verse 1:
G                  Am                  C             E
First and last men walk this earth but only a few survive
        G                      Am                        C                E/G#
I'm the wizard of aus and I've got it all planned for my first nuclear device
  G                       Am                        C                     E/G#
I don't really care about which way you vote cos my gerrymander works out fine
  G                            Am                  C                      E/G#
I sell desert stretches like a big rubber glove to Japan for a nuclear device

G                 Am                  C                   E/G#
Brisbane men stay home at night cos I outlawed all of the vice
        G                      Am                          C               E/G#
I'm the wizard of aus and I've rolled the streets dreaming of a nuclear device
   G                        Am                C                   E/G#
If I could get lucky I'd go out on my own and sell Australia the rice
