[Verse 1]
Native sun arising
Concrete walls are falling
Down into the sea
Are you as happy as me?

[Verse 2]
Native sons are sleeping
Concrete walls are calling
Peg questions, give no clue
Am I as happy as you?

[Refrain]
He's just a local boy
It's good he doesn't know
It's good he doesn't know
He's just a local boy

[Verse 3]
Native walls are calling
Concrete sons are falling
Are you as happy as you?
Peg questions give no clue

[Verse 4]
Native walls arising
Concrete sons are sleeping
Am I as happy as me?
Down into the sea
[Refrain]
He's just a local boy
It's good he doesn't know
It's good he doesn't know
He's just a local boy

[Verse 5]
Native walls arising
Concrete sons are sleeping
Peg questions, give no clue
Lost boys, ocean zoo

[Verse 6]
Native sun arising
Concrete walls are falling
Down into the sea
Are you as happy as me?

[Refrain]
He's just a local boy
It's good he doesn't know
It's good he doesn't know
He's just a local boy

[Outro]
He's just a local boy
It's good he doesn't know
It's good he doesn't know
