Listening to Briggs
I like music with groove I like funk I like dance
Don't mind some house don't mind some trance
But when my station plays stuff
I don't need to start my day with
With messages that for me
Are way too far away
I know it's time to stop listening to it
And realise I should be listening to Briggs
I should be listening to Briggs
Hear what he's gotta to say
Learn how his people feel
Hear what they wanna say
Apologies to our First Nations people, you see
Us white people don't know how naive we can be
While America has news 'bout police brutality
Some Australians don't see what's part of our reality
Senator Briggs calls it embarrassing
As a white person I have to agree
'Cause when us white people ignore the truth
It's also embarrassing to me
I should be listening to Briggs
Hear what he's gotta to say
Learn how his people feel
Hear what they wanna say
I should be listening to Briggs
Know what he's wants to say
Feel how his people feel
Know what they wanna say
I mightn't quite like the way that he says some things
But hey, you know I guess I'd probably be angry too
We brought Christianity to this country
But did we bring the love? Is it in everything we do?
Is it in everything we do?
Do we really bring the love?
Is it in everything we do?
I should be listening to Briggs
Hear what he's gotta to say
Learn how his people feel
Hear what they wanna say
I should be listening to Briggs
Know what he's gotta to say
Feel how his people feel
Know what they wanna say
(I should be listening)
(I should be listening)
(I should be listening)
(I should be listening)
(I should be listening)
(I should be listening)
Don't mind some house don't mind some trance
But when my station plays stuff
I don't need to start my day with
With messages that for me
Are way too far away
I know it's time to stop listening to it
And realise I should be listening to Briggs
I should be listening to Briggs
Hear what he's gotta to say
Learn how his people feel
Hear what they wanna say
Apologies to our First Nations people, you see

(I should be listening)
(I should be listening)
(I should be listening)
(I should be listening)
(I should be listening)
