That it is the descendants of colonizers who rule the vast southern Land
And not the descendants of Australia's first people seems hard to understand
Though this has happened to first Nation people Worldwide
That most people are governed by colonizers a fact that seems hard to hide
In Canada the U S and South America it is much the same
And many other Countries far too many to name
And dispossession of native populations in most cases has been quite cruel
In a World where many have died for a few for to rule
As is said about history it takes it's own course
And so many Countries have been annexed by invader force
In wars over Land so many have died
And it is the native population who are mostly on the losing side
Today in the Land of emu, wombat, koala and kangaroo
You will not hear the drone of a didgeridoo.
