[Ray Martin]
You know the six have no idea what's going to happen
[Contestants]
"God gave black people rhythm and soul when it comes to brains"
"Aboriginal people keep using the past, move on"
"Probably getting four times the amount that what we get"
"Yeah they don't really have jobs"
"They think it's racist but, why shouldn't I say it?"
[Lucky Luke]
Ever think; well It’s wrong
I'm tired of explaining myself, had to put it in a song
And if you didn't get it the first time, I suggest that you repeat it
And if you're closed minded make like Micheal Jackson and beat it
Don't ask me if I'm one quarter Aboriginal
Don't ask me if the governments making money and we living off the residuals
Yes I'm Aboriginal but I pay my own bills too
(You feel me bro?)
I'm an Aussie battler too, don't ask me if I eat bugs and hunt for kangaroos
Don't ask me if I can speak my own language, if you keep on asking I'm gonna laugh at you
( [?] in you)
Don't ask me if I've ever been to prison
Don't ask me for my political views on the judicial system
Half the time you mob don't even listen
I'm wasting my time and I'd rather be fishing
[Chorus]
One day, you will feel my pain
And the tears will fall like the summer rain
One day, we all need changing
Knowledge is the key so we can't stay the same
One day, you will walk in my shoes
And strap on the gloves and fight my battles too
One day, we'll all be one mob
But Mary G will say [?]
One day, before Mundine was ‘the Man’
Before Mabo took a stand for his people, and
Before the Royal Commission into deaths in custody
Before Albert Namatjira paint his first masterpiece
Before Cathy Freeman could ever run
Before my people ever got shot by a gun
We were one with this country, self-sufficient
Underneath the sun, Southern Cross nation
Ever since day one
They say we're 40,000 plus years old
And they say that we're dumb
And we can't be told
See, I'm just trying to paint a picture
Small minds just can't frame it
This herd inside but I just can't tame it
They say that we're bludgers on Centerlink payments
So I drift away and I think about the dreamtime
Before my people got cut down like the tree line
[Chorus]
One day, you will feel my pain
And the tears will fall like the summer rain
One day, we all need changing
Knowledge is the key so we can't stay the same
One day, you will walk in my shoes
And strap on the gloves and fight my battles too
One day, we'll all be one mob
But Mary G will say [?]
One day, imagine if this country wasn't touched
Imagine if the first fleet never came, bruz
Imagine if the world turned to us to take care of the land
Imagine if this country was run by a brother-man
Imagine living in a world without material possessions
Imagine skills giving kids cultural lessons
Imagine if we had no need for prison
And didn't worry about pollution when we went fishing
I feel like there's something really missing
I don't know why I'm asking all of these questions
But the world that we're living has got the Murray second-guessing
I don't know why I expect change when I sign your petition
I guess it's easier to stay the same and hope for a better world vision
And do nothing when our army's ordered for an intervention on an indigenous mission
[Chorus]
One day, you will feel my pain
And the tears will fall like the summer rain
One day, we all need changing
Knowledge is the key so we can't stay the same
One day, you will walk in my shoes
And strap on the gloves and fight my battles too
One day, we'll all be one mob
But Mary G will say [?]
