Truganini - Midnight Oil

There's a road train going nowhere

Roads are cut lines are down

Well be staying at the roma bar

Till that monsoon passes on

The backbone of this country's broken

The land is cracked and the land is sore

Farmers are hanging on by their fingertips

We cursed and stumbled across that shore

What for

I hear much support for the monarchy

I hear the union jacks to remain

I see namatjira in custody

I see truganinis in chains

And the world it won't stand still

And the world it won't stand still

Blue collar work it don't get you nowhere

You just go round and round in debt

Somebody's got you on that treadmill mate

And I hope you're not beaten yet not yet

I hear much support for the monarchy

I hear the union jacks to remain

I see Namatjira in custody

I see Truganini's in chains

I hear much support for the monarchy

I see the union jacks in flames let it burn

I see namatjira with dignity

I see truganinis in chains
