Now and then I sit and wonder
How it is to live down under
And you say it's crystal clear
It's just the same to live up here
So I sit here still and wonder
Is it hard to live down under
And you say I must not fear
It's just the same to live up here
If you don't give people help
You can always give a smile
Although they are living in exile
You may have it all set up
Enjoying the life you lead
But that does not justify your greed
Think about what everyone will need
Now and then I ...
If love is just chemistry
And life is a melting pot
Believe everything will mean a lot
If hate is just foolishness
Some unessential state of mind
A better world is possible to find
If we all behave and act so kind
Don't break down
Don't break down
Don't break down our world
Don't break down ...
Now and then I ...
This is what you have to ponder
Who lives here and who's down under
What's the difference of the two
Don't you see they're just like you
