Warakurna |
There is enough for everyone |
In Redfern as there is in Alice |
This is not the Buckingham Palace |
This is the crown land |
This is the brown land |
This is not our land |
Some folks live in water tanks |
Some folks live in red brick flats |
There is enough, the law is carved in granite |
It’s been shaped by wind and rain |
White law could be wrong |
Black law must be strong |
Warakurna, cars will roll |
Don’t drink by the water hole |
Court fines on the shopfront wall |
Beat the grog and save you soul |
Some people laugh, some never learn |
This land must change or land must burn |
Some people sleep, some people yearn |
This land must change or land must burn |
Diesel and dust is what we breathe |
This land don’t change and we don’t leave |
Some people live, some never die |
This land don’t change this land must lie |
Some people leave, always return |
This land must change or land must burn |
Warakurna, camels roam |
Fires are warm and dogs are cold |
Not since Lassiter was here |
Black man’s got a lot to fear |
Some people laugh some never learn |
This land must change or land must burn |
Some people sleep, some people yearn |
This land must change or land must burn |
