'Cause we are livin' in a land down under
Because I come from the land of plenty?"
I said, "Do you speak my language?"
"You better run, you better take cover"
And she said, "Do you come from a land down under?
And he took me in and gave me breakfast
(Oh)
(Yeah)
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
(Thunder)
Livin' in a land down under
Where women glow and men plunder
You better run, you better take cover
Where women glow and men plunder?
Dying in a den in Bombay
With a slack jaw and not much to say
Buying bread from a man in Brussels
He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
And he said, "I come from a land down under
Where women glow and men plunder
Can't you, can't you hear the thunder?
I said to the man, "Are you trying to tempt me
(Yeah)
He was six foot four and full of muscle
(Oh yeah, yeah)
Livin' in a land down under
And he said, "Oh, you come from a land down under?"
We are livin' in a land down under
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
"Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
Then I run and then I take cover
Then I run then I take cover
You better run, you better take cover"
Where beer does flow and men chunder
(Ooh yeah)
Where women glow and men plunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?"
You better run, you better take cover", yeah
