 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

Isn't it supposed to be twenty first century
But government abandonment's leaving communities bleeding 
Original peoples treated like second class citizens 
Colin Barnett still has the gall to say to all of them 
(Put yourself in my shoes for just a minute) 
Rich white man, nice house, inner western city limits 
Premier of a state established on stolen lands 
Exactly the kinda guy who reaps all of the benefits 
Thousands at parliament standing screaming at him 
that it always was always will be again 
Aboriginal lands he's trying to take them away 
Same game being played since seventeen eighty eight	
A circuit break; what we hope and need to be 
We need to see a switch in, the basics of policy 
From racism to sovereignty; a treaty in our time 
We better when we're one, united we survive! 

My feet stand on this country 
We're connected to the core 
Like the roots of a tree land keeps me strong 
More and more and more 
We have a spiritual connection 
It's our heart it's our soul 
Don't break my heart, my family 
Don't destroy our home 

We will not stand for the dismantling of the dreams of our elders 
Our communities are our home 

Closing our indigenous communities is lunacy 
They drive us in and kick us out and strip our opportunities 
Call me a whinging Abo ay yo that ain't freaking new to me 
I rep it musically at your funeral for a eulogy 
The importance of purity, of culture and unities 
Human communication and justice no matter who you be 
The destruction of sacred sites to dig for jewellery 
Uranium or coal, to poison the place of beauty see 
All of my dope family they grow and support 
With each eye open we climbing over slowing reports 
We know it's a rort, cos tony talks slow and distraught 
After cohorting with his mates in the courts on funding reforms 
Living the Gatsby life, see 'em connive and 
Probably swap wives at a chateau in the Forbes
Spinning the lies and cutting cultural ties 
They fucking multiple lives in the shadow of resource 
Dead shits claim we take tax money and get pissed 
But check this governments friends list and fighter jet fix 
There's stolen land under every house you can buy 
Least they can do is afford us the basic human rights

My feet stand on this country 
We're connected to the core 
Like the roots of a tree land keeps me strong 
More and more and more 
We have a spiritual connection 
It's our heart it's our soul
Don't break my heart, my family 
Don't destroy our home 

We will not stand for the dismantling of the dreams of our elders 
Our communities are our home 

Here we are now in the place I call country 
Some people are being racist and it's obvious they can't see 
The bigotry, the irony, in the things that kickstart these 
Fiery debates, like I don't wanna hear it, I'm done, please
Who the hell are you and who the hell am i
To sit and and deny anyone their cultural rights
Especially when that culture was here before mine 
And if you can't respect that we're gonna argue for nights! 
It's simple and plain to me, the ripples insane to see 
All across the nation the people are arguing 
Over the lives of other people they hardly 
Over really met or probably give a shit about 
Takes some clout, to remove them from their homes 
Multiple times like you're the boss of their own 
Makes me doubt, if you understand the throes 
Communities closing down's not something we condone 

It was their dream to go back to country 
We will fight this every step of the way
Until we can say our communities are safe 
From the threat of forced closures 

Our land is our home 
Our communities sit on our lands 
And our law is in that land 
And we shall not accept anything to do with forced closures 
We will fight this every step of the way
