Imagine he was black And the boy was white Out to get revenge Out to claim his right Elijah's life was taken Just for riding a bike The judge said that's ok The white room understood the spite Nothing much has changed It takes time Seeps into our brains Handed down through life Imagine he was black And the boy was white Taking what wasn't his Something you can't own (like country) Raging "I am a man" (Civil Rights Movement: Memphis sanitation strike 1968) Black lives matter But only in certain ways If the man put up a fight Opposed his country being torn White law would crash down hard Offering no reform Guns versus spears Guns versus words Trying to find a place In this ripped up world How do we undo What our ancestors stole How do we give back And stop colonialist rule It started with Cook It continues on today White killing black In every kind of way Going blind from bombs (Maralinga tests 1956-1963) Coz no one lives out there Dumping all the waste (Nuclear proposal at Twelve Mile Creek 1998, abandoned after a 6 year battle. Current Nuclear waste dump proposals at Barndioota, Flinders Ranges and Kimba) In the middle of no where

No legs are safe from prying eyes Unwanted gaze creeping' up your thighs Spring is here Summer is nigh See through your eyes See through your lies Your eyes convey This body yours not mine Lies Like hypnotised Eyes alive like zombie Eating me alive No one is safe from prying eyes Unwanted gaze creeping' up your thighs Wanna kick in your face And stab out your eyes

Vilified By the doctrine of christ Demonised Classified as lesser than human Heresy Condemned to die Burnt alive at the stake By will of the church And the preachers of woman hate Heresy

Six years in opposition Tuesday night’s the night Neoliberal hell on earth, unleash cancerous blight No escape from your fate Lying dead, your throat slit Dead down, in the ground Bourgeois fantasies, violence against the poor Cut the smug look off your face first casualty of class war No escape from your fate Lying dead, your throat slit Dead down, in the ground As your body rots and fades We’ll be dancing on your grave As your blood starts to pool Tuesday night budget blues

Taken, the movement's in you You face it, the void that finds you And it drags you in, a wave is crowning It crashes in to leave you drowing And like an out of body force again Like an out of body force is pulling you in You feel it, a wrestless beating And scratching with fingers weeping It pulls you in, a heavy hand is a friend in sin This force is a body gone

Enforcing prohibition due to the lack of education That excessive consumption will always lead to devastation. Turing a blind eye to other means of intoxication Because they say that it calms the members of the community. All this leads to is frustration Demotivating the local people Causing boredom That leads to arguments and fighting Sending shock-waves through the community. Language barriers are no issue We all find common ground If we want to find it. Sharing our love of music and art How much we love the members of our families. The wouldn't be such a culture shock If we take the time and interest In the lives of the land's true owners

The hills I saw were laid with stars A constant reminder that I was never far away Away from the nights that never left I'm sleepless amidst the sound ‘To the voice outside my head, surveyor of the dream, Tell me that I’m good That I’ll always be clean’ I can’t forget those parts of me without tearing apart at the seams

Fighting for war itself No Peace in sight Dog eat dog, king against king Power begets power Eternal Injustice Pain and Suffering Hell of war Flesh and steel will Never heal Purgatory No death release No fucking peace Damnation for the dogs of war.
