sorry day

Sorry ©words and music by Doug payne 2008.
Arrangement by Rick bios36
Video by Alice
This song and video i for all dispossessed people across the world

Our leaders say there is no doubt.

We must apologise.

Others can not spit it out.

They choke on their lies.




Remember what your scripture teacher taught ya.

He didnt speak the truth about the slaughter.

Remeber when they took young Jill away.

She's waiting still to hear those words today.




A friend of mine says, why do you worry?

I feel for her, oh so very sorry.




Our leader says we have no choice.

We must apologise.

the other fella lost his voice.

choking on those lies.

Remember when our neighbour's baby died

I can't believe how long the mother cried.




I do not even know this white girls name

and I hope I never know her kind of pain.

A friend of mine says, why do you worry?

I feel for her, oh so very sorry.©

I don't really see the point in saying sorry to them. I am a racist I admit that. I know there are some good Aboriginals out there but most of them aren't. The stolen generation was an attempt to make them more modern and frankly I think we should take a few of this generation away from them who are unfit. Why? Look in the paper, an aborignal man through his step child at the pavement cause they wouldn't stop crying. Oh but he won't get in trouble! Why? Because he is an aboriginal!

There is a channel on youtube and I am not going to tell you what it is called. But you have just been added to the on going project on the channel. You are in a class of you own in terms of racism.

im not racist to aboriginals or any other culture.. But i dont understand why we have to say sorry for the solen generations, when we didnt steal the generations... our ansestors did.. and that was their mistake not mine.. so why do i say sorry?.. i did nothing wrong.. i know Europeans stole this land and that it was wrong, but i cant do anything about that as a person, it wasnt my generations choice for it to happen, so why should i say sorry for anything.?....

Let me ask you. If you were married and your mother inlaw was killed in a car crash,. would you feel any sorrow at all for your partner? If your partner was abused as a child before you met. Would you feel anything for her? This is a human thing...in fact apes feel it.....People who stand tall in the media and say they dont feel it because they didnt do it are imbeciles.

The lyrics and the musical presentation (very fine, though too much reverb in the mix for me) argue for compassion. The photo montage seems a curious mix of celebration of diverse culture and suggestions of degradation. Overall impact is still five stars. Thanks for posting.

[coomadoug]

Wonderful thoughtful comment from you sir so much appreciated

[CobbleStoneist]

@coomadoug I am sorry about what I said about he Stolen generation, turns out I commented on something that I interprated wrong. And yeah I am racist, if you aren't then wow you must have a really easy going life.

@tools18lol

You said this

"Im not racist to aboriginals or any other culture.."

Now what that means these days is, "Hey everyone, look at me, I am a norrow minded ignorant heartless idiot and a racist for sure"

You say you feel sorry for the murder and the mayhem inflicted on them. But then you find it a problem that we say it. That is the same line. "hey everyone, Im sorry but Im not gonna say it"

Its simple...what you need to do is called growing up.

@tools18lol

You dont get it do you? Where I come from there are white people only. White Aussies. YOu leave 2500 dollars worth of any stuff in your car over night and they take it all. You would be called a @W#$% idiot by all the other white folk who have also had stuff stolen grom their cars by white folk.

[tools18lol]

@coomadoug of course i would feeel sorror.. but i wouldnt ask the whole country to appologise for somthign they didnt do, thats just not right. im not imbecibles.. im an ausie and im pruod of it
