Newsflash – lyrics

Chorus
News flash! 
We’re never going back 
‘cause I’m trying to tell you Fellas 
Australia ain’t no Terra Nullius.

Verse 1
Don’t judge me from the colour of my skin.
If you try to get to know me 
you’ll see the beauty within. 
So don’t get impatient 
‘cause I’m only trying to learn 
the things I’ve never seen and
the things I’ve never heard.

Verse 2
Black is for the People. 
Yellow is for the Sun.
Red is for the Land 
we share and walk upon. 
So don’t you walk where 
angels fear to tread.
Learn something from the Elders 
and the people instead.

Verse 3
So much we all need to do 
in so little time. 
So many issues. 
So many Tribes. 
So let’s understand each other 
and make it work this time.

Verse 4
It’s an ancient Culture
told through the Dreaming
where the Land is our Mother 
through the spirits and the feeling.
Unique as our faces
from all over the country
and different places.
