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 serve 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 need protection
don't need your land
keep your promise on where we stand
we will listen we'll understand
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 heart lives here

not to make light of the bad treatment that some aboriginal peoples experienced, for which i am truly sorry, but we REALLY need to move on...im tired of being held ransom for things my ancestors may or may not have done...im am MORE than willing for aboriginal people to be better represented in the FC, but im not going to continue to be made to feel guilty for things I didn't do, and things NONE of us can change anymore. it would be great if we could go back 400 years and decide 'you know what lets just stay in Britain and not bother the nice people across the sea,' but we cant so we need to move on.
