Lyrics Treaty '98 - Live - Yothu Yindi
Well
I
heard
it
on
the
radio
And
I
saw
it
on
the
television
Back
in
1988
All
those
talking
politicians
Words
are
easy,
words
are
cheap
Much
cheaper
than
our
priceless
land
But
promises
can
disappear
Just
like
writing
in
the
sand
Treaty
Yeh
Treaty
Now
Treaty
Yeh
Treaty

This
land
was
never
given
up
This
land
was
never
bought
and
sold
The
planting
of
the
Union
Jack
Never
changed
our
law
at
all
Now
two
rivers
run
their
course
Separated
for
so
long
I'm
dreaming
of
a
brighter
day
When
the
waters
will
be
one
Treaty
Yeh
Treaty

Well
I
heard
it
on
the
Radio
- And
I
saw
it
on
the
Television
But
promises
can
be
broken
Just
like
writing
in
the
sand
Treaty
Yeh
Treaty
