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 serve your country

Don't serve your king

Know your custom don't speak your tongue

White man came took everyone

We don't need protection

Don't need your hand

Keep your promise on where we stand

We will listen we'll understand

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 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

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
