Midnight Oil Truganini

Music video by Midnight Oil performing Truganini. (C) 2013 Sony Music Entertainment Australia Pty Ltd. There s a road train going nowhere Roads are cut, lines are down We ll be staying at the Roma Bar Till that monsoon passes on The backbone of this country s broken The land is cracked and the land is sore Farmers are hanging on by their fingertips We cursed and stumbled across that shore I hear much support for the monarchy I hear the Union Jack s to remain I see Namatjira in custody I see Truganini s in chains And the world it won t stand still Blue collar work it don t get you nowhere You just go round and round in debt Somebody s got you on that treadmill, mate And I hope you re not beaten yet I hear much support for the monarchy I hear the Union Jack s to remain I see Namatjira in custody I see Truganini s in chains I hear much support for the monarchy I see the Union Jack in flames, let it burn I see Namatjira with dignity I see Truganini s in chains
