The Dead Heart
Midnight Oil


We don't serve your country
Don't serve your king
Know your custom don't speak your tongue
White man came took everyone
-
We don't server your country
Don't serve your king
White man listen to the songs we sing
White man came took everything
-
We carry in our hearts the true country
And that cannot be stolen
We follow in the steps of our ancestry
And that cannot be broken
-
We don't serve your country
Don't serve your king
Know your custom don't speak your tongue
White man came took everyone
-
We don't need protection
Don't need your land
Keep your promise on where we stand
We will listen we'll understand
-
We carry in our hearts the true country
And that cannot be stolen
We follow in the steps of our ancestry
And that cannot be broken
-
We carry in our hearts the true country
And that cannot be stolen
We follow in the steps of our ancestry
And that cannot be broken
-
Mining companies, pastoral companies
Uranium companies
Collected companies
Got more right than people
Got more say than people
-
Forty thousand years can make a difference to the state of things
-
The dead earth lives her ...
