Lyrics

Sitting in a classroom
Learning bout the l-o-r-e
From a white man and a TV screen
And I know its better
That we're sharing
Not pretending
Nothing happened
I s'pose it's in the syllabus
But who here was welcomed
Who would welcome
A greedy white horseman
Taking all our income
To push us through with essays
I might make a new friend
That would make it worth it
I grew up, loving the land and the people on it
And I was taught to kill those things
I was born loving my mother fully
And I'll spend a life learning to love again
Who taught her how to grow up
Or rather how to harden
To the mining of her soul
Gave her bubba and a weapon
A reason and lesson
A ritual made for wombs and babes
Dark shadow in the corner
Hiding from the guilt and despair
What happens if we handed it all over
Dark shadow hurt the child
The child learnt to hate it
Not to hold the hand of hate in love's full glare
I grew up, loving the land and the people on it
And I was taught to kill those things
I was born loving my mother fully
I'll spend a life learning to love again
Blaming the dark spirit on a powerful sister
Blaming the dark spirit on a powerful brother
Blaming the dark spirit on a powerful sister
Blaming the dark spirit on a powerful 'nother
I grew up, loving the land and the people on it
And I was taught to kill those things
I was born loving my mother fully
I'll spend a life learning to love again
I'll spend a life learning to love again
I'll spend a life learning to love again
