1788 down Sydney cove
The first boat people land
Sorry boys our gains you loss
1788 down Sydney cove
The first boat people land
Sorry boys our gains you loss
We're gonna steal your land
And if you break our new British law
Be sure your gonna hang or work your lives like our convicts
With a chain on your neck and hand
Chorus:
And they told us
Woah black man thou shalt not steal
Woah black man not shalt not steal
With your science and your technology
You going make a nuclear bomb
A population has increased they are going make
A three million mega ton
And if you think that's progress
I suggest your reason is unsound
You should have found out long ago
You better keep it in the ground
Chorus:
And they
Woah blak man thou shalt not steal
And black man thou shalt not steal
We're gonna civilize your black barbaric lives
And we'll teach you how to kneel
See upcoming pop shows
Get tickets for your favorite artists
Job and me and Jesus Sittin underneath that Indooroopilly bridge
Watchin "that blazin" sun go down
Behind a tall tree'd mountain ridge
The land's of heritage and spirits here
The rightful culture's black
And we're Sitting here just wondering
When we gonna get our land back
Chorus:
And they
Woah black man thou shalt not steal
Woah black man thou shalt not steal
We're gonna civilize your black barbaric lives
And we'll teach you how to kneel
But your history couldn't hide the genocide
The hypocrisy that was real
For your Jesus said you're supposed to give
The oppressed a better deal
When you talk of conservation
Keep the forest pristine green
But in 200 years your materialism
Has stripped the forest clean
And a racist contradiction
That's understood by none
Left hand hold the bible
And the right hand hold's the gun
Chorus:
And they
Woah black man thou shalt not steal
Woah black man thou shalt not steal
We're gonna civilize your black barbaric lives
And we'll teach you how to kneel
But your history couldn't hide the genocide
The hypocrisy that was real
For your Jusus said you're supposed to give
The oppressed a better deal
We say to you
Yes our land thou shalt not steal
Woah our land you better heal
Yes our land thou shalt not steal
Woah yes our land you better heal
Woah our land thou shalt not steal
