Warumpi Band - From the Bush
Aaaaaaaaaaaah!
Look out! I'm here!
I'm from the bush!
Don't be shy 'cause I'm black
I'm from the bush!
Yeah, alright you mob!
★ Chorus ★
Listen to me
I'm from the bush
I'm talkin' to you
From the bush
★ Verse 1 ★
You wanna dig hole in the ground
You wanna drag us into your town
You want profits you want the lot
You want the progress at any cost
You always take and never put back
Can't keep going down the track
We're coming last in the land of plenty
You've gotta give or you'll make it empty
★ Chorus ★
Listen to me
I'm from the bush
I'm talkin' to you
From the bush
Got my life
From the bush
I'm different to you
You've got all you need
We don't ask for much
In the bush
You've got all you need
Can't you understand
We got to have our land
In the bush
Where I live
In the bush
★ Verse 2 ★
You can keep your Opera House and your MCG
You can keep your company home
It don't mean nothing to me
We're not tryin' to take away your suburban backyard
We won't be spearing any sheep down on your farm
My life is different to yours
What are you worried for?
You got the money you got the lot
You got it all but you still don't stop
★ Chorus ★
Just want land
In the bush
To stay alive
In the bush
You've got all you need
We don't ask for much
In the bush
You've got all you need
Can't you understand?
We got to have our land
In the bush
You've got all you need
Can't you listen to us?
We know how to share it up
In the bush
You've got all you need
Can't you understand?
We got to have our land
In the bush
Listen to me
I'm talkin' to you
From the bush!
