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 landSome folks live in water tanks
Some folks live in red brick flatsThere 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 strongWarakurna, cars will roll
Don't drink by the water hole
Court fines on the shopfront wall
Beat the grog and save your soulSome 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 burnDiesel 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 burnWarakurna, camels roam
Fires are warm and dogs are cold
Not since Lassiter was here
Black man's got a lot to fearSome 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
