White man came took everyone

White man came took everything

   Bm           A          G

And that cannot be bro  - ken

We don't need protection

Don't need your land

Keep your promise on where we stand

We will listen we'll understand

With intro riff(over top)

Mining companies, pastoral companies

Uranium companies

Collected companies

Got more right than people

Got more say than people
