Head Right (Monkey Marc Remix)

I don’t trust a motherfucker who makes generalisations

Based on what a person looks like or where they come from

It ain’t nothin’ new or nothin’ to run from

It’s just another bigot with his head screwed on wrong

I’d wave a wand or write a better song

If I could make ‘em think or maybe make ‘em turn their brains on

We ain’t all blonde, all from Summer Bay

And some fellas really give the flag a bad name

And it’s a damn shame when it’s in a campaign

They use a scapegoat to fire up the race-train

And hard-hearts stay hard ‘cause they’re so afraid

Dog-whistle politics, manipulating bad brains

Hey brother, getcha head right

Hey brother, getcha, getcha head right

Hey brother, getcha head right

Hey brother, getcha head straight

(Say, say, listen to me now)

(Say, say, listen to me now)

Is it human nature, strange behaviour?

Is it hard wired into the way we’re all made up?

Is it made up or made of bad luck?

Is it what raises a country’s flag up?

Is it less offensive if your puttin’ your hand up

With a disclaimer? Like “They’re Al-Qaeda

And they don’t care for the Lord, our saviour

And we’re all done for, ‘cause we’re all at war

If we don’t shut doors, protectin’ our own shore

They gon’ come here and probably take yours

And blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah”

That ain’t cool, that’s just racist, dude

Hey brother, getcha head right

Hey brother, getcha, getcha head right

Hey brother, getcha head right

Hey brother, getcha head straight

I am half Caucasian, still very Asian

A mad variation on what you’d call Australian

When I’m on the pavement, treated like an alien

Cop a little racism, this is what I say

Consider me the face of the Asian horde

The Yellow Peril menace, threat from the north

My people immigrated over here on boats

Yeah, we came to steal your jobs and your women-folk

Jokes!

Hey brother, getcha head right

Hey brother, getcha, getcha head right

Hey brother, getcha head right

Hey brother, getcha head straight

(Say, say, listen to me now)

(Say, say, listen to me now)

Well I’m sick and tired of racism, it’s fucking with my head

See the ignorant defend it but their heads are filled with lead

So if you feel to change the world there’s something you must learn

It’s embedded in this system so this system's got to burn

You keep them away with the hatred you be spinning

Winning only what you steal like their innocence and freedoms

Still you’re coming in pretending that you're caring but you tell a tale

Hatred is a deadly sin but still you never let them in

So people when I say Fiyah, make a run out

And when I’m telling you Higha! Raise your fists up

You know the future is brighter when we run town

We take you higher like Kyah, never come down

Hey brother, getcha head right

Hey brother, getcha, getcha head right

Hey brother, getcha head right

Hey brother, getcha head straight

Hey brother, getcha head right

Hey brother, getcha, getcha head right

Hey brother, getcha head right

Hey brother, getcha head straight

(Say, say, listen to me now)

(Say, say, listen to me now)

Asiatic fever

Asiatic fever

Got the fever
