Shadows
Building up a new foundation
On the land of the very first nations
The government has poor relations
Assimilating laws and people
They put up their churches and steeples
What was home is now illegal
Displaced, misplaced in time
To be alive feels like a crime
Can't be on the land that was divided
Then they took it all and then soon collided
Oh, can't be here anymore
It's a cultural war
Oh, been shoved down to the floor
Do you know what you're fighting for?
If they didn't get their way
They would raid and kill away
They were the savages everyday
Took away their spoken language
Caused so much pain and anguish
No reparation big enough for that damage
They can't live off the land
The water's brown, and this cannot stand
Money comes and does a lot of nothing
The Government gotta stop their bluffing
Oh, can't be here anymore
It's a cultural war
Oh, been shoved down to the floor
Do you know what you're fighting for?
Oh, can't be here anymore
It's a cultural war
Oh, been shoved down to the floor
Do you know what you're fighting for?
On the land of the very first nations
The government has poor relations
Assimilating laws and people
They put up their churches and steeples
What was home is now illegal
Displaced, misplaced in time
To be alive feels like a crime
Can't be on the land that was divided
Then they took it all and then soon collided
Oh, can't be here anymore
It's a cultural war
Oh, been shoved down to the floor
Do you know what you're fighting for?
If they didn't get their way
They would raid and kill away
They were the savages everyday
Took away their spoken language
Caused so much pain and anguish
No reparation big enough for that damage
They can't live off the land
The water's brown, and this cannot stand
Money comes and does a lot of nothing
The Government gotta stop their bluffing
Oh, can't be here anymore
It's a cultural war
Oh, been shoved down to the floor
Do you know what you're fighting for?
Oh, can't be here anymore
It's a cultural war
Oh, been shoved down to the floor
Do you know what you're fighting for?
