Текст песни
Yeah, can't see what's not incarceration
Yet not one cop yet to be locked up
Palm Island lock up
Look up the sky's falling
Change course, look the law's talking
Saying nothing I ain't heard before
In my hood the police step out the car door
Is it too much? Is that what you're there for?
Racial profile, huh, and therefore
Assumptions get made
Man it must have been a good deal of hate
Made the country this way
Yo they took the children away
And there's still two systems of justice to this day
Sorry see that's a long way from sovereignty
White fellas still get away with robbery
Seem like we need a big corroborary
But we don't have to turn our backs on the apology
You can turn away or you can try to end the pain
If you could see how it really is
No time to entertain thoughts
We one blood yes of course
We of course as it is
Sun beats down and burns the white skin
Four fathers armed with sticks of lightning
Disease and booze with dehumanising
Cold iron of an empire rising
As pale as skin, as pale as death
Got swept like floodwater down full flood
We kidnapped children
That's what our enlightened pilgrims did to kill them
As genocide God's work we don't know a thing about shame
Just Darwin's refrain
Pass the blame like a sharing dispute
The racism inherent in the endless cycle
How can we celebrate Cook's arrival?
Now whole nations celebrate mere survival
What if your brother was Doomadgee
Or like Kev Carmody and Robbie's own eulogy
We're disgracefully so far along
With half-hearted attempts to address the wrong
Your land and mine we owe much more than money
That's where we're starting
You can turn away or you can try to end the pain
If you could see how it really is
No time to entertain thoughts
We one blood yes of course
We of course as it is
So much work to do
So much pain still
My heart cries out for you
No more excuses
No more blindfolds
We've got a job to do
I'm so sorry
We're so sorry
It's time to face the truth
It's way overdue
You can try to turn away
You can try to end the pain
If you could see how it really is
No time to entertain thoughts
We one blood yes of course
We of course as it is
I'm so sorry
We're so sorry
It's time to face the truth
