Lyrics The Dead Heart - 2007 Remastered - Midnight Oil

We don't serve your country
Don't serve your king
Know your custom, don't speak your tongue
White man came, took everyone

We don't serve your country
Don't serve your king
White man listen to the songs we sing
White man came, took everything

We carry in our hearts the true country
And that cannot be stolen
We follow in the steps of our ancestry
And that cannot be broken

We don't serve your country
Don't serve your king
Know your custom, don't speak your tongue
White man came, took everyone

We don't need protection
Don't need your hand
Keep your promise on where we stand
We will listen, we'll understand
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
We carry in our hearts the true country
And that cannot be stolen
We follow in the steps of our ancestry
And that cannot be broken
We carry in our hearts the true country
And that cannot be stolen
We follow in the steps of our ancestry
And that cannot be broken
Broken
Mining companies, pastoral companies
Uranium companies acompanies
Collected companies
Got more right than people
Got more say than people here
More say than people here, more say than people
More say than people

Forty thousand years can make a difference to the state of things

The dead hearts, the dead hearts
The dead hearts live here
The dead hearts, the dead hearts
The dead hearts lives here
