Lyrics

It's a shame (Hey), this again (Hey) You can blame all this insufficient rain (Hey) Same shit (Hey), different day (Hey) River drained, some of them thinking it's a game (I'm going out of my mind) It's a shame (Hey), it's insane (Hey) Saving face, make as if this is okay (Hey) Quick your pace (Hey), we got no time to waste (Hey) 'Cause any day, it's only a matter of time It's a shame (It's a shame), this again (This again) Flick your TV on, check the shit they're saying (Shit they're saying) "It's a phase" (It's a phase), "Why complain?" (Why complain?) Water waste, wondering if it's climate change (I'm going out of my mind) I don't get it (Hey), could you explain? (Could you explain?) Couple questions for you, let me pick your brain (Pick your brain) Is it too late? (Is it too late?), is this our fate? (Is this our fate?) I'm afraid (Hey, hey), it's only a matter of time I been stressing (I been stressing), so depressing (Ayy) Barmah choke (Barmah choke), misdirected (Misdirected) Something rotten (Something rotten) from the cotton (From the cotton) That's a fact, uh (That's a fact, uh), that's a problem (That's a problem) Irrigators hide their face from the papers (From the papers) This our nation Watergate investigation (Water, water) Rivers taken (What?), look at what we facing (Okay) All the fish are dead in the Murray-Darling basin, never quit Never fade till we vote them out today I'm a fighter in my blood, this is in my DNA My ancestors speaking through me, I'm connected to this place Like the river, I got Murrawarri flowing through my veins Got my head up in the clouds, but my feet up on the ground I am not the only voice that you're hearing right now I'm the power of my mob, I'm the sound up in the crowd Coming to shout, calling 'em out, yelling it loud, saying it proud Calling it theft, calling it drought, you even know what I'm talking about? Fella at Cubbie just took all his money, went to the North, bought him a house Back in the day, sat in the mission and we couldn't mention a word of the mouth We couldn't talk, wasn't allowed You better listen, we talking up now I am the lie, I am the truth, I am the quarter caste in the news I am the treaty, I am the truce, I am the problem, I am the proof I am the bridge, I am the line, I'm the divide between the divine I'm keeping the spirit of rivers alive You're thinking it's fine, but really, it's only a matter of time I am the bird, I am the river that flow in the word I am the air, I am the earth, I'm the goanna that lay in the dirt I am the song I never heard, I'm here to work, I know what I'm worth You are the one that delivered the hurt Bet that you probably giggled and smirked When given the fine, pay it no mind Nothing for cotton, it's nickels and dimes Nobody stopping them doing it twice I got anxiety weighing my mind Sick and I'm tired, temperature rise Living in flood, suffer the fires Sick and I'm tired, sick and I'm tired, sick and I'm tired, I feel like It's only a matter of time Hey It's only a matter of time Hey It's only a matter of time
