You make sure your blokes don't go walkabout on Saturday. I want everyone there at least an hour before curfew. It ain't like that no more. What? I said. It's not like that anymore. What's not? I can't see what's not incarceration And yet not one cop yet to be locked up Palm island lock-up, look up the disguise Poorly change courts look the lords talking Saying nothing that we ain't heard before In my hood the police step out the car door Is it to hard? or is that what you're there for Racial profile, uh and therefore assumptions get made man it must have been a good dose of hate Made the country this way Though they took the children away And there's still two systems of justice to this day So you see that's a long way from sovereignty White fellers still get away with robbery Seem like we need a big corobery Where 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 can see how it really is No time to entertain thoughts We're one blood yes of course We're off course as it is The sun beats down and burns the white skin Forefathers armed with sticks of lightning Disease and booze were de-humanising Cold iron of an empire rising As pale as skin, as pale as death Got swept like flood water down for blood We kidnapped children That's what our enlightened pilgrims did to kill them These genocide gods work We don't know a thing about shame Just dial one to frame Pass the blame like a sherron Dispute the racism inherent in the endless cycle How can we celebrate Cooks arrival Now whole people celebrate mere survival What if your brother was doing Do you like Kev Carmaday and he planned his own eulogy We're disgraceful it's so far along With half hearted attempts to address the wrong This is your land I'm on We owe much more than money But that's where we'll be starting from You can turn away Or you can try to end the pain If you can see how it really is No time to entertain thoughts We're one blood yes of course We're off course as it is I said. It's not like that anymore. What's not? You's white fellers telling us black fellers what to do. So much work to do So much pain and 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 to truth It's way overdue You can try to turn away You can try to end the pain If you can see how it really is No time to entertain thoughts We're one blood yes of course We're off course as it is I'm so sorry We're so sorry It's time to face to truth
