Biografía:
Kev Carmody grew up on the Western Darling Downs area of Southern Queensland. His early childhood was simple but happy, mixing mostly with stockmen, drovers, fencers, ring-barkers and timber-getters. His family, although poor lived largely off the land growing vegetables near the small three roomed ant-bed floored hut and hunting and catching everything from kangaroos to fish.
In 1956, when he was ten, Carmody was sent to a “Christian school” which he has described as “little more than an orphanage”.

G D A Bm
In 1788 down Sydney Cove the first boat people land.
G D A Bm
Said sorry boys our gains your loss, we're gonna steal your land
G D A Bm
and if you break our new British laws, for sure your gonna hang
G D A Bm
or work for life like convicts with chains on your neck and hands.
C H O R U S:
They taught us
G D A
Wo oh Black woman thou shalt not steal.
G D Bm
Oh oh Black man thou shalt not steal.
G D A Bm
We're gonna civilize your black barbaric lives and teach you how to kneel,
G D A Bm
but your history couldn't hide the genocide, the hypocrisy to us was real.
G D A Bm
Well your Jesus said your supposed to give the oppressed a beter deal.
G D Bm
We say to you yes white man, thou shalt not steal.
G D A
Oh yeah, our land you'd better heal.
G D A Bm
Your science and technology, hey you can make a nuclear bomb,
G D A Bm
development has increased its size to 3 million megatonnes.
G D A Bm
But if you think that's progress, I suggest your reasoning is unsound.
G D A Bm
You should've found out long ago, you best leave it in the ground.
C H O R U S:
G D A Bm
Me and Neil and Rednut sitting underneath the Indooroopilly bridge,
G D A Bm
watchin' that blazin' sun go down behind the tall tree'd mountain ridge.
G D A Bm
This land's our heritage and spirit, here the rightful culture's black
G D A Bm
and we sittin' here just wondering when we gonna get our land back.
C H O R U S:
G D A Bm
You talk of conservation, keep the forest pristine green.
G D A Bm
Yet in 200 years your materialism has stripped the forests clean.
G D A Bm
And a racist's a contradiction that's understood by none.
G D A Bm
Most in their left hand hold a bible, their right hand holds a gun.
C H O R U S:
I think this is mostly correct with the A interposed with an A5 002200
