"Warakurna" Lyrics

There is enough for everyone
In Redfern, as there is in Alice.
This is not the Buckingham Palace;
This the crown land;
This is the brown land;
This is not our land.

Some folks live in water tanks;
Some folks live in red brick flats.

There is enough, the law is carved in granite;
It's been shaped by wind and rain;
White law could be wrong,
Black law must be strong.

Warakurna, cars will roll;
Don't drink by the water hole.
Court fines on the shopfront wall;
Beat the grog and save your soul.

Some people laugh, some never learn;
This land must change or land must burn.
Some people sleep, some people yearn;
This land must change or land must burn.

Diesel and dust is what we breathe;
This land don't change and we don't leave.
Some people live, some never die;
This land don't change this land must lie.
Some people leave, always return;
This land must change or land must burn.

Warakurna, camels roam;
Fires are warm and dogs are cold.
Not since Lassiter was here;
Black man's got a lot to fear.

Some people laugh, some never learn;
This land must change or land must burn.
Some people leave, always return;
This land must change or land must burn.
