46,000 Years

 

Verse 1

First Nations People own the land

You filthy mining scum

You may has well have shot them

With your own explosive gun

 

Verse 2

And what did the government do

As you prepared to press the button

They sat their and counted money

You filthy government scum

 

Verse 3

46,000 years of history

Destroyed in the blink of an eye

A continual cultural line

Blown to the sky

 

Verse 4

And what do we get in exchange

Another pile of red dirt

That they dont even pay tax on

Nothing in exchange for the hurt

 

Bridge

Control Iron Ore

Dont drill in the bight

Ban coal mining

Fracking we must fight

 

Verse 5

Yes the community gets royalties

A mere pittance for mining scum

A cultural destruction pay off

I hate what we have become

 

Verse 6

And these fat cats in Canberra

Getting paid off to turn an eye

They dont care about first nations

Only their filthy wealth to retire

 

Verse 7

Its time to rise up

Take this scum to the world courts

Sites need to be protected

No more community silence bought
