Even more #alternateFridayMusic 🎉
and the cue this week is: #protest
More indigenous Australians and Paul Kelly collaborating for a banger:
A.B. Original - Dumb Things
The original version was about all the dumb things we do in life and became a defacto national anthem in Australia. Some 25 years later A.B. Original collaborate with Paul Kelly to epically flip this into a classic protest song:
🎶 We got
We got islands for the ones who seekin' asylum
We got silence for the ones who died in confinement
If you're complacent to the words of a racist
Don't you dare complain when that's what leading your nation
Send in the clowns, they're blackfacing
They're locking up couples, they're locking up brothers
But they ain't leavin' the station
The date's changin'
...
What's a Royal Commission
To the ones who live on a mission?
To the ones who's killed by the system?
By the ones that's meant to assist 'em?
At the hands of policemen, who's gonna police them?
They killin' us Kooris, they got it on footage
They need to release them 🎶
