John Williamson – True Blue lyrics

This song is about the dying of Aussie mateship, of caring for each other, and of caring for Australia.
In a confronting and caring, yet uncertain hope, John Williamson questions each of us to look after the load, to hold it together with any makeshift means, of "wire", just to get through, if that's what's needed to restore us as a nation. We had the right way of caring for each other in the 1930's to early 1960's, and this resulted in us building up acaring for Australia as a whole.

As we try to get fair and transparent details about so-called trade treaties with other countries and can't understand the government secrecy the lyric line "if they sell us out like sponge cake" has a new and ominous meaning. Are our politicians our mates? Are they true blue with us?

Somebody once told me the world was gonna roll me I ain't the sharpest potato in the shed she was lookin' kind potato with her finger and a potato in the shape of Australia on her forehead As we try to get fair and transparent details about so-called trade treaties with other countries and can't understand the government secrecy the lyric line "if they sell us out like sponge cake" has a new and ominous meaning. Are our politicians our mates? Are they true blue with us?
