Wanjinas’ smile – another wake-up call to Aborigines
Hey, listen you all… la, lalala, la
who are building the wall…
between the skies…
and people’s minds…
Hey, listen you all… la, lalala, la
distorting the past…
your faux constructs…
won’t work and won’t last…
Hey, listen you all… la, lalala, la
inflating false myth…
you created a monster…
you’re guilty herewith…
Hey, listen you all… la, lalala, la
who cannot recall…
of their plight…
to be just, to be right…
So, listen you all… la, lalala, la
in verses above…
find sense and find love…
quit raising the wall…
Hey, listen you all… la, lalala, la
you meek and naïve…
your tears on your sleeve…
keep building the wall…
Hey, listen you all… la, lalala, la
each legal sleaze…
by lying to please…
you harden the wall…
Hey, listen you all… la, lalala, la
who milk public funds…
you all are hell-bound…
your deeds will be found…
Hey, listen you all… la, lalala, la
compiling old tales…
your meaningless words…
just fill up the wall …
Hey, listen you all… la, lalala, la
political worms…
your feigned concerns…
help building the wall…
Hey, listen you all… la, lalala, la
with guilt-ridden soul…
hyper compensation…
just adds to the wall…
Hey, listen you all… la, lalala, la
you evil and mean…
your crimes as are seen…
just strengthen the wall…
Hey, listen you all… la, lalala, la
you bureaucrat packs…
your brownnosing acts…
just bolster the wall…
Hey, listen you all… la, lalala, la
who drink and who brawl…
while so self-destructive…
you keep up the wall…
Hey, listen you all… la, lalala, la
who bludge and skip school…
each idling fool…
is expanding the wall…
Hey, listen you all… la, lalala, la
who whine and revile…
stop being hostile…
and start reconcile…
Hey, listen you all… la, lalala, la
in verses above…
find sense and find love…
stop building the wall…
But, listen you all… la, lalala, la
creative, with soul…
paint us the truth…
to weaken the wall…
And, listen you all… la, lalala, la
you fearless and proud…
stand up and sing loud…
to crumble the wall…
And, listen you all… la, lalala, la
like Pat, Marcia, Noel…
let’s look at the skies…
let’s pull down the wall…
And, listen you all… la, lalala, la
with heart full of bile…
be kind, reconcile…
make Wanjinas smile…
So, listen you all… la, lalala, la
Five Laws on the Stone…
from heaven they’ve flown…
from Wanjinas’ throne…
So, listen you all… la, lalala, la
to Wisdom in Stone…
do as is shown…
or lest you bemoan…
Hey, listen you all… la, lalala, la
to Whispers in Stone…
about these Five Laws…
that help you atone…
You say you want peace?
You say you want peace?
You say you want peace?
But, before peace
there must be justice
there must be justice
there, before peace
And before justice
there must be truth
there must be truth
truth before justice
And before truth
there must be love
there must be love
love before truth
And before love
there must be trust
there must be trust
trust before all
And only then
and only then
and only then
you will have peace
Now back to you all… la, lalala, la
who listened the Stone…
find peace, reconcile…
make Wanjinas smile…
