Lyrics
[Spoken Word: Archie Roach] Hey, hey, everybody I'm, I'm Archie, Archie Roach I was actually born a Mooroopna And my people are Gunditjmara people from south-west Victoria Yeah, my mum's, ah, from, ah, Framlingham—Aboriginal mission down in south-west Victoria Ah, my dad's a Bundjalung man from northern New South Wales And that's me, Archie [Spoken Word: Briggs] Excellent And, um, when you hear a record like the record we put together [Spoken Word: Archie Roach] Nah, it, ah, give you goosebumps, ah It's strong, like—you know? It, ah, gets your blood up Ah, it's real, it's, it's, it's, it's It's today, it's, ah—you know, we, we, we marched down the street Back in the '70s, '80s, '70s We marched for land right—we marched for land rights, you know? We walked down the street to Melbourne We brought that city to a stand-still We had two thousand, and we wouldn't move until we were ready Because there's still rights, and housing How many met, including land and so many other things And listening to your album It just reminds me so much of that old days And it brings back that time when we did pump our fists in the air Because you had to be, you had to be in their face You had to be in their face
