This Is Australia by Connor Jones Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This is Australia
Where every day people get locked up for carrying paraphernalia
But paedophiles walking round free every day
We ain't free, we enslaved
Life is a prison but we don't see any chains
Oppression is a racy subject (What?)
Australia's a racist fuckfest (What?)
I don't wanna make my love less
But fuck yeah, yeah I really hate the loveless
These days love is hidden like the Loch Ness
Only see it with a key to a locked chest
If not, we are seeing the onset
Of everything from needles to bomb threats
They say that we're safe in Australia
But man, I don't agree
If anything, we are just
Waiting to implode and go with the stream
Keep locking up weed-smokers
Keep locking up parents for giving their epileptic children free CBD potions
We are behind and I've been hoping
[Verse 2]
This is Australia
Where even the word known as 'sorry' carry more weight than an owing apology
Keep me insane when I'm-
Asking "is money more precious than sixty-thousand-years of culture and heritage"
Brother man, don't even think to consult me on anything
Spark up discussion with any indigenous brother or sister
They will tell you straight 'for years we have been fucking 'em senseless'
It's true, you and I weren't there, but we benefit from systems
In place since we landed here and that's the real reason that we are definitely listless
Get your motherfucking hand up in the air, tell 'em we are men up on a mission
They don't wanna listen, they don't wanna hear this
Everybody ready, we are devils with a mistress
And that mistress is fear, committing adultery on all of our souls
Fear breed hate, but man, the hate won't hold
This is Australia
Where every day people get locked up for carrying paraphernalia
But paedophiles walking round free every day
We ain't free, we enslaved
Life is a prison but we don't see any chains
Oppression is a racy subject (What?)
Australia's a racist fuckfest (What?)
I don't wanna make my love less
But fuck yeah, yeah I really hate the loveless
These days love is hidden like the Loch Ness
Only see it with a key to a locked chest
If not, we are seeing the onset
Of everything from needles to bomb threats
They say that we're safe in Australia
But man, I don't agree
If anything, we are just
Waiting to implode and go with the stream
Keep locking up weed-smokers
Keep locking up parents for giving their epileptic children free CBD potions
We are behind and I've been hoping
