Verse 1:
First and last men walk this earth but only a few survive
I'm the wizard of aus and I've got it all planned for my first nuclear device
I don't really care about which way you vote cos my gerrymander works out fine
I sell desert stretches like a big rubber glove to Japan for a nuclear device
Nuclear device! (play: A D C E)
Nuclear device! (play: A D C E)
Nuclear device! (play: A D C E)
F G Bb C (x2)
If I could get lucky I'd secede from the states, I'd buy the country at an incredible rate!
Verse 2:
Brisbane men stay home at night cos I outlawed all of the vice
I'm the wizard of aus and I've rolled the streets dreaming of a nuclear device
If I could get lucky I'd go out on my own and sell Australia the rice
Nuclear device! (play: A D C E)
