Astraylia Lyrics by Amity

So Below

0

How can we advance Australia/
When it’s not fair unless your skin is?
The thing is you need more than a stamp on paper/
To pass ports but we’re more scared about sharing land with Asia/
We should say welcome, not stop the boats/
Recycling empty statements like ‘Jobs and Growth’/
Repeating old statistics of what you know/
In interviews makes me think you’ve lost a vote/
Spending money you think is never-ending/
On funding visions for the future but didn’t do it by 2020/
It doesn’t matter who we choose in the next elеction/
Either way, we’re all doomеd with the best of efforts/
Surprised by all the lies and broken promises/
And avoiding them instead of climbing over obstacles/
Honesty isn’t as common as it used to be/
But watch as I refuse to keep the lines I wrote anonymous

In joyful strains then let us sing/ (okay)
In joyful strains then let us sing/ (obey)
In joyful strains then let us sing/ (no way)
Enjoy, I think we’ve gone astray

The government is spoon-feeding us shit as supplements/
For the truth and we shovel it until we’ve had enough of it/
But it’s something that we’re still encouraging/
And if we ever let it slip then they come and quickly cover it/
How the hell are we supposed to get it right/
When equal freedom hinges on a fucking postal plebiscite?
Nothing but a bunch of cut-throats with severed ties/
Promoted with shit-eating grins imposed on every sign/
So how can we take pride in a nation/
That prides itself on disguised indignation?
Subtle segregation within the station/
The discreet discrimination is interracial/
“Love it or leave it”, I don’t fucking believe it/
Stand in the sun with red sand under your feet/
And say you were here first and there’s nothing to see/
With the blood of men and women of colour running beneath

In joyful strains then let us sing/ (okay)
In joyful strains then let us sing/ (obey)
In joyful strains then let us sing/ (no way)
Enjoy, I think we’ve gone astray


Back at school they taught us about Captain Cook/
And a country that was settled by captured crooks/
Grab a book and read about how they stabbed and took/
If you don’t see what I mean, please have a look/
We’ve got the Jack on our flag and the Queen on our coins/
Branded with the acts of attack to seek and destroy/
Invade and overtake just to keep and exploit/
With a date to celebrate and let the people rejoice/
We act like there was never a precedent/
Like when they elected an African American president/
And I don’t know if we’ll ever get to the end of it/
But I try to remember like November 11/
And fuck a racist or anyone saying they don’t like it/
They hate the rest but call themselves One Nation/
It’s disgusting, it’s un-Australian/
We need to train our minds to be kind but some are derailing it

In joyful strains then let us sing/ (okay)
In joyful strains then let us sing/ (obey)
In joyful strains then let us sing/ (no way)
Enjoy, I think we’ve gone astray
