Matter of Time Lyrics by DOBBY

Warrangu: River Stories

2024

It's a shame (Hey), this again (Hey)
You can blame all this insufficient rain (Hey)
Same shit (Hey), different day (Hey)
River drained, some of them thinking it's a game (I'm going out of my mind)
It's a shame (Hey), it's insane (Hey)
Saving face, make as if this is okay (Hey)
Quick your pace (Hey), we got no time to waste (Hey)
'Cause any day, it's only a matter of time
It's a shame (It's a shame), this again (This again)
Flick your TV on, check the shit they're saying (Shit they're saying)
"It's a phase" (It's a phase), "Why complain?" (Why complain?)
Water waste, wondering if it's climate change (I'm going out of my mind)
I don't get it (Hey), could you explain? (Could you explain?)
Couple questions for you, let me pick your brain (Pick your brain)
Is it too late? (Is it too late?), is this our fate? (Is this our fate?)
I'm afraid (Hey, hey), it's only a matter of time
I been stressing (I been stressing), so depressing (Ayy)
Barmah choke (Barmah choke), misdirected (Misdirected)
Something rotten (Something rotten) from the cotton (From the cotton)
That's a fact, uh (That's a fact, uh), that's a problem (That's a problem)
Irrigators hide their face from the papers (From the papers)
This our nation Watergate investigation (Water, water)
Rivers taken (What?), look at what we facing (Okay)
All the fish are dead in the Murray-Darling basin, never quit
Never fade till we vote them out today
I'm a fighter in my blood, this is in my DNA
My ancestors speaking through me, I'm connected to this place
Like the river, I got Murrawarri flowing through my veins
Got my head up in the clouds, but my feet up on the ground
I am not the only voice that you're hearing right now
I'm the power of my mob, I'm the sound up in the crowd
Coming to shout, calling 'em out, yelling it loud, saying it proud
Calling it theft, calling it drought, you even know what I'm talking about?
Fella at Cubbie just took all his money, went to the North, bought him a house
Back in the day, sat in the mission and we couldn't mention a word of the mouth
We couldn't talk, wasn't allowed
You better listen, we talking up now
I am the lie, I am the truth, I am the quarter caste in the news
I am the treaty, I am the truce, I am the problem, I am the proof
I am the bridge, I am the line, I'm the divide between the divine
I'm keeping the spirit of rivers alive
You're thinking it's fine, but really, it's only a matter of time
I am the bird, I am the river that flow in the word
I am the air, I am the earth, I'm the goanna that lay in the dirt
I am the song I never heard, I'm here to work, I know what I'm worth
You are the one that delivered the hurt
Bet that you probably giggled and smirked
When given the fine, pay it no mind
Nothing for cotton, it's nickels and dimes
Nobody stopping them doing it twice
I got anxiety weighing my mind
Sick and I'm tired, temperature rise
Living in flood, suffer the fires
Sick and I'm tired, sick and I'm tired, sick and I'm tired, I feel like
It's only a matter of time
Hey
It's only a matter of time
Hey
It's only a matter of time
