Warakurna Lyrics - Midnight Oil

There is enough for everyone 

In Redfern as there is in Alice 

This is not the Buckingham Palace 

This the crown land 

This is the brown land 

This is not our land 

Some folks live in water tanks 

Some folks live in red brick flats 

There is enough, the law is carved in granite 

It's been shaped by wind and rain 

White law could be wrong 

Black law could be strong 

Warakurna, cars will roll 

Don't drink by the water hole 

Court fines on the shopfront wall 

Beat the grog and save your soul 

Some people laugh, some never learn 

This land must change or land must burn 

Some people sleep, some people yearn 

This land must change or land must burn 

Diesel and dust is what we breathe 

This land don't change and we don't leave 

Some people live, some never die 

This land don't change this land must lie 

Some people leave, always return 

This land must change or land must burn 

Warakurna, camels roam 

Fires are warm and dogs are cold 

Not since Lassiter was here 

Black man's got a lot to fear 

Some people laugh, some never learn 

This land must change or land must burn 

Some people leave, always return 

This land must change or land must burn
