Another song written by me,

    Reconcillation's a long way from a fact
    when everyone scared of the skin coloured black
    infact and I can't deny even I discriminate,
    but it's a feeling of fear; not a feeling of hate.

    Wait, don't judge me for these views
    it's not new and you can't say that its not true-
    when your on your way home, walking alone
    see a pack of Indigenous- think 'oh fuck I'm so alone'

    it's a natural fear and we're taught from birth
    it's paranoia; it's the white man's curse.
    It's our own fault though we gave 'em reason to hate
    committed genocide; just to take their place

    "terra nullius", what a convenient lie
    they taught it in our school and yet we wonder why
    when the Indigenous girls broke down and cried,
    we weren't taught the price in Indigenous lives.

    *hook*

    we weren't taught the price in Indigenous lives
    weren't taught the price in Indigenous lives
    terra nullius
    what a convenient lie.

    we weren't taught the price in Indigenous live
    reconcilliation
    what a convenient lie
    weren't taught the price in Indegenous lives

    *end hook*

    Even their language couldn't survive the genocide
    over 600 hundred dialects how many still alive?
    less than two hundred it was at the last count
    but no doubt the number is many less now

    In two thousand and eight k-rudd apologized
    but the shit I heard at work made it sound like lies
    "now they're going to want so much more",
    and "what the fuck are we sorry for",

    "we didn't do anything", "it's not our fault"-
    just listen to yourselves your still the ones at fault,
    alright, I'm white and I know I live a privileged life
    but I can see the difference between theirs and mine.

    terra nullius; no mans land,
    the real truth is it was Indigenous lands.
    The white man stole it and we won't give it back
    no wonder we so scared of the skin coloured black.
