[wiradjuririley]

deadly song aye

any1 have the lyrics?

[XLongbeachX]

@wiradjuririley On t.v i saw a story of the brisbane blacks, a story that is touching a story that is rite. In this story a group of people sittin in a park, drinkin in harmony drinkin on till dark.

You wonder why they like that those so called drunken blacks they know that they done no harm but the pressure from society is strong.

Everyday each passing day our culture slowly dies, like a piece of paper thrown onto a fire. Now its time for to sleep and its not in a bed...continuing

[XLongbeachX]

@wiradjuririley but in some warm surrounding like in a park or in a shed warned only by the grog has been drunk through the day. warned only by the grog the killer of his mates, The very first Australians around. The very first people to be found and why we fight is to recognised only to be folled by your blind eyes.

[johnnyterumo]

No blackman needs to grovel at anyone's feet anymore. I remember sharing a drink with some of the band at Musgrave park, police came along and hassled all the blackfellas and when I objected (I'm a whitefella) I was punched and arrested. Arseholes. I hope it's better for you all nowadays.

[furb393]

@johnnyterumo - Public drinking is banned, anyone gets arrested/hassled by cops if they're seen drinking in public - I've seen white guys told by cops to pour out their drinks - Indigenous Australian, white Australian, immigrant, whatever, the laws apply to us all

[XLongbeachX]

@johnnyterumo No u miss understood wat they actually whe he says and i quote "when the black problem down at your feet" he means the white fella cant understand or cant get the message thru to them. and he also sayin it how it is. Deadly song writer Dennis Conlon.

[rattlebonesnoface]

40,000 years of original people, the first people. in the whites take on the term they invented, 'aboriginal' is to mean not original just like 'abnormal' is not normal. we have awesome customary and traditional names we can use now as well as first people, people, citizens, residents, native people, indigenous people, etc etc. we must be single out, referenced, and label in the most respectable terms 24/7 in order to get seats at the negotiating tables

[Kinnear59]

One the top ten Aboriginal songs ever written, recorded and performed. Mop and the Dropouts are legends.

[rattlebonesnoface]

good song. so nice when we call ourselves people instead of Slang Terms drunk lazy dumb to the LightSkinnedInvaders

[rockabye63]

[angelgal06]

[latonyahinkerman]

Our families are well respected We are easily accepted We have a drink or two Even make our own home brew We like to hunt on land Bare feet on the hot sand We hunt in the sea It makes us feel wild and free We come near and far All bare feet without a car We are proud We sing out loud We walk hand in hand We are apart of the great Australian Land
