lyrics

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
