Lyrics
Koiki Mabo
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I think to recognize that the problem start with us
The non-aboriginal Australians
It begins I think, with the an act of recognition
Recognition that was wait until this position
We took the tradition of lands and smash the tradition wild life
They will look for any excuse to take home from you
(Take home from you, take home from you)
They will remove your house and exploit the land from you
(Everything, everything)
Your kids under they law, they just follow then
(They dress like then, they talk like then)
This land never belong to us, but we will rent to then
You gain money, but I control the bank
Because whoever feed you, controls ya
If you give then power they controls ya
Because whoever feed you, controls ya
If you give then power they controls ya
Who you talkin to, talkin to
Ngunguno
What you gonna do ngunguno
Your clothes don’t tell me nothing
Clothes chaser
We need to own the bank, so go get it
Crisis of identity, your body is they entity
Wake up moço come to me, Let’s change this reality, reality
They will come straight to you, because they want know
What you're planning
Then they invite you to they platform
To see what you planning
Let’s play the game too, na na na
Let's understand this game, na na na
Let’s play the game too, na na na
Let's understand this game, na na na
This is for tha king capitan Koiki Mabo
I know he still with us tonight
This is for tha king capitan Koiki Mabo
I know he still with us tonight
They will look for any excuse to take home from you
(Take home from you, take home from you)
They will remove your house and exploit the land from you
(Everything, everything)
Your kids under they law, they just follow then
(They dress like then, they talk like then)
This land never belong to us, but we will rent to then
You gain money, but I control the bank
Because whoever feed you, controls ya
If you give then power they controls ya
Because whoever feed you, controls ya
If you give then power they controls ya
We need to know, how money work eh
How economy work eh
We need to know, how money work eh
How economy work eh
My dad trade his time for money
Work hard for money
Today he still slave of money haam
I don’t want to look rich, rich
I want to be wealth, wealth
I need find another way, way
I need to get wealth, wealth
They will look for any excuse to take home from you
(Take home from you, take home from you)
They will remove your house and exploit the land from you
(Everything, everything)
Your kids under they law, they just follow then
(They dress like then, they talk like then)
This land never belong to us, but we will rent to then
You gain money, but I control the bank
Because whoever feed you, controls ya
If you give then power they controls ya
Because whoever feed you, controls ya
If you give then power they controls ya
We brough the diseases and the alcohol
We committed the murders, we took the children from their mothers
We practice discriminations, and exclusion
And was our ignorance, and our prejudice
And our fail to Imaginate this thinks could be done to us
