Worum geht es in dem Song?

Der Song 'Down Under' von 'Men at Work' ist ein ikonisches Lied, das australische Stereotype und nationale Identität dar...

Vom Album: Contraband (The Best of)

Traveling in a fried-out kombi
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast and she said

Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover

Buying bread from a man in Brussels
He was six-foot-four and full of muscles
I said, Do you speak-a my language??
He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich and he said

I come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover

Lying in a den in Bombay
With a slack jaw, and not much to say
I said to the man, are you trying to tempt me
Because I come from the land of plenty and he said

Oh! Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover

Chorus 3x
Living in a land down under
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover
