Secret War Lyrics by Warumpi Band

Go Bush!

1987

[Verse 1]
This is a story of colonization
It's a story that's been told before
It's the blood of Indigenous races
On the hands of invading force
There's a government and an army
Not far from these north shores
And the tribesmen in the jungle
They fight a secret war
[Verse 2]
You won't read it in the papers
You won't even know the score
You won't see the mutilation
You won't know what the fighting's for
But the men with the bow and arrows
Facing guns of foreign power
They see the soldiers, they see the shooting
They see thе planes and the villages burning
[Chorus]
Sеcret, secret, secret war
Secret war
Refugees on your own back fence now
Why can't you open your door?
What's wrong with our own damn nation
Why can't we open our door?
Secret, secret, secret war
Secret war
This is a secret war
Secret war (x4)
[Verse 3]
Courage is the heart of the OPM
Now, what's in the heart of me and you?
Does it run in the heart of people for freedom
Same as it flows it flowed in the Kalkadoons?
Oh
[Chorus]
This is a story of colonization
It's a story that's been told before
It's the blood of Indigenous races
On the hands of invading force
