“We Were Here You Know!”
Chorus:
We were here you know?
Long, long, long, long time ago.
In this bright green country
For us to all roam freely
Why would you change it?
I have to ask this nation.
Got to realise it.
Then Indigenize It!
This our Island home
Free n easy we roam.
Disrupted 100,000 years of peace
For convicts and their police.
You’ve no jurisdiction,
With a history like science fiction.
Cause we have listened, we have learned,
We have laughed, cried and yearned…
So this Westminster system with no jurisdiction
Is about to be overturned.
Confusioned, disillusion,
where’s this rebelution?
Keep a check on how we feel,
Are we all keeping it real?
Keep checkin our relations
Cause from nation to nation
We are all racin to nowhere land and
We need to understand…
It’s not meant to be like this
Feelin helpless
Not meant to feel like this
Clenchin our fists.
And if we kneel and pray each day,
Is it always going to feel this way?
GOORI’S!!!!!!!!!!
Rise up, Rise up, Rise up.
Sovereign people still today
For a new day, for our old ways.
Time to thrive, we have survived.
Even modern day genocide.
Colonisation, segregation, assimilation and now reconciliation…
Got all our ears achin!
So let’s go walkabout n coorooboree now..
Dreamin’s alla time – anytime,
Chorus:
We were here you know?
Long, long, long, long time ago.
In this bright green country
For us to all roam freely
Why would you change It?
I have to ask this nation.
Got to realise it.
Then Indigenize It!
We were here you know?
Long, long, long, long time ago.
In this bright green country
For us to all roam freely
Why would you change It?
I have to ask this nation.
Got to realise it.
Then Indigenize It!
It’s not meant to be like this
Lacking a mothers kiss
Not meant to feel like this
Lil joyfulness
If we kneel n pray, for it to go away
Is it always goin to feel this way?
This land where you stand needs man to understand
This is sacred land,
Everywhere you walk, sit or stand,
Our people been there.
Home 2 da rainbow serpent and the red sand
Law, histories, song and dance.
It’s coming back from the surface
To put an end to this circus.
We know a better way
From living in a better day.
Now Sssshhh, while we watch our children play.
There ain’t no mystery
We governed, we tilled and documented history.
In 2011 you can’t get away with Invasion
Put an end to this illegal occupation, of a nation,
Stop rations, listen, be patient.
Kicking off the heads of our next generation,
Now still victims of corporate racists.
We the key ingredient!
All this talk, anybody meanin it?
Experience and understanding is seldom
Yet knowledge plus consequences, equals, wisdom.
Don’t it?
Not meant to be like this,
Life is politics
Not meant to feel like this
Bunch of lunatics at it,
If we try a different way
Is it always goin to feel this way?
Chorus:
We were here you know?
Long, long, long, long time ago.
In this bright green country
For us to all roam freely
Why would you change It?
I have to ask this nation.
Got to realise it.
Then Indigenize It!
No, No, No,
It’s not to be this way
Our spirit still strong today
It’s not meant to feel this way
Sing, dance, shout now n play
The ole way back for a new day.
Together: Dedicated to our great, great, great, great, greats,
we shall b free In our home country.
To all our childrens, childrens, childrens, children,
Keep on smiling and thrivin on your Aboriginal Island.
Chorus:
We were here you know?
Long, long, long, long time ago.
In this bright green country
For us to all roam freely
Why would you change It?
I have to ask this nation.
Got to realise it.
Then Indigenize It!
We were here you know?
Long, long, long, long time ago.
In this bright green country
For us to all roam freely
Why would you change It?
I have to ask this nation.
Got to realise it.
Then Indigenize It!
