You took away our reason for living
Now the only thing that your giving is lies, only lies
And you can't see life as we did through your eyes, no no
We don't come up to your expectations
So what we get is discrimination and you, yes you criticise
And our way life it seems you all despise
Yeah yeah yeah, you might think that we already have too much
And you say the government has given us enough
But here's one thing you'll never understand
Keep your handouts, give us back our land
Two hundred years is a long long time
Two hunderd years we've been towing the line but no more, we say no more
No we got nothing to be happy for, no no
What we need is our independence
Something to keep for our decendants before, before its too late
No there nothing here for us in '88
No no no, you might think that we already have too much
And you say the government has given us enough
But here's one thing you'll never understand
Just keep your handouts, give us back our land
We've got break these chains of oppression
We've got to fight for our rightful possessions or die, yeah lay down and die
Cause it's been too long that you've ignored our cries, yeah yeah
But if it's not the Australian Nation
For us to be no celebration then you, you're the ones to blame, yeah yeah
Oh you should hang your heads in shame
Shame shame shame, You might think that we already have too much
And you say the government has given us enough
But here's one thing you'll never understand
Just keep your handouts, give us back our land
Two hundred years is a long long time
Two hunderd years we've been towing the line but no more, we say no more
No we got nothing to be happy for, no no
What we need is our independence
Something to keep for our decendants before, before its too late
No there nothing here for us in '88
No no no, you might think that we already have too much
And you say the government has given us enough
But here's one thing you'll never understand
Just keep your handouts, give us back our land
