They're tearing up our land With hard relentless hands Pushing us into the wilderness Which isn't theirs to abuse We're victims of our tolerance We're casualties of circumstance Losing the freedom that was our right Before the wild colonial boys came and conquered, prisoners turned jailers They tore up our country
You walk into my dreamtime And steal my thoughts away If only you could understand This is no kind of master plan That makes me walk away.
They're poisoning our souls With European goals We're slaves to their progress We've lost the right to choose We've stood the test of faith But change is coming far too late Too late for the culture that was our own Before the wild colonial boys came and Conquered, prisoners turned jailers They tore up our country
You walk into my dreamtime And steal my thoughts away If only you could understand This is no kind of master plan That makes me walk away.
