"Five metres! Four, three, two, one!
Gold, gold, gold! Gold, gold, gold!"

[Verse 2]
May Timorese fishermen
Evade the Aussie sailor
May we do as history teaches
Die on Middle Eastern beaches

[Chorus]
Give up, give up, give up, give up
Give up, give up, give up, give up
Give up for Australia
Give up for Australia
Give up for Australia
Give up for Australia
[Sample]
Hands up, who wants to die?
Hands up, who wants to die?
Hands up, who wants to die?
Hands up, who wants to die?
Hands up, who wants to die?
Hands up, who wants to die?
Hands up, who wants to die?
Hands up, who wants to die?

[Verse 3]
We produce a Norman May
Not a Norman Mailer
May our land's vast distance
Always treat us with indifference

[Chorus]
Give up, give up, give up
Give up, give up, give up
Give up for Australia
Give up for Australia
Give up for Australia
Give up for Australia
