| I don’t trust a motherfucker who makes generalisations
|
| Based on what a person looks like or where they come from
|
| It ain’t nothin' new or nothin' to run from
|
| It’s just another bigot with his head screwed on wrong
|
| I’d wave a wand or write a better song
|
| If I could make ‘em think or maybe make ‘em turn their brains on
|
| We ain’t all blonde, all from Summer Bay
|
| And some fellas really give the flag a bad name
|
| And it’s a damn shame when it’s in a campaign
|
| They use a scapegoat to fire up the race-train
|
| And hard-hearts stay hard ‘cause they’re so afraid
|
| Dog-whistle politics, manipulating bad brains

|
| Is it human nature, strange behaviour?
|
| Is it hard wired into the way we’re all made up?
|
| Is it made up or made of bad luck?
|
| Is it what raises a country’s flag up?
|
| Is it less offensive if your puttin' your hand up
|
| With a disclaimer? |
| Like «They're Al-Qaeda
|
| And they don’t care for the Lord, our saviour
|
| And we’re all done for, ‘cause we’re all at war
|
| If we don’t shut doors, protectin' our own shore
|
| They gon' come here and probably take yours
|
| And blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah»

| I am half Caucasian, still very Asian
|
| A mad variation on what you’d call Australian
|
| When I’m on the pavement, treated like an alien
|
| Cop a little racism, this is what I say
|
| «Consider me the face of the Asian horde
|
| The Yellow Peril menace, threat from the north
|
| My people immigrated over here on boats
|
| Yeah, we came to steal your jobs and your women-folk, jokes!»

| Oh, well I talkin' with my head
|
| Either ignorant head’s are filled with lead
|
| So if you feel a thing the world is and you must learn
|
| It’s embedded in the system,
|
| You keep them away with
|
| freedoms
|
| So you comin' and pretendin' that you and that you care
|
| say you never led them here
|
| So be
|
| And when we’re tellin' you, means pissed off
|
| You know the future is right there and
|
| Take you higher like, never come down
